    Hi, I have a 2023 MacBook Pro I keep upto date (so it's Sequoia now), and I use a USB hub that has a USBA 2.4Ghz mouse received, USBA RGB keyboard, and HDMI to monitor plugged in most of the time. I usually charge with magsafe separately. Question: Any idea why the USB hub is hot, and the...

Unfortunately a return is not possible due to the damaged package, so I thought since there's the Device Firmware Update mode which is...
