Ditch Your USB-A Dongle and Embrace the USB-C Life

I've had something of a tricky relationship with dongles. Specifically, the humble USB-A dongle--the little thing you plug into your desktop or laptop computer to make wireless peripherals like keyboards, mice, and headsets, work. These little things have caused me no end of sleepless nights, emotional anguish, and personal turmoil. They look and feel extremely janky when they're plugged into a laptop, doubly so when you have to plug a USB-A dongle into a USB-C dongle because so many laptops now have only USB-C ports. They're awful, I hate them, and I wish ill upon them.
