No idea how and why but my dad once had a cable like that in his workshop.

Short story: we were having a party, bit drunk and wanted power for the bigger speakers, needed an extension, rummaged around and found this one. Of course didn’t check the ends, plugged it in and then thought “oh what a weird male adapter there, lets take it…bzzzzt”.

Have a tiny burn scar on my hand now, luckily nothing else happened. The cable got dismantled afterwards, but I still don’t know why it was there in the first place, he is a pretty good handyman normally.

the price of beef is insane

Good

Then you have people like my sister: “nooo my nurse friend said the vaccine is the worst, i will never get vaccinated. I live healthy and go outside a lot, that’s much better!”

Edit: i don’t disagree with you at all, just frustrating how even seemingly smart people form so stupid opinions…

This works suprisingly well, thanks for the tip!

Had issues charging my phone lately and tried to clean it out with toothpicks etc to no avail. Used this thingy I also carry in my wallet and hey, works like a charm again

if your running windows you’ll still have to put up with Microsoft

Luckily, there is another choice. Linux runs pretty smooth and has gotten much simpler to use over the years.
