  I thought that this was decent video on a product that I see much griping about here on HN: KVM switches. There are hundreds of bad KVM switches, but this one is created by a knowledgeable YouTuber who understands that (flawed) USB and DisplayPort specs, has put in the work to resolve them, and is going after companies like Samsung and Logitech to fix bugs in their display and device drivers.

  The KVM switches can be purchased here: https://www.store.level1techs.com/products/hardware

  I've submitted the Linus Tech Tips video because it is a better overview and it discusses the problems in the specs. The following videos from the Level1Techs are a little older, less comprehensive, and are more incremental ("here's an update to our KVM!") in nature.
