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…
DisplayPort…
VGA…
DVI-D…
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.
