    You know, I’d really like to say that this is the source of all of her problems, but it isn’t. USB-C is the new universal adapter for everything, but it does not preclude universal adaptability.

    Whether a computer is capable of certain things or not, is something you will have to consult a specific computers tactical manual about. Just because it has a USB-C port, does not mean it can do everything. A USB-C port is capable of doing. That’s up to you to determine.

    I don’t mean to sound like a dick, but…

    ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

      To add to the situation, the age of the device alone led me to believe that it wasn’t new enough to support video on USB-C, and I told her as much from the start.

        Ummm… I wanna help…

        I’m just saying that alternative approaches might reveal better results.

        Perhaps we should talk about this tomorrow? Hit me up later 😊
