Today I learned that Thunderbolt is the name of the interface/protocol, not the connector.
USB-C adds additional pins for alt-mode as well as a higher power delivery allowance, but the USB data protocol part of it is the same as any other type of port of the same spec.
Some of us do work in actual offices and not in some coffee shops down the street. ;)
Whoah, what's up with that? Not sure why you're inferring this coffee shop story or why you're doing this smug posturing thing but it's pretty obnoxious.
