@ElectricElecami Most likely something like that, but I suspect there's some separate mux or something that faults, as only alt-mode gets fucky. "normal USB" still worked fine on those ports. Made me debug things in vain until I realized that something was wrong with alt-mode only.
Got a headset, and curiosity lead into some disassembly~
I have been trying to debug: why does the headset need the "link box"? It would be handy to use direct connection to a USB-C port that supports DP1.4
@ElectricElecami I got some weird behaviour when plugged a new (though de-shelled) adapter to my laptops USB4 capable USB-C port. It faulted the alt-mode (USB and charging still worked) so that I had to remove battery to get it back to working again. (bought same ones you had) So just a heads-up!
@ElectricElecami Oh, had similar success with similar (or perhaps even the same) module. But have been testing other options, so I could have PD input too. Been up to mods that require additional power to keep stable. >:3
@ElectricElecami Ooh~
I am still waiting for my DP->USB-C adapters. :<
Ordered them a couple of weeks ago, should perhaps arrive soon. Was about to test something similar. Will (probably) post results. :3
(Neat video btw. <3 Informative, confirms some of my suspicions! Will steal pinout. >:3)
@Neothetaa Oh, was also considering such but I didn't find any servers that felt/sounded neat, so I decided to just follow the mass (based on the number of shared links on other platforms) to Bsky.
@shadowbanenub @RueNahcMohr@QuaternionG This thought also crossed my mind. Though, perhaps it might be possible to sense the current from the existing panel to try to do similar detection? (not sure how tiny current fluctuations though). But swapping the "detect light" to "detect current anomalies" might be viable.
@IllumiCyberwear One might wonder if they are Pear+Licorice-flavoured and Lemon+Raspberry-flavoured~ There's definately some hazard of accidentally eating one.
