Usually I put the channel name in the title but I think this one would hit the slur filter.

    I get no joy from saying this but the $5 gas station lightning cable universe would have been a better future for us because lightning was designed to break at the cable in case of stress and required fusible links in the cable ends to prevent fires.

    If a cable manufacturer cheaped out and decided not to provide a 0ohm resistor then the little ic at the end of the cable (required, nothing works without it) functions as a fuse in a pinch.

    Usbc is a great example of doing it wrong because the people who do it right asked to be paid too much and also now own the rights to the concept of doing it right.
