Are USB-C Hubs Killing M1 MacBooks?

Over the last few months, there have been some M1 Mac users report that USB-C hubs have been killing and bricking their M1 Macs. Specifically, it seems to be the pass-through charging or power delivery (PD) feature.

In this video I explore this topic in more depth and provide some possible explanations. I also discuss steps you should take to avoid this and what Apple is doing about it.

If you are thinking of buying a hub, here are two that I recommend and have tested myself:
Anker USB-C Hub: https://geni.us/machub
Caldigit Thunderbolt 3 Dock: https://geni.us/thunderboltdock
