It's the year of the dongle, folks. Are you ready for your not-so-wireless futures to begin?

How about an update of this video? I would appreciate a comparison of the most recent dongles.

[TechTrooper]

A 2021 update with the most recent dongles would be amazing.

I love fiddling with dongles. The insertion is smooth and goes in both ways. The adapters can be moved into many different positions. They have extra power and more bandwidth girth for stronger devices and data flow.

The future isn't dongles. The future is one port for everything. The bridge is dongles.

Buy USB C enabled hardware.

Who's here to support the channel even if you don't like the new thumbnails?

[EliteSniperTV]

"and they are lit af" lmao linus I love the shit you say sometimes

[KennyZ-je]

agreed! we need a 2023's dongles comparison video!

I wouldn't mind all type c but not as fast and aggressive as Apple is doing it.

[CommodoreFan]

Thankfully I don't have to worry about this yet with my Lenovo Chromebook that has 2 USB 3.0 type A ports, 1 USB 2.0 Type A port, a real gigabit Ethernet jack, onboard VGA, full size HDMI 1.4a port, a full size SD card reader a 1.5 GHz Intel Celeron 1007U that has 2 multithreads, 8GB 1600MHZ DDR3L ram, and a 250GB WD Blue HDD for extra storage all in an 11.6 in frame. Also another bonus I still have the handy trackpoint on my keyboard that I wish Lenovo would bring back on newer models.

Hyperdrive is releasing a perfect hub for MacBook Pro. A thunderbolt 3 port, one 3.1 type c port. Three 3.0 type a ports. One SD card reader. Specs look great on paper. Not sure how it performs.

This is over a year old. It's 2018 now, I just bought a new laptop and.. Still don't need any adapters because apart from the one Type-C the brand new laptop still has a full-size ethernet, multiple "old" USB ports, a mic/headphone 2-in-1 3.5mm jack and a full size DP. turns out that space on the side of the device can be used for adaptors! (did I mention that matte display which somehow was pronounced 10 years ago is way better when actually using the laptop outside where glossy displays show everything but the actual image due to their reflective nature?)

I self identify as an MSI gaming laptop with a huge dongle

[OneTheSane]

And update would be awesome. Though it is amazing that any tech issue i have, your videos pop up. I've been watching you for what seems like forever. I'm talking ncix days. Thank you Linus Media Group for everything you do

LTT be like:
*Apple introduces laptops with only type c* - > 'this is ridiculous'
*PC manufacturers introduce laptops with only type c* - > 'Well, all right, let's buy dongles'

Hi. Maybe you know the difference between a hub with 220 power supply through the power supply unit and without it it does not work (not one connector) and those without power supply can be attached to the laptop, but you can optionally charge it through tiapsi ???? them, with a power of 200-600 euros, and without it 30-100 euros. I suggested that through the first infa comes from flash drives faster, if 3 immediately and for example 2 monitors 4k and everything pulls and in simple ones something will slow down or 4k worse or speed ... no other explanation

[itsdeonlol]

Why are your thumbnails so weird lately?

[LaughMuBai]

This definitely needs an update and in particular a single USB-C [IN] from PC/MAC that supports/drives [OUT] at least x3 USB-C 1080p HD monitors, which would also as a bonus give touchscreen capable monitors this functionality without having to run a separate USB connection (e.g. HDMI + USB).

Found this, but doesn't support monitors...

[trumptman]

I appreciate this video however there was one angle I really needed to see that you didn't do. Most of us are stuck on these computers with fast but small (at least compared to hd's) ssds. That means we will be using the card readers to likely transfer media to an external ssd where the work on video editing will occur. I would have appreciated it if you had shown the hubs trying to transfer directly from their card readers to an attached external ssd all through the same hub.

[kylenetherwood]

Why am I watching this? My laptop has 3 USB 2.0, 2 USB 3.0, HDMI, VGA, Ethernet, 3.5mm Audio Jack, an SD card reader, a DVD drive and Kensington lock.

That was actually a really smooth lead into the Fresh Books ad. Nice one. The video was pretty cool too.
