ARGHHH, DON'T DO THAT!!!

If you switch your tablet into host mode while it's being connected to another host (e.g. your PC) you'll connect both USB ports power supplys! This may very well damage your tablets USB port. Just think a minute about the fact that both devices are e.g. able to power a USB memory stick if in host mode. This means both provide power to the USB. And you are connecting two of them them!

There's a reason why the USB guys invented all those different connectors: Some things should not be directly connected. By using tools like usb-control you can circumvent these protections and connect things using operation modes that aren't meant to be used that way.

That's also the reason why i hate these Micro-USB-A-to-standard-A cables. They don't make sense and can also be used to connect both machines in host mode. These cables just shouldn't exist ...

Please be careful with these tools since as you can do things that aren't meant to be done.
