  • I see “taxes” a lot but I have never seen someone explain the mechanism by which this is supposed to work.

    The only thing I can come up with in my head is that they have capitalized the development costs and are currently depreciating the resulting asset. And that by cancelling/delisting the games it may allow them to immediately depreciate the rest of it, thereby recognizing a large expense for the current tax year, reducing profit, and therefore taxes.

    Is that how this is supposed to work?







  • Have you tried an enclosure for the drive with its own dedicated power source?

    My suspicion is that upon the PD renegotiation, your drive is temporarily losing power. Whether this is expected or USB-compliant behavior, I don’t know. But if that is the problem, I’d think using a separately powered enclosure might solve it.

    On the other hand, maybe the (internal to hub) data hub IC is resetting the data line upon PD renegotiation. That seems contrary to the intent of USB and I’d suspect violates the USB standard.

    Source: I’ve designed some USB PD power systems but not delved into the details of how data is handled
