Took my 'Burb to the dealer this morning to address a squeaky sound that happens during road imperfections on the highway. Crossing my fingers that it means something needs to be lubed.
Basically, I'm stuck using USB-C for charging with a separate HDMI port for audio\video. The original hopes and dreams were to have a dock in the center console, with one single USB-C connection for charging, A\V, USB, etc. The problem is that there are very few docks that work with a Nintendo Switch and a Steam Deck\Ally\Legion\Laptop, the only one that really fits the bill has a male USB-C output. Due to USB-C's design, a female to female adapter (coupler) can't exist. It can ONLY pass power (not data), and only in one direction...so it will only pass power through with the cable plugged in one way. I guess a lot of the reasoning behind it safety. With a female to female adapter you can basically make a USB-C to USB-C cable as long as you want. Since they are carrying a significant amount of power to charge devices (PD power), the cables aren't rated to carry that kind of current over long distances. Worst case scenario there could potentially be a fire hazard, melting wires, etc.It looks great. What is not going right? Maybe I can help you.
