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.

I have two Orico USB hubs, the powered one has four 3.0 ports, and the unpowered one has one 3.0 port and five 2.0 ports. If I plug the powered hub into the pc then chain the unpowered one into it, will the unpowered hub run into power issues if I plug high-power-consuming devices into it? And does it make any difference if I switch the hubs order?

will the unpowered hub run into power issues if I plug high-power-consuming devices into it?

Yes, since it's limited by how much power it can draw from the other hub, and would have a limit on how much power the unpowered hub can pass to its own ports.

And does it make any difference if I switch the hubs order?

Yes. Putting the powered hub second means that it doesn't need to pull power through the unpowered hub, and it should be fine right be used as normal.

edit: I didn't understand what a 'powered' hub was and I read it as a hub that could transfer high amounts of power. I've left my original comment below for context


Putting the powered hub second means that it doesn't need to pull power through the unpowered hub, and it should be fine right be used as normal.

~~I might be misunderstanding, but wouldn't this still be a problem?~~ I was misunderstanding

Computer
  |-unpowered hub
      |-powered hub
          |-power hungry device

it would need something like

Computer
  |-powered hub
      |-power hungry device
      |-unpowered hub
          |-low power devices

Why would the first be a problem? The powered hub doesn't get the power from the power hungry device from the unpowered up, does it?

[–] otter@lemmy.ca 2 points 11 months ago

I misunderstood, my bad

[–] theKalash@feddit.ch 1 points 11 months ago

Just plug the lower power device in the unpowered or powered hub from the first example. You're just adding a hub for no reason.
