Every once in a blue moon the USB extension cord (which i have connected to a 7 port usb hub and is powered too) drops out and then i have to do the back-breaking horrendous task of leaning over and grabbing where the extension cord and the cord for the hub connect and carefully pull them apart gently and then re-join them.
I bought one of the things you see in the pic pretty cheap... but when it arrived i found out it only works with power (like turning on and off my little USB powered desk lamp that's plugged in)... it does nothing for data (ie. my wireless keyboard, mouse, bluetooth dongle etc.) Do any of you lovely nerds know if you can get a simple thing like this that also switches on and off the data flow because that would just makes things so much easier? Thanks.
