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

Far too many technological products of almost any kind are like this now. Often hiding behind complex and useless warranties (our new $6000 Carrier home HVAC device failed after 16 months -- warranty requires us to remove and ship back!).

It's all such a shit show.
