Let's talk about PCI-Express ports. We all know you can put graphics cards into them, among other things, such as PCIe SSDs, network cards, sound cards, USB expansion cards, other port expansion cards RAID cards, and lastly mining ASICs. But what else? What about server specific hardware?
I have a 7-port USB3 expansion card and an 8-port SATA expansion card in mine, but what else could could I put into mine? My motherboard has seven pci-e slots and I have four empty ones, I want to fill them up with something, does Holla Forums know of anything cool?
Why am I not surprised that a macfag doesn't know that PCIe is hot swappable.

I didn't say hotswap support didn't exist in the PCIe spec, I said it's practically never implemented. In other words, PCIe sucks even more IRL than on paper.

We should create a new PC peripheral standard based on Thunderbolt/USB type-C
Since thunderbolt/usb-type C are existing standards it avoids that problem, maybe we can slightly modify the interface to include a daughterboard mounting bracket or some shit but the connector itself doesn't necessarily need modification
