I have three of these I’ve collected over the last 3 years, and none of them work anymore.

Is this the new USB-C future we were promised? With a single-point of failure for everything as the number of ports on laptop decreases year-on-year?

    Especially when you run video through them for extended periods of time, for example work video calls. They get very hot and have a very short life span, I seem to have to replace mine every 6 months or so

      I’ve been running video and power through one of those for over 4 years, 9 hours a day. Got hot as hell, but still working (has since been retired because I changed the setup).
