    "My favorite thing is when the system just starts kicking
    devices off. It's like the computer's hosting a house party
    and way too many people start showing up, until the host just
    loses their shit and starts throwing people out. "I said you
    could bring a plus one, not a plus thirty-one, get out!"

    "Seriously, how does Linus NOT know that the simple act of
    opening Task manager pegs most CPUs at 100% for a couple
    seconds."

    On this mini PC I have one hub with 6 devices plugged in, with the
    hub plugged into another hub with 7/10 slots filled, going to
    a type C connector on the PC. And one USB-to-headphone converter
    in the back for my main sound system. So about 14 devices.

    Not enough to need a USB-inator :-)

    So how many volumes was Windows able to mount at once?

    <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hiwaxlttWow&t=1247>

    Linus: rCLHow many total drives did you say that you can handle?rCY
    Colleague: rCLAs many as there are letters in the alphabet. But really
    the problem is when a whole bunch of them connect at the same
    time, then Windows tries ... to give the drive letter to multiple
    drives at once.rCY

    <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hiwaxlttWow&t=1388>

    Linus: rCLI wonder if this is more of a driver-level limit?rCY

    <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hiwaxlttWow&t=1421>

    Linus: rCLWhile IrCYm disappointed that we couldnrCOt get to 127 concurrent
    devices ...rCY

    Why do I get this feeling you didnrCOt actually watch the video yourself
    before posting?
