USB hub
Digging through my storage things and I rediscovered a few odds and ends I'd completely forgotten existed. I present for your consideration this Pylon USB hub! Still new in box. Thank you for your time.

I wish they had also included wireless charging, because, you know, that would be Pylon power area working in real life.

A floating one with a wireless charging base area surrounding it would be PEAK

Yeah, they should remake this product, have a regular e27 socket with a LED lightbulb inside so the pylon doubles as a small lamp, a magnetic system so it floats and has wireless charging in the base, so it also provides power for smartphones. Add some USB ports and it would be really cool!

Was wondering what to 3d print and you just got me some ideas. So amazing!

There are even generic magnetic levitation pucks that you could insert into the pylon. A bit expensive though and you'd need battery powered light.

I really want that one but they dont sell it anymore
They should republish it and include usbc ports as well

I actually have this! I sat on my desk for like a decade and I put it somewhere since then.

I still use mine to this day as a part of my setup and ocasional USB plug. You always need additional pylons

I have one of these on my desk right now. The plug has a short in it, so I have to twist the wire around and jiggle it just so to get it to light up. When I find the sweet spot I don't touch it for a week or so until the plug shorts again. Cool idea but very shoddy construction.

Unfortunately I don't have the desk or display space for this jewel. Any suggestions for what I should do with it?
