    Constant Kernel Panics

    Got a 16" M1 Max around mid-December. Didn't have a problem for the first week or so, then the unit began to panic constantly, no matter what I was doing (watching videos, on the phone, on Discord...).

    Caldigit TS3 Plus, only 60 watt with M1 Max MacBook Pro?

    Has anyone a similar problem with the TS3+? I have my whole setup connected to a power strip and I turn it off when I don't need it. If I turn it back on, my MBP only gets 60watts from the TS3+... After restarting the MacBook I get 87 watts. Is this an issue with my macbook or with the TS3+ dock?
