It was time so I really threw out tons of cables nobody will ever need again and of the rest I kept one or at most two.
Today the obvious happened. One of those cables nobody ever needs again? Well I need one. So I have to buy one for way too much money. Never again, I’ll hoard all the cables from now on and become a Copper Dragon.
I just had the opposite happen.
I needed to get an analog audio signal out from an old PS3, but it has an odd proprietary connector.
How a converter cable for that ended in my cable bin Ill never know, but the purpose of the bin has been vindicated for at least a decade.
