in the past with wonky for failing hardware, going into devmgmt and looking up
the details of a device can give you a lot of information, some of which might
be useful.

in my old age i just learned to stay away from cheap hardware.  I wouldn't trust
an usb hub made by some offbrand company.  I've caught stuff in the past when i
would buy junk off newegg.
