I'm sorry, I should clarify, when I say clean I dont mean minimal, maybe sleek or stylish (but now gaudy) would have been better words

Fantastic resources! Thank you

Wtf??Gosh this Lemmy universe is so much different. Doesn't feel extremely micromanaged lol

Man I get stingy and always have to go for the nicer products, even if I dont need them lol I've been eyeing thinkpad, dell, anker, and pluggable docks mostly. There's a brand called wavlink too that has great deals but can seem to find much info on them

Thanks a lot for this info. Even after getting one usb c port replaced on my dell xps 13 9310, but still, the sensitivity of usb c has been so frustrating! Its like the slightest little jerk or bump of a plugged in usb stick will cause it to disconnect or just the slightest movement of a charging cable will disconnect, it ughhh its annoying. I really need one nice, fortified usb type c connector cable to plug in and just leave it plugged into the dock. Then no more using the shoddy usb c ports on my laptop! But determining just exactly what cable would be best for the link from laptop to dock has been difficult for me to determine. I'm thinking a ugreen right elbow cable. I feel the 90 degree elbow would help in reducing strain and allowing a better connection

My laptop does support thunderbolt 4 and I have heard about alt mode but haven't quite dug in enough to understand it yet. Thanks

Thanks, I just dont quite understand this data rate portion of these cables. Is that strictly just transferring files within your network to other devices?

Thanks a lot! So to be clear, the cable that links my laptop to a dock isn't as important as I'm thinking it may be? Or are you saying I'd be best off investing in a nice thunderbolt 4?

Ahh ok so you connect your laptop to the dock via thunderbolt? Thats sorta been the idea I've been thinking; just focus on first getting one great cable to link the laptop to a docking station

I'm sorry this went over my head, but what do you mean by this?

Not sure if snark or sincere? But thanks? Its so hard to get a feel for this placecomparesd to reddit, its mostly nasty, snarky individuals

Also I've read 5A is the better choice too, do you agree with that? And also, these cables down too right?
