Actually, pulled out the box last weekend and found an iPhone charge cable that a friend's daughter needed.
This vindication means the box will only get bigger, and possibly multiply.😁

When is the last time you checked on your giant box of cables and connectors for devices that you no longer own or no longer exist?

No no no, USB C was all about one *connector* to replace them all, and at least 4/5 defined specs for the different class cables between said connectors.
USB-C:
🚀 we created one cable to replace all!
🤖 oh ya each cable charges at a different speed, and others do data, there's also thunderbolt! and don't forget video...
⁉️ tell them apart? no they all look exactly the same! even your computer can't tell you the difference! isn't that great!

It's show and tell time!
Men: Like this post if you have box(es) of Emotional Support Cables
(bonus points: share a picture! And not just the organized box with everything all sorted, but the messy one with cables for devices people using 20 years ago or countries you don't live in, too)

Oh absolutely not. Just to be clear, in case anyone ever sees such a cable - this is a very dangerous thing to do.
The safety rating of your handheld DMM, and therefore *your* safety, rely on the fact there is no path to ground.
A cable like this cab provide such a path, and *could* be lethal.

Elon Musk takes aim at Wikipedia
Musk has denounced Wikipedia as "Wokepedia" on X and urged people not to donate to the platform.

*hundreds* of looms?!
Wow. This...this is so unbelievably bad.
I would question "professional" as a descriptor - with no signs of correct crimp tooling being used here...!

Imagine delivering this as a professional EMS. Not a prototype but hundreds of units.

You can tell that Jumperless has been a labour of love for Kevin.

Love the cable strain relief slots.
Some new PCBs for Vectrex projects. An adapter to let you connect an ATARI StarWars arcade game controller, some game cart pcbs in white and some little boards to make joystick port connectors.
