Realest comment here. I have a few drawers full of these kind of toys I used once and forgot about. Right next to my serial cables and bits of wire.
Does anyone have a good use for obsolete cables?
Like, I've got some serial cables, some co-ax, a bunch of old TV cables, some audio cables.
I tell myself I'm keeping them because if I ever need them I'll never be able to (or want to) buy them again. Moreover it feels like such a waste to throw them away.
Maybe a makerspace could make use of them?
Doing so with serial or coax cables seems like an invitation for bits of the plastic sheath breaking off in a few months and polluting the ground around your door though...
