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

I came across this article way back when I was searching for a true to the name USB-C hub in that a device that gives you more than 1 usb-c socket!

When I read the article I gave up searching for them and now refuse to by anything that resembles a USB-C hub due to this article and the lack of true to the name USB-C hubs.

I have a bunch of USB-A to C adaptors and a USB-A self powered hub that gives me 7 USB-A ports ๐Ÿ‘
