USB-C hubs and my slow descent into madness - Dennis Schubert - Lemmy.ca

I was looking for a new USB-c hub and came across this article. It’s an interesting write-up of what is on the inside of some popular options

Also if anyone has recommendations, I’d appreciate those too!
I know they were in hot water because of eufy but I honestly still love my anker products. I honestly trust the power delivery or passthrough (whatever its called) but I guess the same can be said about any other hub that has the proper certifications so just make note of that when looking at products. Havent read the article yet in case its mentioned in there but I’ll skim it in the mornin. Good luck!
Thank you! I had an Anker hub in the past, but had some trouble with the Ethernet dropping when using it heavily (ex. during a zoom meeting or when moving large files). I’m not sure if that was an Anker issue or just something with hubs in general. I’m still open to another Anker one, but I was looking for other options as well
We use UGREEN ones at work, and they seem to do the job well so far. 100W PD, HDMI and ethernet working well.

I have a small Ugreen I bought a few years ago and while I’m not using it anymore it did its job well while I needed it and afaik it still works well. Initially I got it for the detachable usb-c cable.

And I think it’s authentically Chinese, doesn’t pretend to be a German company or anything like that.
