Why is every iPhone charger cable not made by Apple a complete piece of shit?
If it works for a week, it's a miracle. I was on the road last week and needed a new cable in the middle of Bumfuck. My only nearby option was to take a chance on a knock-off cable from a 24-hour drug store. To my relief, it worked fine. For two days. Then it just mysteriously stopped charging at all.
I mean, it's just a cable. It's a simple thing. How does it fuck up after two days of use?
I'm not conspiracy-minded, but I have a mind to think that Apple is paying these little shit cable manufacturers to suck.

I think part of it is they pay these chinese companies that make the cables fuck all and nobody gives a shit if the product works. The other part is probably planned failures to drive up sales. If a product never dies, it can never be replaced. These are unsought commodities, aka things people have to have. So it doesn't really matter if the product works for 3 days or 3 years because you are going to have to get one no matter what.
If you think iphone cables are a pain, try finding a guitar cable that won't die within a fucking week.

I use Belkin cables. They've never broken on me. Bought mine to replace the standard Apple cable which I personally found to be a piece of shitLindsay's Liver wrote: ↑Mon Aug 12, 2019 8:19 amWhy is every iPhone charger cable not made by Apple a complete piece of shit?

I've yet to find a decent third party cable that will actually fast charge my phone, which is weird considering there's plenty of off brands for other products that do the job or even better off a lot of products.

Shit like that is why I'll stick with my BlackBerry forever. Regular fuckboy batteries you can change whenever and a normal mini-USB charging port. Nothing proprietary at all.
Get some actual custom shit, lad. If you can't chose exactly how long you want to have it and it's not made to order with a two year guarantee it's trash. I got a heavily shielded cable made by some small boutique company and never had problems.rabidtictac wrote: ↑Mon Aug 12, 2019 9:58 amIf you think iphone cables are a pain, try finding a guitar cable that won't die within a fucking week.

That's what I'll do next time I start seriously playing again. I tried pulling my stuff out to fiddle around a few months ago and there was clearly something not working in my setup. I'd bet anything it's the fucking CORDS again. I wasn't even running pedals. The cheap pedals I was using have clearly died and I'm not even mad about that, bro. Silly me though, I bought a $25 guitar cord and expected it to not die immediately. Yeah, I'll buy the custom shit next time.Kugelfisch wrote: ↑Tue Aug 13, 2019 5:51 pmShit like that is why I'll stick with my BlackBerry forever.

The problem with buying expensive cords is I need like 3-4 cables to run my pedals and shit, or I will need next time I buy new pedals, since the old, cheap pedals are dead.
