This is why the USB ports on your TV suck

Something I’ve repeatedly complained about with smart TVs is how outdated their ports are, even if you’ve paid thousands of dollars for an RGB or OLED set. You’ll often find HDMI 2.0 and 2.1 ports sitting next to each other, despite 2.1 being virtually mandatory for modern laptops and consoles. Ethernet ports, meanwhile, may be stuck at 100Mbps, even though gigabit technology has been available since 1999. That’s right — there are adults with kids and careers who’ve lived their entire lives in a world where gigabit is the norm.
