I have three of these I've collected over the last 3 years, and none of them work anymore.

Is this the new USB-C future we were promised? With a single-point of failure for everything as the number of ports on laptop decreases year-on-year?

If you want a brand recommendation:

brand recommendationSabrent hubs have been quite sturdy overall several years of occasional use for me. But any brand name that you can trust will do as well.

Random cheaply made Amazon products are made to fail.

I think fewer USB ports is a terrible trend.

Why would you hide that behind a spoiler tag?

I think they're good, but I'm trying not to sound like a paid advertiser for them. Other brands could be just as good or better.

The info is there for those who need it, but I'm trying to keep from polluting Lemmy with corporate ad-like comments and allow more space for discussion and personal opinions.
