No such thing. Ask away!

!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.



Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.

Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.



Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Given that all of them are all powered hubs so power won't be the issue and you have enough space to put them. How much will it impact performance, latency or other things I don't know about? Or it will straight up kill the port if there are too many hubs?

Forget daisy-chaining. I gave up on finding a single decent USB hub, let alone connecting them together.

i have a number of clients with anker powered usb3 hubs. no issues from any of them, and one of those is my.. uh.. 'most difficult' one. if he had a problem, i would know about it

+1, powered USB3 hubs have worked fine for me as well. Keep them away from any 2.4GHz transceivers though, I've had issues with RF noise from them wrecking wireless mouse/keyboard signals.

[–] Risk@feddit.uk 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Huh, that's interesting. That might be exactly the cause of the issue I was having with them (plugging in 2.4Ghz keyboards and mice into them).

[–] seaQueue@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I worked around that by plugging in a usb2 extension cable that came with something I bought and placing the 2.4ghz transceiver maybe 2-3' away from the hub. Same deal with the mouse and keyboard, they need to be a reasonable distance (some # of inches) away from USB 3 signals.

[–] Risk@feddit.uk 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Gunna have to experiment with this, however my PC is set up next to our sofa so the distances might not work out.

[–] seaQueue@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

I had a hub on my desk next to my monitor so I just ran the extension up the back of the monitor and fixed it in place near the top edge. That was enough distance (maybe 18-20in now that I think about it) to resolve the interference. If you play around a bit you might find that even 10in is enough distance. Try a USB 2 extension cable too, that'll keep v3 signalling at a distance.
