Virgin Thunderbolt Dock vs ThinkPad Base Station

Virgin Thunderbolt Dock Fools unfinished, fragile and untested Frequent Mouse Shutter and Ghost-Typing Has a day 1 firmware patch Loses connection if it feels like, Crashes frequently and forces you to reboot "Nice dual monitor setup you have there, would be such a shame if I only connect to one of them" Forces you to buy a Laptop with an intel CPU Flashy design to cover up flawness Hackers can steal virgins crying fetch port collection thanks to Thunderbolt-C? Cables Costs >$300 Confusing standard with all sorts of pitfalls > Peripherals in 2020 Awful Relationship Chad proprietary Thinkpad Base Station Why I can't hold all my USB Ports? Dock Works since 2010, bought a replacement much just in 2019, bought a replacement for $9 on ebay Only supports 2 Monitors for maximum focus, doesn't even let you procrastinate by watching cringy livestreamers "What is 4k?" Even the Laptop itself already has more ports than a regular Thunderbolt dock Lets you choose between VGA, DVI or DisplayPort Works flawlessly since day 1 without issues Has sexy VGA Port Proprietary: Bound for life It just works Laptop snaps into place with a satisfying sound Instantly ready if connected

Сравнение «девственника» с хрупкой и капризной док-станцией Thunderbolt и уверенного Чэда с надёжной проприетарной ThinkPad Base Station. Левая сторона высмеивает дорогой современный стандарт за сбои, прошивки, несовместимость и проблемы с мониторами, а правая восхваляет старую док-станцию за простоту: она просто работает, имеет много портов и подключается с приятным щелчком. Мем используют как шутливую реакцию на спор о современных универсальных стандартах против старых, но надёжных решений. EN: A comparison between a “virgin” with a fragile, finicky Thunderbolt dock and a confident Chad with a reliable proprietary ThinkPad Base Station. The left side mocks the expensive modern standard for crashes, firmware updates, incompatibility, and monitor problems, while the right side praises the old dock for being simple: it just works, has many ports, and connects with a satisfying click. The meme is used as a humorous reaction to debates about modern universal standards versus old but reliable solutions.
