I have a x1 carbon gen 9. Be very careful with the USB-C ports. I leave mine on my desk and my hub kept cutting in and out while using it and its gotten worse over time. I’ve seen others with similar issues and it seems like the fix is to solder on a new port. Its a work laptop so I just deal with it.

This happens on my Pixel as well. I forget which launcher I use but I keep the icon on my homescreen so I can just hold it to get the app info and force stop it.

Do they support port forwarding?
