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

    Terrific write up. It’s a shame that these reputable companies aren’t producing their own hub thru R&D, good part sourcing and finding factories with stricter standards. White label OEMs being pushed at 4-7x the cost of what you can actually get it for is pretty insulting.

      It feels like the kind of thing that should be regulated so that these companies are forced to disclose upfront which items they are reselling and not manufacturing.
