    I don’t understand how people need help making a cable like that. AFAIK It’s a length of 3 wires wrapped in insulation, and two plugs. It’s a hell of a lot simpler than ethernet.

    Some older things might genuinely need that kind of cable, like a leaf blower or something

      You underestimate the sheer stupidity and lack of education of the majority of the American public.

        Fair point; i haven’t worked with the general public since pre-covid. I don’t miss it.

      The thing is if someone doesn’t know how to make one of these, they definitely don’t know why it’s a bad idea.
