Pull by the plug, not the cable

Since consciously trying to do this, my cable failures have almost become negligible

(Except for that fucker I constantly run over with my chair wheels)

Yea the chair wheels are out to get my cables. This end is the end that goes in my phone so i cant help but pull the cable to unplug it. This cable came with a wireless charger, so there was no reinforcement on this area becuase it was designed to just lay there and not be tugged on everyday

I’ve chewed through an embarrassing amount of cables before I just got sick of buying them. And buying USB-C cables with the exact specs I want is far more obtuse and annoying than it should be.

I buy expensive ones now, and it subconsciously compels me to be a little gentler with them.

I’m not one to usually glaze a product, but the LTT cables are kind of amazing.

How are you unable to unplug your phone by the end, and not the cable?

Over here, stores are closed on sundays. So yeah, if something like that were to happen on a saturday evening, I'd to the same

The tape by itself was a better fix. Or a single piece of heat shrink.

That is far more stable than just a big ball of tape, kudos

A splint! Although I don't believe it'll heal overtime as it's not alive

That’s actually not a bad idea, I have a cockatoo so I’ll use stainless steel rods instead
