Best USB-C Hub in 2022

USB-C greatly simplified how we connect everything to a computer. A monitor, keyboard, mouse, Ethernet, external storage, microSD and SD cards and more can all be connected through a USB-C port. Of course, connecting all of those things at the same time through one USB-C port requires a little help from a USB-C hub or dock. There are a lot to choose from, and this list has the best USB-C hubs that we’ve tested.

For those who want a simple travel dock, the best USB-C hub is the EZQuest USB-C Multimedia 8-port Hub. There are less expensive options, but the EZQuest combines an excellent assortment of ports, durability for travel and reliability over several months of testing. It even has labels on the top to get you connected even faster. EZQuest makes several other USB-C hubs including a 13-in-one option also on this list. However, if a more robust dock with Thunderbolt support is necessary, the best we’ve tested right now is the Accell Thunderbolt 4 Docking Station thanks for an attractive low-profile design and well-rounded port assortment, and it does not get hot when put to full use.

Narrowing down your options and finding the best USB-C hub comes down to knowing how portable you need it to be, your desired data transfer speed and exactly which connections you need. Here are some of our favorite USB-C docking stations that we’ve tested. We’ll continue to update this list as we find new USB hubs and

Color Psychology: The Power of Color on Your Mood and Mental Health

You may have heard of the term feng shui, a traditional Chinese practice of arranging your home’s furniture and decor to promote harmony, balance and peace. The way you decorate your home can have a positive or negative impact on your mood. It turns out the same goes for the color of your paint. While we commonly just look at paint colors as a design choice, hues and shades have the power to influence feelings that directly impacts our mood. There’s a good reason why you may be attracted to certain colors more than others.

Minnesota State University conducted a study with 30 first-year college students to demonstrate the effect of red room colors on stress levels compared to green room colors. The results showed that when placed in a red room, participants reported higher feelings of stress than those who spent their time in the green and white rooms.

According to WebMD, green can boost positive emotions and weaken negative ones. White also seems to have a similar effect. On the other hand, red is linked to failure and danger, provoking more negative emotions. Considering we spend so much time in the bedroom, utilizing the power of paint color in this space can be beneficial for your emotional well-being, sleep and overall mental health.

Here are the best (and not so great) paint colors to use in your home.

First Evidence of Orcas Hunting and Eating Great White Sharks Seen in Drone Footage

Frequent readers of CNET Science will remember Port and Starboard, the duo of killer whales from a story we published in June, which detailed research showing great white sharks were being hunted by the whales off the coast of South Africa. New aerial footage, released on Monday, shows one member of the murderous pair — Starboard — actually making a kill.

The footage was released on YouTube as part of a new study, led by Alison Towner, published on Oct. 3 in the journal Ecology. Towner also led the earlier study which used tracking and sensor data to show the great white sightings had plummeted as the killer whales moved in. The researchers hypothesized, from evidence found on shark carcasses, that killer whales were hunting the great whites and any surviving sharks had quite literally been scared away from the area.

The new aerial footage, captured by a private drone operator and a helicopter pilot’s Samsung S21, seems to confirm this and is the first direct evidence of orcas killing and eating great white sharks. It was captured in May at Mossel Bay, South Africa, and some footage had previously been released via the Discovery Channel.

“This behavior has never been witnessed in detail before, and certainly never from the air,” said Towner, who works as a senior shark scientist at Marine Dynamics Academy in Gansbaai, South Africa.

The photographs and video show some interesting maneuvers — the researchers believe the whales are potentially homing in on the

FTX says ‘unauthorized transactions’ drained millions from the exchange

FTX moved users’ funds to offline wallets early Saturday morning after a wave of “unauthorized transactions” drained hundreds of millions of dollars from the beleaguered cryptocurrency exchange. Ryne Miller, the general counsel at FTX US, didn’t confirm a hack, but said on Twitter that the company made the move to “mitigate damage” caused by the potential theft, as transferring funds offline, or to “cold storage,” helps prevent outsiders from gaining access to them.

FTX’s new CEO John Ray, who took the place of company founder Sam Bankman-Fried following his resignation on Friday, issued a statement through Miller’s Twitter account on Saturday afternoon. “We are in the process of removing trading and withdrawal functionality and moving as many digital assets as can be identified to a new cold wallet custodian,” Ray says. “As widely reported, unauthorized access to certain assets has occurred.” He adds that FTX is in contact with law enforcement and “relevant regulators” to address the situation.

“FTX has been hacked. All funds seem to be gone,” an admin on FTX’s official Telegram channel writes, while also instructing users to delete FTX’s apps and warning against going on the platform’s websites due to the presence of malware. FTX.com and FTX.us are currently down at this time of writing.

Some users on Twitter speculate whether a member of Bankman-Fried’s inner circle drained the exchange’s funds, with crypto sleuth ZachXBT stating “multiple former FTX employees confirmed to me they do not recognize these transfers.” Nick Percoco, the CEO of the
