TIL I should follow my own advice more often, specifically:
"I have had intermittent issues with boards when connected by a USB hub or one of those USB-A to micro or USB-C adapters. If you have problems, connect with a known good USB cable directly to the host computer."
I still want to know why this is the case! Is there firmware in a hub, or is it just power management and switches? I have `dmesg` logs if anyone cares. 😉
