Comment on How many USB hubs can you daisy-chain to a single port?
Shurimal@kbin.social 11 months agoObviously somewhere along there were some hubs that weren’t obvious to the naked eye.
Probably the port on your laptop was on a hub built onto the mobo. If my understanding is right that's how USB ports usually are connected: controller->hub->ports. If you open up device manager and go to USB controllers you'll see several root hubs and hubs even when you have no external hubs or docks connected.
