[QUOTE="krs, post: 1837654, member: 67742"] Let me jump into this conversation just for fun. and pretend I'm the "artsy" guy, no clue how to screw in a light bulb. 1. I have a number of older flash drives, some USB 2.0, also a USB mouse (probably USB 1.0) I need to plug in since the USB ports on my keyboard are toast. There is no USB 2.0 port on my Mac (at least nothing labelled that way)...no what? I read somewhere that I can plug a USB 2.0 device into a USB 3.0 slot and it should work - what about USB 1.0 2. I read somewhere that USB-C can also provide power, is that for these combination Thunderbolt 3/USB-C ports as well? (this is a better question for a MacBook rather than the image above, but still valid) I can relate to Ratsima's confusion/concern - especially when one then runs into the issue where the adapter cables themselves have limitations. Like "You want to drive a 4K monitor properly and see the image in full "4K" - sorry but the Thunderbolt 3 cable you have only supports a resolution of 1920x1200 [/QUOTE]
