My wife jokes about this a lot but there's been at least 5 times over the past few years where I just happened to have the exact cable required in the box.

I do go through it every so often. I'm not hoarding VGA and DVI cables

Just keeping the one VGA cable which does get some use!

The dinky ones that come with monitors or industrial ones the size of a 30 foot garden hose?

[-] coronach@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 4 months ago

They certainly come in all shapes and sizes. Maybe I should get the latter so it could double as rope.

Do you want the type with five BNCs on one end?

[-] Evotech@lemmy.world 5 points 4 months ago

Yeah I keep a few gens back. But sensible. It fits one drawer :p

Dude, it's a law of the universe: If you throw away something, you will desperately need it soon after. Everybody knows that.
