   As we approach the end of the year, wouldn't now be a good time to FINALLY DUMP THAT BOX OF OLD CABLES AND CHARGERS THAT YOU'VE BEEN HOLDING ON TO FOR TEN YEARS "JUST IN CASE" ?!?!?

   It's ok. You can let them go now. You're going to be fine.

     If I throw away all the odd cables and connectors, I will need one of them the next day.

     No. That's how you guarantee you'll need them.
     Also, I'm the weirdo who likes using old tech

     @Mrfunkedude unfortuantely, that box let go by itself. I can't find it anymore, but really need it. There is an usb-mini cable in that box that I really need right now.

     @Mrfunkedude I keep my spare chargers around because I have a hobby that very occasionally makes use of one. 😂

     Sometimes it's fun being an amateur electrical engineer in need of a standalone 5V or 12V supply, and wouldn't you know, random wall-powered DC gadgets come with those!
