I had a FUCK of a time a couple weeks ago, oh my GAWD. I wanted a less insanely heavy-duty cable to connect my portable monitor to a temporary computer setup because the monitor was light, making it awkward. I looked through my Everyday Cable Drawer with no success. I’ve got a few routed around my displays in my house, but those are all bundled up and cable-managed.
So I go to my backup drawer, with assorted cables.
DisplayPort…
DisplayPort…
VGA…
DVI-D…
DVI-D…
DisplayPort…
HDMI… EXTENDER. Thick as shit.
It took me going to the Old Console Drawer and finding my bag of Switch accessories to find a Switch HDMI cable! I am completely out of HDMI backup cables that aren’t insanely heavy duty.
Bahahaha I actually used my extender… extensively! I got it to enlongify my VR Kit’s cables so I could have drunk ass friends over and play VR games without worrying about them destroying the kit or the computer. VR has been shelved for a while but I just finished my VR machine so I’m busting that thick ass HDMI extender right back out!
Also I think unicorns pass the Harkness test, so I’m down. I’ll have to get another extender if that happens, though.

The number of times I’ve needed a HDMI extender = the number of times I’ve been blown by a unicorn
The number of HDMI extenders in my box > the number of times I’ve been blown by a unicorn
