OtterUSB-C hubs and my slow descent into madness - Dennis Schubert
DohnakunCan confirm, such combined hubs have almost always a.weak/cheap part that makes the whole thing useless on failing. That’s why i now go with a single-job-per-component principle. Ethernet to USB-C adapter and HDMI to USB-C adapter on a USB-C hub for example.
Tell that to the brand new, pretty expensive laptop I recently got from work which has a whopping 1 USB-C port that also doubles as the charging port. In no way can I get a multifunctional adapter to charge and output DisplayPort or HDMI at the same time. I’m starting to dislike USB and the clusterfuck of incompatible or optional protocols it can carry.
Wow, really? I guess that unfortunately makes sense. I have a dock for my work laptop that charges and works for HDMI/etc but it uses an entire two USB-C ports at once.
