Comparison of $4,000 boutique audio cable to $7 Amazon Basics cable shows audiophiles waste a lot of money — scientific audio equipment analysis with analyzer shows no difference in quality

‘Black Pearl solid silver conductors drawn in diamond coated dies and insulated with virgin FEP dielectric’ doesn’t help.

Audio Science Review - $4000 Audio Cable vs $7!!! on YT

I really wish adding USB extension cords and switches wasn't such a gamble. Even after you double check all the cables and switches involved use the right dataspeed and power, the setup as a whole might not work for whatever reason.

Latest problem: I got a short USB4 extension cord. After installing it, the devices I have plugged into a USB3 hub no longer connect. Oddly though the hub itself registers on my Mac, but nothing plugged into it. #usb #usbc #cables #tech

Microsoft expects to commercialize MicroLED datacenter cables by late 2027 — expands Hollow Core Fiber deployment, promising 47% faster data transmission and approximately 33% lower latency

The MOSAIC system replaces lasers with cheap MicroLEDs and medical-grade imaging fiber.

There's an unholy, shambling Mouse King on the floor of my vintage computer room.

This is the weirdest cable I own. It's a retractable USB-C 60W cable with Lightning and USB-A adapters attached. I don't know what its data speed; it might be power only.

The max wattage reduces depending on which adapters you have attached.

I have kept it in my bag as backup charger for a few years. I think I've needed to use it maybe twice.

I've spent like 12 hours this week reorganizing my desk cables. I've made a lot of improvements, cleared room, and added some devices: a new 2 to 1 hdmi switch (expanding a 4 to 1 hdmi switch); a USB4 hub; and a USB-C optical drive.

I'm now able to have both my laptops plugged into everything via just one cable for each. I just toggle a couple of switches to alternate.

I have a few things left to do, but I can't wait to show it off. 🤓
