Not sure if it's loose USB-C ports, but it seems like the adapters are very flaky. Some work well with one machine, but others take 10+ reconnects to make it detect a monitor plugged into the HDMI port

I have seen a progressive failure with my USB-C and the Plugable TBT3 doc. I never had a problem with it for the first year but now I am having to reboot the laptop regularly because it no longer talks to the display port and plugging/unplugging stops working after a while.

Also, what is up with macbookpro's Bluetooth? Everyone at my office has the 13" and no one can use Bluetooth consistantly. Lost connections, no connections, etc.

98% of the things I plug in are the power cable and my thunderbolt dock.

The power cable was the wobbliest, but is now quite firm again
