That’s such an absolute hacker feeling, I was honestly surprised I got it to work, back then. Thanks for reminding me of that!
LOL. Outside of computer dorks what not, it's not very common for people to have a large selection of cables to go digging through. Maybe a drawer full of decrypt USB cables that came as chargers to a phone, but most people I know lose those cables and are constantly buying replacements. So expecting the average person to have a box full of random cables suggests to me you might be living in a bit of a bubble.
hell, even homeless people such as myself tend to have giant collections of random cables, even when they don’t actually have anything that requires charging.
