Does a phone stand exist with USB 3.2?
Backstory (tl;dr easily switch between my computer and phone (android desktop mode) with the push of a button).
I have the button, but the USB the cables seems to need to be juuuuust right for desktop mode to kick in.
The plan is to affix a USBC phone stand to my desk that I can just plunk the phone in there without fiddling with the cables every time. I tried the MCON Dock but the USB is apparently charge only.
Any products out there anyone is aware of?

Suggestions for an SBC (or other kind of mini PC) that can connect to a USB-C dock?
My company enacted a strict "no personal use" policy for company hardware. I have my boss's blessing to use a personal machine but at the same time I don't want to make it obvious to everyone when I'm doing personal tasks, so the plan is to get a USB-C switch connected to the docking station and a micro-PC tucked under my desk I can quickly switch to.
Any suggestions for mini hardware that only needs a USB-C connection? It does not need to be powerful, since I'm really going to be using it as a web browser.
