    USB-C hubs with two USB connectors to the MBP - are they solid and strong ?

    I've already bought a USB hub with a single port to the MBP integrated (see image below).. ...and it's outrageously bad - it was a Satechi brand and the single USB port is so flimsy to support something 20 times it's size and the things you plug into it. What holds in the ports is not...

    USB-C Hub gets very hot on MacBook Pro 2020

    I just got the new MacBook Pro 2020 (4-ports version) and with that, the Dodocool 8-in-2 USB-C hub. I am seeing that the hub heats up very quickly and after an hour or so, it feels really hot. I am worried that it may damage my MacBook. Any thoughts? Thanks!
