A short comedic video in which a man poses as an Apple engineer talking about the 2016 MacBook Pro. It is a critique of the USB-C-only design.
HN mentions it mostly as a joke in threads about dongles and USB-C.

Some smartass engineer should have sold Tim Cook on the docks by rebranding them as dongles. Then Apple would have put out ten different coloured dongle-docks for each new device. Related: this video
Apple is very happy to sell you a $$$$ phone/laptop and then $$ dongles to make it actually work with the other things in the world. This is old, but still gold this video
Just in case you didn't see this Youtube video (El Risitas meme) yet, making fun of Apple's decision: this video I think the subtitling is very well executed.
