USB On-The-Go (computer.rip)
USB, the Universal Serial Bus, was first released in 1996. It did not achieve widespread adoption until some years later; for most of the '90s RS-232-ish serial and its awkward sibling the parallel port were the norm for external peripheral.
Will that hub or dock slow your SSDs, or even make them faster? (eclecticlight.co)
They might all connect to the same ports, but Thunderbolt 3, 4, 5, USB 3 and USB4 are disturbingly different, and few deliver the performance that their up-tos promise. From the figures that I see here at the moment, the most reliably performant in widely available products is USB4, but that’s not supported by Thunderbolt 3 on Intel Macs.
Implement a USB->SCSI Bridge Mode for BlueSCSI (github.com/BlueSCSI)
This feature request is to add a new "mode" to BlueSCSI that allows it to connect legacy SCSI devices to a modern-ish host via USB.
Show HN: Bluetooth USB Peripheral Relay – Bridge Bluetooth Devices to USB (github.com/bahaaador)
This project creates a Bluetooth USB HID relay using a Raspberry Pi Zero (or similar OTG-enabled single-board computer). It allows you to use Bluetooth keyboards and mice with computers that have Bluetooth disabled, by presenting the board as a composite USB HID device.
USB Insight Hub (crowdsupply.com)
USB Insight Hub plugs into your computer through a USB Type-C connector and exposes three USB 3.0 downstream ports, each with a 1.3-inch screen that displays relevant information about the attached device.
