You do if you want to take the power from two ports to power just one thing.

I have one of those cables for something, and it makes me happy that, as a consequence, my 4-port hub is fully populated despite only having 3 devices in it.

PS. Technically it's probably OCPD rather than OCD.

the fact you had the write that means you have both :)

What annoys me, in a tedious, geeky way, is that the two cables that I own that do that, although they look identical, only seem to work with the device they were supplied with. USB2 standard, my arse.

you dont need that, just buy a fucking Dell Vostro desktop PC

By the time you hook up the Keyboard, Mouse, Printer, and USB-Powered speakers, there's not a damned port left on the back.

I can tell by your tone of voice...

...that you might have a 'fucking Dell Vostro desktop PC' that you're none too pleased with. Am I right???!!!

That became a safe assumption...

when he said the word "Dell".
