Welcome to IWETHEY!

New USB-C "docks" and adapters... *sigh*
Local electronics store has a range of USB-C things to other stuff, mostly for the MacBook crowd because that's all those things have. Far too many of them have HDMI plus other more desirable stuff - I'm thinking HDMI must be stupid cheap to add, given there's a way to get it directly over the USB-C connector. 2x USB-A plus HDMI. USB-A, SD card reader, HDMI. USB-A, USB-C, HDMI (Apple's standard one, actually). 2x 4K HDMI. Umm.

It took me months to find a simple 1x USB-A socket. I settled for a "hub" that has three USB-A sockets plus inexplicably an Ethernet port, too!

Standards are wonderful - so many to choose from.
