Here I am, literally waiting for delivery of a USB-C to Mini-USB cable that I thought I would never need and got rid of six months ago.

Turns out the little external DVD player I keep around if I ever need to watch a DVD requires it. 🤦🏻‍♂️

Beginner move, you go through the box, check all cables, and do one of two things:

1. Get rid of all duplicates but keep one of each type of cable.

2. Catalog and label all cables in the box, make a list of all cables including their numbers. List all known devices that use them, index their usefullness based on how many devices you know use them and how long ago it was that you needed them. The more usefull the cable the more copies you keep, but you allways keep one type.

Just happened to me yesterday. I needed a 12v power adapter to trigger cable, but I had thrown out the previous one thinking I would never use it.

There's a tool sharing program in my neighborhood. You pay like $20 a year for access, and come by, borrow a tool/leave a tool. It's great as people leave lots of big tools sitting around doing nothing.

I want that for computer parts and wires.

Lets pool our ps/2 keyboard adapters and VGA cords together!

I've got 3 boxes. One for power cables, one for signal cables (ethernet, phone, RCA cables, coaxial) and one for usb cables and power adapters.

They're tote sized and I'm going to need even bigger boxes soon. No way I'm ever getting rid of them.

You never know where you'll be when you need a mini-B usb to 30 pin apple sync cable.

Been there, done that...tossed the hd with crypto....

I’m sure I’ll never need all 4 of the SCART cables I have, but then maybe I will so I’ll hang onto them just in case.
