Wondering if anyone else has noticed an unfamiliar Menu Bar item that appeared after I updated to Ventura (see attached screenshot). Seems to be USB-related but not sure what it's supposed to do, or why I have two sets of identical commands under it. I don't have any USB cards in my Hackintosh; the USB ports I'm using are all on my mobo.

I have this menu bar item too, I've had the same USBMap kext since Big Sur and this icon only appeared after installing Ventura. If I click "power off card" the system immediately crashes/reboots.

Wow.. dangerous stuff. I clicked "power off card" as a test but nothing seemed to happen... all of my external USB devices and hard drives kept working fine.

I see this too. Showed up in Ventura, no other config changes.

This is not new to Ventura but has been around for years.

Does what it says but not necessarily predictably on a Hackintosh.

It can relate to hot-plugging and dismounting devices such as card readers.

Must admit I don't see it based on my dsdt.

Here's my USB port mapping, haven't changed since Big Sur. I'm gonna try changing a few things and report back.
"Internal" is for the USB2 header that connects the Fenvi T919, it reports a USB2.0 Hub because both internal USB2 headers share HS11 but nothing is plugged into the second port. Planning to manually disable each port until it goes away and go from there.
