Hmm, I'm too cheap to buy some microUSB cables (all the ones here broke), and was thinking I'd go snag them out of the e-waste bins, but then I suppose those cables are so terrible, none will be in the e-waste bins.

I don't think I've ever had cables of any type break with greater regularity than microUSB.

@ai6yr This is among my prized possessions lol, got it from a vendor back in the day. I had to cut the all in wonder lightning adapter off when it started to swell.

@ai6yr @larrybiggs I'm curious about this too!
It's not like it had a battery in it... All I can think of would be a crappy capacitor maybe leaking or something? It wasn't even a data connection, so shouldn't have had a chip though, right? (There are only two wires there.)

@nazokiyoubinbou @ai6yr @coolcalmcollected @vandorb12 sorry for the delay, here it is and it was hot when it got the snip lol (photo of cut off tip with a discolored bulge in the plastic of the adapter tip)

@jlamoree Ha ha ha! USB WEIRD
Yeah, sure, could use at least two or three microUSB cables if you have spares! I can bicycle over there sometime.

@larrybiggs @nazokiyoubinbou @coolcalmcollected @vandorb12 Oooh, there's most certainly components in there... Wonder what that is all about.

@ai6yr @nazokiyoubinbou @coolcalmcollected @vandorb12 This is the best I can do with my hatchet and hammer lol (photo of black burnt material under the bump)
