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

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

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

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

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.

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