Hey all,
I'm wondering if there's anyone out there who can point me in the eight direction.
I have a VT320 terminal I want to use, but am lacking the MMJ cable -- this is quite common.
I'm not in a position to create one myself, and even then, likely won't be able to connect to a computer without a USB to serial converter anyway.
I'm curious if there's anyone in the UK/Europe who makes these cables, in which case I'm happy to pay for that -- I just don't want to try making this myself, as I don't have the time.
Any help much appreciated.

@doener the pictures in those articles are #ai generated #fiberoptic #cables in #germany are usually #orange and you are lucky if companies are incentivized enough to put them in the ground, because the #copper #strategy of #telekom was a #catastrope but it was probably because #stockmarket #investors prefer #dividends over #investment in #infrastructure to make sure the #telekom still exists tomorrow
#poland neither has #copper nor #fibre and does all over massive 100dB #wifi on every house pretty cool actually

Fuck. Guess what charging cable do I not have? Yes, USB-C, what this piece of Kobo shit has, and none of my other gadgets I travel with.
I swear it was on charger overnight the day before I left home.

Is there such a thing a thing as a USB-C charging cable for a phone or tablet which has a working life longer than seventeen nanoseconds?
And where or how would such a thing be purchased by a person currently in England who currently
1/ owns about 94,000 dead USB-C charging cables.
2/ owes millions to the swear jar.
3/ would like to buy a cable which might remain functional for at least six months.Or is this a hopeless fantasy?
