I have a whole drawer full of cables that have never been unwrapped. It's worse than when I had a drawer full of holsters.

Not Apple cables though. Nuts to that.

I have quite a collection of cables also. From audio and video to a crap ton of USBs, Mini-USBs, Lightning, etc. I don't have as many wall warts.

Don't even ask about how many holsters I have laying around. I have a couple that go back to the early 80's.

I miss the old days when battery powered products would have a plug that's intended to work as a charger. Remember those plugs? They were round and the tip was positive and the proximal side was negative? Remember how they worked? Like, they just worked?

Now everything uses some form of a USB connector to charge. Things that don't need USB connection. They're just using USB as a charger, not data. And it's unreliable as hell. I hate plugging something in and coming back later and it's not charged because, USB connector. I can't believe they would do me like that.

Throwback to when Mike157 Mike157 almost died from exposure to the elements, blizzard warnings, snow hikes, hand sanding, grinding, and desert ironwood dust. Almost three years ago, now…

Near death experiences can be enlightening 😊. The best of times though. All that gear was just so I could visit Matt. Mike

Or when the dead device would work when plugged in, instead of having to wait for the batteries to achieve a minimal charge first.
