So i tried to connect steamdeck to pc using usb and i read its immpossible because steamdeck is a computer and some explanation on quora about strong master slave relationship. But then why is it possible for android phones to connect to pc whilist also having the ability to use USB and other usb c accesories. Also why cant it be a toggle? So that you can change whetewer this usb( or device ) is reciving data ot sending data .
Universal Serial Bus.
Serial communication between two hosts requires either robust auto negotiation or a crossover cable.
Usb doesn’t have good auto negotiation between two hosts so you gotta use a crossover cable.
heres one
But… there’s no guarantee that the computers usb controllers and operating systems will support it.
Most modern NICs will auto negotiate now so the cross over cable is no longer needed.
Yeah but like if instead of usb it was a db9 you’d need the tx and rx crossed over.
That was called a uh null modem back in the day
I was not aware of this!
Would be nice to have a date on that statement in the product description. Seems to be outdated?
Oh no, they say right there that it will not let two computers connect to each other lol.
