Summary
The writer details their long-standing issue with cables, and the troubles with having too many of the wrong kinds causing clutter, with too few of the right kinds when needed.
They had a problem with Lightning cables for Apple products, but since all iPhones now only use USB-C, the problem has become one of having too many USB-C cables, with the exception of one needed for their laptop.
The solution they have found are retractable USB-C cables from a company called Baseus which they bought on Amazon, which can be pulled out to the desired length and then retracts back into a puck shape when not needed.
While the cables are a little more expensive than regular ones, the writer says they are an excellent investment as they eliminate the issues of cabling getting tangled and deformed over time.
