I'd love a list of the materials the author is using for their standard work stations. I'm particularly curious about the "inline power adapters". I see in one of the pictures each one has a little black brick. Looks like maybe a USB hub or something? The Raspberry Pi 400 already has 3 USB ports.

I'm speaking as a daily Raspberry Pi 400 user. I've tried one of those USB hub things with power pass-through that I use for my Mac Book Pro, but it didn't work with my RPi400.

Always up for hardware tips for improving my Pi situation.



I bought a little raspberry pi kit off amazon the other day to run retropi on. It came with a usb-c wall wart and a little usbc-usbc adapter with a power button on it. It looks like the one i'm seeing in the plastic bag in the picture.

Oh, maybe it's an HDMI to VGA adapter?
