@foone It means the last USB device you connected _somewhere_ _at some moment_. Like plugging in a phone charger on your home. That's the device that malfunctioned.

@foone It's a passive aggressive hint to plug in a USB device. Any USB device will do.

@foone no devices hanging off USB internally?I have seen webcams, card readers and even audio implemented like this.

@foone > there are no USB devices connectedTBF, that is a pretty good reason for the USB device to malfunction, if it's not connected

@foone There is one constant for 30+ years: hibernate, suspend rarely works, or works for long, on any windows pc. Ive just proved this again with a handful of brand new win11 MSI laptops I had to buy- within 3-4 days, each was freaking out at sus/hib. Often pretending to hib, then coming back 2 hours later in the middle of the night shit no matter what.powercfg.exe /hibernate off then delete that big chunk of crap eating up gigs on your drive, lol. Just kill it.

I have been using laptops since the 90sand the only one of them I've ever trusted to successfully go to sleep and wake back up, let alone hibernate, was my ibook g3 running os x 10.3

@foone It's made for people who already know exactly what they're looking for.I've noticed there's a real tendency to "log everything" in modern software. So I get *my* log entries inter-mingled with the framework logging. Most unpleasant. I remember when software didn't do that.

@foone I was going to say, but didnt want to as Im not a mac person but have worked with them -- yeah some macs can be more reliable with sus and hib unfortunately. Makes sense of course- purpose built hw/os combo produced by 1 vendor.

@foone theres a great tool called UsbTreeViewer by Uwe Sieber that displays a hierarchical structure of all your USB devices and might help you figure out which port is the culprit, it replacing the cable doesn't work.here's a link:https://www.uwe-sieber.de/usbtreeview_e.html

@foone I had about 100+ of these docks in my hand at work. That's a pretty typical failure point. I'm really unhappy with Dell hardware...XPS 13 laptops (the model from 3 or 4 years ago) randomly dying. (Next to the Apple M1 MacBooks that also like to die randomly . x.x)

@foone My dumb solution would just be to plugin some devices that do work. I'd bet no-one coded "The second to last USB device..." etc so it'd go away at some point 😂

@foone c...could... you add a trigger warning before you mention Windows Event Viewer. Now I got the chills
