Shiny new toy is shiny 😄

Got myself a new Treedix USB Cable Tester, replacing a little no name tester from AliExpress I bought a few years ago.

Can be powered by a AAA battery or USB-C, and can measure from a USB-A or USB-C connector to a MicroB2.0, MicroB3.0, USB-C, Mini-B or Lightning connector. For chipped USB-C cables you get a ton of data on top of wiring, connectivity into etc!

Great little device 😊

And already allowed me to get rid of the shit cable measured in the picture below ^^

Cable tester testing a crappy USB A to C cable I found on my desk.

The display shows no days connection and only some very basic power connection.
