why are USB hubs marked up so much
USB hub or chargers
both
Hrm
like i just want a heavy USB hub
one with some weight that isn't housefire
iirc powered 3.0 ones with 7 ports are at 12 bucks
link me
i dont need 3.0
2.0s should be extremely cheap
You talked about them being expensive, so I thought you referred to the 3.0s
no
theyre really lightweight
i had one once
The problem with these is that they feed power back into your Computers
Even good non chink ones
i want one that plugs into a wall
So, a powered one?
@Camphor76-22-2 Elaborate, I didn't know about this
They leak current back into the computer through the data lines. So yes
Dont buy powered hubs from china especially
Well, I haven't powered mine yet, thankfully
There have been several recals/lawsuits here in the states about this in the past
Well, this is good to know, thanks
I was planning of getting a cheap power supply to fuel it, but I guess that plan is now put on ice
god this would ne nice
but it's 30 so many dollars
That's relatively expensive
Lemme check the brand of the one I've got
Well, I've got this one, actually:
But I think they're about the same
Or hrm
The ports themselves should still work for charging, and if you sre handy you can get a multimeter to see if yours is leaking current, so all hope is not lost.
Maybe not
Oh yeah
I was thinking of getting a multimeter
