> That works poorly for efficient testing, and it also seems to have worn out the external monitor connection on my personal laptop. I have the same problem. Since Macbook pro 15"/16" run the dGPU 10-20W at idle whenever an external monitor is connected, which thermally throttles the CPU, I have to ration my external monitor usage throughout the day. So now my USB cable/port (I hope it's the cable!) is worn down and the connection arbitrarily drops when plugged in.
