VGA stopped working after 4 months

All connections work fine except for the VGA connection. The walk to charge my Macbook is ridiculous. In 3 hours my charge increased by 5%.

Power transmission does not work, external display failed after 6 weeks, customer service disappointing

Despite the product name, the pass-through power delivery doesn't work with Dell XPS 13.

I contacted them about both issues and they simply stated that my computer is not supported (although this was not made clear in their Revain ad and the customer service is disappointing. However, they will send me a replacement once I give them the defective one send at my expense…

Pleasant but annoying noise

I use one of these for long trips, mainly for HDMI and USB connections. It works as expected with no issues, but consistently emits high-frequency static noise. When working in quiet environments, the noise is very annoying. The noise isn't very loud, so not a problem when working in large groups or in noisy environments, but it gets on my nerves pretty quickly in a quiet office. How does it even make noise? Are there no speakers or moving parts? I'm tempted to open it to find out the source of
