why is it such a pain in the ass to find a usb 3.0 webcam for relatively cheap
usb 2.0 does not work. I need to be able to connect >3 usb cameras to something. the device I am using does not have enough usb controllers, so I need a usb 3.0 device because the usb 2.0 bus is saturated.
all these fucking webcams put "usb 3.0 *compatible*" (read: uses usb 2.0 (usb 2.0 is compatible with a usb 3.0 host (this is how usb works)))
