Thanks to @jstultz for showing that the monstrosity of USB A-C-A with a magnetic C connector in the middle actually works! Saves me constantly having to plug/unplug my microphone and camera every other day into my well-worn USB hub.

John did it much better with one less adapter than I so this stack could be smaller if needed, but this is all I could find locally.

@gregkh @jstultz Christ. That’s some true “redneck engineering”. Couldn’t you at least make it just one of those monstrosities, and use a second small USB hub for the camera/microphone?

In unrelated news: How do I unread a post on the Fediverse?
