alt Hacker NewsI have a couple like that in my mini rack. The problem is the power supply: these take 65W, so I figured I could get a quality 140W charger and power them both, but it turns out that things like "unplugging something else" would kill their power. I had to spend a lot more on a StarTech charger to get the performance I needed

Which startech product did you end up getting? One of the hubs or chargers? I have a similar issue with various USB-C rack devices

Yeah, it's due to power renegotiation.
It wants to supply the maximum power possible as you don't want a device which can charge faster stuck at a lower rate, so it wants to renegotiate with the sink, and the lazy way to do that is a full reset.
