One of the problems we had in our house was use. My wife likes to sit with her phone vertically resting on her while she lounges. That caused the cables to wear out quickly. We purchased right angle cables and it seemed to help a lot.

And here I am sitting on around 12 samsungs USB-C cables that just shipped with various devices … and never ever has a single one worn out or broken.

There is a buy it for life community. I’d try there.

There’s also !buyitforlife@slrpnk.net.

!askelectronics@discuss.tchncs.de

!electronics@discuss.tchncs.de

Etc. any community is fine, Lemmy is small enough that everybody will see it anyway

I just buy in bulk.

Either here or nostupidquestions if you just want a generic questions community or you might have luck in one of the technology communities.

Also if you want a decent cable you need one that is rated for higher power like +25w, as it will be higher quality to handle the higher voltage/current.

Ask Lemmy is not the appropriate place to ask Lemmy about Lemmy specific enquiries the proper place is Ask Lemmy About Lemmy where you can ask Lemmy questions about Lemmy and they will be answered. Ask Lemmy will not answer anything you ask Ask Lemmy about Lemmy and will only answer what you ask Lemmy that is not about Lemmy so try to only ask Lemmy about Lemmy on Ask Lemmy about Lemmy and not ask on Ask Lemmy. Thanks.

Do you happen to be a Cat or Dog that consumes cables as if they are food? 🤔
