The one overflowing with a tangled mess of defunct micro-USB, mystery Lightning cables, and a dozen black rubber spaghetti strands that might be USB-C? Yeah, I have one too. Actually, scratch that.

Last month, while preparing for a critical demo for a potential B2B tech services client – showcasing a new SaaS solution that relied heavily on fast data transfer for real-time data analytics – my perfectly fine-looking USB-C cable decided to die mid-transfer.
