Not worth it. Delivered the wrong order, and then they don't answer the phone.

Depends on what you are doing with it. A box provides protection, and usually a few connectors. If you are using it outdoors, most likely...

bmett on Aten USB-C Dual View Multiport Power Charging Dock UH3230 $189 (was $310) + Shipping / Pickup @ UMART

Looks fine, it uses DP Alt Mode for the video and the rest should be common USB.

I believe the cablematters one posted below does - the drop to USB 2.0 speeds when you switch it to '4k mode' only makes sense for a DP Alt...

Most USB docking stations will be using displaylink chips for the video support. Note that these are not great if you want full gaming...

Maybe Apple is cracking down on unauthorised use of 'iPhone' and 'Lightning' trademarks, so they can't use either of them.

That seems to only restrict them from giving away Steam keys for the game, not the game itself. ie. They can give away all the Epic store...

Or use a molex->sata power adaptor so there's no 3.3v to start with. Or clip the 3.3v wire on the cable.
