It's not even an balanced tree! What a monster!

I know a degraded binary search tree when I see one. Stop inserting presorted data you yabbos! Otherwise, you'll need to pull out a Red-Black tree and nobody's got time for those kinds of rotations.

3000€, 1000 GB HDD, 32GB RAM, 15" screen, 1 port.

I hate laptop manufacturers.

That's a Lenovo E480. There are two other USB-A and a USB-C and HDMI on the other side, plus you can't see behind the dongles but there's an ethernet port on the laptop as well.

I only have two complaints with what I'm looking at. One is there's probably not enough power for whatever you have connected to all of those USB things. And two, there's not enough support for the port that you're plugging this into to resist the weight of all of the dongles, which could damage the motherboard.

What if they're external drives with their own power supplies? I've done things nearly this convoluted, but used self powered devices.

It's plugged into the USB port not the motherboard.

The USB port is attached to the motherboard.

And the leg bone connected to the knee bone.

There is a generic leg bone?

Yup totally it probably just means femur, tibia, or fibula.

I hope you're remembered like Ken M. I always find these funny, even when, or perhaps especially when, they don't land well in the thread.

I will never not upvote the ‘Fart

What do you think will break first with enough downward force? The port, or the motherboard solder joints holding the weight?

No this is a schooner.

Would be a lot less cursed if they used a USBA extension so they could rest on a table.

So does each successive one become slower or how does that work?

Probsbly not a ton, the controller can handle a quite a bit. Really depends what you are doing with each cable. If all are transferring data to a separate thing on each cable then yes it could be bad. Power is more of the problem, only has so much juice per slot. If those are all phone charger cables, possible hardly any of them actually charging a device.

I imagine power is split evenly. I wonder if speed is split evenly or successively slower.

USB can handle 127 daisy chained items. However, there's like an absolute maximum of the amount of data and power that can go over any one USB port.

Assuming this is USB 3, that would typically be capped somewhere around 5 gigabits per second and usually, 5 to 15 watts of power, so they would all have to divvy up that between themselves.

USB is pretty smart, so it probably won't automatically divide down based on the number of attached items like Wifi used to and instead the controllers should dole out the in-out requests on an as needed basis.

This is art.
