MacBook, Dongle-dom & "Single port life"
How is life with only 1 port? What are the restrictions with non-Thunderbolt 3 compatibility? I am presuming today there aren't many devices though this may change. Is the 5Gbps upper limit an issue, or is this just for "pro" use, i.e. multi-5k screens, plus TB3-native SSDs or eGPUs? Is there... -

Replacing Bad Thunderbolt 3 port on MBP2018
I've started to notice when I bump my TB3 cable all my devices (screens, disk drive, etc) on my dock reset. If I move the cable to other ports, it doesn't do that... so I am assuming I've got a port that is loose. In the iFixIt teardown, I see the ports are on their own pcb and connect via...- dguisinger
