Usage I am (and apparently other folks on tne list are) used to is
"has the gear already installed & working"

Even "has connections for" means - in COMMON usage - that the item has the PHYSICAL parts required to hook up the relevant bits of subsidiary tech already installed. In this sense, a laptop or a smart phone is "wired for" HDMI connection to other devices by having at least one HDMI port actually installed into it at the factory. There used to exist (before such models were made obsolete through lack of same) such devices that came from the factory without such "wired for" connections.

All electical devices come from the factory wired for electricity. They just need a wall socket.

The mind does not work on electricty, either AC or DC.

Given the above, the assumption (as I and other have stated) is that a human "wired from birth" for control of external electronics will have the relevant data ports installed into their nervous systems as physical cyberwear.

A million people making the same assumption, is still an assumption.

It would have been better if you asked if you were unsure what exactly I meant than assume
