Specifically:
I'm looking for a USB-C hub that has nothing but USB-C ports. I have a crap-ton of old(er) USB hubs that have 4, 8, or even 10 USB (type A) ports, supporting up to USB 3.0, but I haven't yet encountered an equivalent that has USB-C only. No matter what I search for, I can only find hubs/docks that also offer HDMI, Ethernet, etc. I need something much simpler. I want wall-to-wall USB-C.
Assuming these things are out there - should they be suitable for monitors that (supposedly) only need a USB-C connection to a PC (plus maybe a wall wart, which I suppose is fine)...?
I have the room so I could line up 3 such 15" monitors above (or below) my main display, a 40" 4K TV hooked up to my PC via HDMI. I obviously don't have an infinite number of spare HDMI ports, so I'm wondering if multiples of those USB-C monitors (+ hub) might be a viable option. Do I have unrealistic expectations?
I'm getting tired of having some windows constantly getting buried by other windows and having to dig them out 100 times a day. I'd be perfectly happy if I could dedicate a (smallish) monitor for Teams, another for my email client, another for notes and such, and leave my other monitors free for "everything else".

Well it certainly looks like it.
No idea though whether it would work with USB monitors. Based on what I've been reading, it's not necessarily just because the cable will physically connect that it'll be able to carry video.
At least now I know for sure they do exist.
OTOH - Your link shows it as "currently unavailable".
[Edit]
Amazon.ca shows it available...for CAD$185.25. Wut, for a hub??

That looks like the technical term I was missing. Thanks for that.

If you're looking to daisy chain monitors, take a look at DisplayPort systems. DisplayPort was designed to daisy chain monitors.

This thing also has that thing of which has now bespoken itswelf into relative time and space, since out last RSS crepusculation.
Yes, it does seem expensive but ... what has anything got to do with (subject that shall remain unspoken)?

If the goal was to impress me based on price alone...well done.

Ok, I see what you mean.

You know it has occured to me lately that there's probably a society (by now anyway) for the furtherance of the destruction of all search engines. Now if only they were smart enough to know when they were licked and just commit suicide without any aid from humans:

I was wondering AI is now being used in every industry. Traveling is something I am most interested in from a long time.
I have been to many countries. Experienced their culture etc. Other than traveling planning or creating itineraries is there anything that Ai can help in?

I don't know what added value AI will give me when traveling.
Airlines and hotels aggregators seem to be working fine these days.

If you happen to talk about cheese not too far away from your smartphone, AI will propose you to travel to only France or Switzerland.

Which shows exactly what's wrong with AI, it should propose Italy.

I want to visit Portugal since 5th grade - it was actually my elementary school end-of-school research topic for Geography.

Perhaps AI would reduce the surprise element during travel.
If things become predictable, then no surprises (of the pleasant kind).
|
|

Isn't part of the magic of travel the surprise. It helps to have an idea of where to go, but once you get there, if you've watched all the YouTube videos and explored all the blogs, do you really need to go there? Yes it will be new, but you'll be judging it against the eyes of somebody else that only showed the "perfect" side of it.

Yes. That's what i meant. AI would reduce surprise in travel, and hence reduce the spontaneity of our responses. So, i would not prefer AI for travel.
However, if some form of AI gives cautionary information on how to avoid getting mugged, etc., that would be okay; not sure whether AI does this.
|

|
|
|
I would like AI to wash my dishes while I use free time to be creative with arts and music.
Currently, it is still the other way round.
|
|
|
|
|
Traveling can involve a lot of variables, so AI applied to travel makes sense to me.

My vector graphics live!
Oh man, I've been so overwhelmed trying to port plutovg to C++ and integrate it into my library. I'm not done, but I'm through the woods *knock on some of it*
I didn't know if I was going to finish it. I kept running into massive problems because I needed to fundamentally change the way plutovg rendered in order to be able to do so in low memory situations. Prior it could only render to an in memory bitmap at 4 bytes per pixel, which wasn't feasible.
I hate shelving projects and I was about ready to abandon this one and maybe start over later. What a mess. Then I got some wind in me, rolled up my sleeves and proceeded to use my bare arms to pull a rabbit out of a hat.
