4 things you really shouldn’t plug into a USB hub

I don’t mind how thin and light laptops have gotten these days, but one unfortunate side effect of that design trend is the steady disappearance of USB ports. I remember when laptops were loaded with them. Now, as laptops have gotten thinner, USB-A ports are often pushed aside in favor of USB-C. That’s great if all your accessories are USB-C — and to be clear, I like USB-C — but when USB-A devices are still everywhere, it can be a real pain.
