Eventually I'll have enough to just keep finding random ones

  I own an Ethernet cable tester. Somewhere.

  Then the frustration as you desperately try to find the hardware you know you have to avoid the shame of buying a new one.

    That’s easy, I keep my Ethernet cable tester next to my Ethernet cable crimper! Where is that? Well it’s where I keep my Ethernet headers! Where are they stored? Easy, next to the Ethernet cable tester!

    I highly recommend buying a cheap toolbox for this. I have one with my a multimeter, various cable testers, probe tracers, crimpers, etc.

    Works great as long as things get put back!

    Easy solution, buy one, find yours, cancel order.

    Someone needs to create a placebo-amazon.

    Right? New programers go in the bin with the old programmers.

  I use my debuggers multiple times a week so they’re almost always right at my desk.

  Scissors and tape measures, on the other hand… Well now that I have a thousand of each I’m normally able to find one within an hour or two.

  Use MCUs that can be programmed over straight USB.

    Lol I do when I’m building something, usually I need these stupid programmers to fix manufacturer crap

    Like today’s meme being brought to you by Asus™ Where you have a 50/50 shot on if our shitty ass BMC update process bricks it!

      I have a router that kept going in to a boot loop, that they didn’t delete the serial debug interface (complete with headers) was its saving grace. I’ve replaced it by now but that let me keep it going long enough to get the good replacement instead of the cheap and quick one.
