USB-C looks simple but in reality, it’s not.
The BLE caberQU checks what a cable can actually handle. It measures the maximum data speed and charging power (up to 240W), evaluates overall cable health and verifies which USB standards are really supported.

It also reads the cable’s internal e-Marker chip, analyzes pin connections and measures electrical resistance to detect hidden limitations.

GHUL update – frontend work in progress 🧪📊

Right now I’m developing the GHULbenchmark GUI locally on my own machine.
The focus is not “pretty graphs”, but measurement correctness.

The visualizer already detects sensor glitches (they always happen),
marks them as outliers, and filters them out for calculations and analysis –
so averages, peaks and ratings stay meaningful.

This is slowly turning into a real measurement lab instead of a gaming dashboard.
First impression attached. More to come.

Why “Aging” Makes Switches Reliable
We burn-in switches at 50℃±5℃ to catch early flaws & ensure they endure real-world heat—before they reach you. No weak links, just lasting performance. 🌡️⚙️

Tested Next.js native deps on riscv64 hardware (Banana Pi F3). Results:

✅ Sharp WASM: Production-ready (604ms resize 1920×1080, zero crashes)
❌ Prisma: Broken (WASM parser bug, no fix)

Hardware testing beats speculation. 2,400+ lines of docs updated with real numbers.
