I thought I had every cable, adapter, and dongle under the sun.
A second monitor would be soooo helpful for what I'm about to do for my next deadline.
Family visiting for Christmas is sleeping upstairs in my study, so my multi-monitor setup there doesn't help.
I thought - no problem, I've used Duet before with my same Thinkpad and my old iPad Pro w/ lightning connector, and it has worked perfectly.
However, now I have the iPad Pro with USB-C. Duet is not recognizing it. I searched their FAQ and Getting started - no relevant answer found.
I have these adapters / dongles:
Apple's USB-C to USB-A (female)

USB-C Digital AV Multiport Adapter

However, to plug it into my Thinkpad USB 3 port I needed to find a USB gender changer to go from the USB-A (female) to what I need, USB-A (male).
Net: Still didn't work.
I suspect the gender changer is the problem.
So I looked through my USB-C box to find a single cable that is: USB-A (that is also USB-3) male to USB-C
I don't have that! I thought for sure I would have one.
I do have several that are like:
Apple's USB-C to USB-A (female)
https://www.apple.com/shop/product/...9054559822b4cc307ca4c2c7f6a656254b55f8eae5500
but I can't plug a USB-A female cable into my Thinkpad's USB port. Gah!
Then, I looked on Amazon to find a single cable that is: USB-A (that is also USB-3) male to USB-C
I don't see one. Do you?
