buying better cables... duct tape... insulation tape... not getting sucked into this whole "woo mobile devices" bullshit and getting a desktop computer where only the mouse cable has to be durable oh yes, and buy cables with braided nylon, that's a good start

the only thing tougher than braided nylon cables is kevlar cables and then it really depends on whether the wires are made out of super fine braids that can handle kinks or whether the braiding is stiff and backed by a good polyurethane backing that reduces kink angle for sure, the typical shit like in the photo is usually low grade PVC and that shit wears out in a couple months of mobile use
😂 how the hell did that happen, ..
i've seen this shit more times than i can remember, these are shitty thin vinyl garbage cables from chongwor
My usbC ports always die way before the cable does. usbC is garbage
well, it was no different with micro... and it's quite ridiculous that the simple blade contacts of apple and lightning have not become the norm i mean, that's what's inside a standard USB-A anyway! which is only gay because it's one directional (the endless flip flop oh, this way, oh that way, oh, no it was this way)
Ya micro was bad too
