Cleaners broke the HDMI cable from the computer to the PC. Reached into my cable drawer and pulled out two good new ones. It was a very proud moment for me.

One of the perks of working for a tech company on a hybrid schedule. They inventory the issued laptops, but that's about all they have time for. And every once in a while they clean out and let us take stuff home. After 5-ish years, I and the people closest to me will always have monitors, monitor stands, at least one working UPS and all the peripherals, HDMI and Ethernet cables we could ever need.

I had a FUCK of a time a couple weeks ago, oh my GAWD. I wanted a less insanely heavy-duty cable to connect my portable monitor to a temporary computer setup because the monitor was light, making it awkward. I looked through my Everyday Cable Drawer with no success. I’ve got a few routed around my displays in my house, but those are all bundled up and cable-managed.

So I go to my backup drawer, with assorted cables.

DisplayPort…

VGA…

DVI-D…

DisplayPort…

HDMI… EXTENDER. Thick as shit.

It took me going to the Old Console Drawer and finding my bag of Switch accessories to find a Switch HDMI cable! I am completely out of HDMI backup cables that aren’t insanely heavy duty.
