Comment on Not sure where to ask this but why do some wall powered usb-c hubs refuse the charge anything until they are plugged into a computer?

  Becase some devices require a signal on their comm pins to negotiate the correct voltage to charge the device.

  Whats weird is that my usb c wall powered hub will charge devices on its own if I plug it into a computer (or sometimes an android phone) first and then unplug it and plug it into the device I want to charge

    Apple, Samsung, all the Chinese phone brands with their proprietary fast charging standards, HP, Bambu Lab, Nintendo, Xbox, Microsoft, Google, Adobe, etc. etc.

    There’s a lot of terrible companies, actually.
