I knew that those cables were shady, but this result was actually surprising. It really went out with full fireworks.

The recyclable made in Germany USB cable was tested in c/buyeuropean@feddit.uk

I have one of those splitters, and now I'm afraid to use them. Any recommendations for alternatives?

I have one of those shown and never knew that they can make my devices go boom...

Any other things that may cause a surprise bonfire in my cable drawer?
