I don’t understand how people need help making a cable like that. AFAIK It’s a length of 3 wires wrapped in insulation, and two plugs. It’s a hell of a lot simpler than ethernet.

Some older things might genuinely need that kind of cable, like a leaf blower or something

When things require this type of cable, get rid of those things.

Definitely agree. I don’t fuck with janky power tools.

The thing is if someone doesn’t know how to make one of these, they definitely don’t know why it’s a bad idea.

You underestimate the sheer stupidity and lack of education of the majority of the American public.

Fair point; i haven’t worked with the general public since pre-covid. I don’t miss it.

People voted for trump. Clearly there are plenty that don’t see why this is a bad idea.

Create post

For things that are “hmmm”.

Rule 1: All post titles except for meta posts should be just plain “hmmm” and nothing else, no emotes, no capitalisation, no extending it to “hmmmm” etc.
