I swear by the Kingston nucleum.

Great, informative write up. Thank you.

Was the issue that he was getting knock offs through Amazon?

I’ve use a CalDigit TS3 Plus on my MacBook Pro for a couple of years, it’s pretty reliable. There is a lot of noise over the headphone port though, so I don’t use that.

draft - can we get a usbc community going on lemmy.world / lemmy like we have r/usbchardware (reddit.com/r/usbchardware) on reddit? thank you

Not surprised to hear more people having this issue. I wanted a dock with usb 3 and usb c and a ports a few years back and was shocked at how few actually items were available. I tried a few that advertised as usb 3 but were obviously not. Not surprised to learn how much of a clusterfuck it was and still is.
