Docks on the left side, or similar devices which provide both power and send data, seem to be particularly problematic. On advice of my employer's IT department I went from "spinning up new VMs in VirtualBox reliably leads to thermal excess, CPU throttling, and total system shutdown" to a system that actually works -- just by moving the dock connection to the right side.
It's a little funny because the advice used to be you should use the left-side USB-C ports first because they were faster (both for data and charge, IIRC?)
- sdoering 6y agoWhat? I have to test this. I have my 4k monitor also providing power. Being a lefty I always plug it into the left side. Need to test this. Thanks for the information.
