Sony WF-C700N. I've had my pair for a long time and I wore them on an Interrailing holiday, which included two days of cross-country hiking in Finnmark. In Northern Norway. In February. Not -40°C, admittedly, but below -20°C. They worked a treat and both have big, clicky physical buttons that are easy to use even through a hat, a thick scarf and gloves.
Also, one of the reasons the EU waited for USB-C is that it specifically supports Alt Mode, which allows non-USB-standard protocols - like this new video connector thing - to be encapsulated within it.
The whole point of USB-C is that it's a standardised connector that allows anyone to shoehorn their own protocol down it if they want using Alt Mode. Moreover, they can do that without breaking compatibility with other USB-C - or even just specific features - if one of the devices doesn't speak their crazy-ass moon protocols. This is a benefit of USB-C, not a failing.
Graphics cards come with as many ports as the manufacturer wants them to. My home PC's GPU has two HDMI and two MiniDisplayPort. Also, there are cheap lossless adapters that will convert between MiniDisplayPort, DisplayPort, HDMI, DVI, etc, etc.
I disagree with the more than 4K being a theoretical need thing but, regardless, where I work, every desk has a pair of 4K monitors that connect to the user's laptop via a single USB-C cable. That cable also connects a keyboard, mouse, gigabit ethernet and, depending on the desk, 10Gb ethernet, multiple cameras and conference audio. The cable also charges the laptop, of course. At the moment that's mostly done using USB-C docking stations, but we've started to deploy monitors that are USB-C native and can be daisychained together.
But let's not allow measley facts get in the way of having a moan at nothing, shall we? Fucking EU. Forcing us to [checks notes] charge all out things using a single connector, reducing e-waste, and, uh, ensuring there's lots of futureproofing built-in. BASTARDS.
Please don't work yourself into living a lie, the longer it lasts the harder it is both to maintain and unravel. My drinking buddies still think I'm the Vice President of Northern Macedonia's body double. I mean, they've had three elections since then.
In seriousness, though, one of these type of sites looked like a scam but they warned me that my Driver Registry needed defragmentation to avoid WiFi Corruption and had a free download to fix it so, y'know, swings and roundabouts.
The 10Gb is full duplex, so you can transfer at the full 10Gb though that is split between upload and download. These and the kind of 'problems' I wish I had to consider.
Have the replicator print a replicator that auto-prints identical copies of itself as often as it can so you can cause the collapse of reality without having to be involved.
Hell, have the replicator print a replicator without the 24-hour cooldown to hurry things along a little
