Hackers, I need help: is this feasible?
Let's say I want a hub that have these inputs:
- 2 DisplayPort
- 2 HDMI
- 6 USB-3
- 2 USB-C
And I want this hub to connect to one of 2 computers, so there are 2 outputs: one for "PC 1", and another for "PC 2", and a switch determines which one it goes to.
A schematic description of exactly what the current post describes, all the details are already explained in the thread.

I don't know if it's been made already, but here it is.
An altered version of the XKCD's Compiling strip: Title: "The #1 programmer excuse for legitimately slacking off" We can see a corridor, a door leading to an office on the left, from inside this room, someone is saying "Hey! Get back to work!". Two people are in the corridor, playing with office chairs and swords, and one of them answers "AI is coding". The first person from inside the office answers back "Oh. Carry on."
