So I saw this cable (dunno where, maybe here), and I wondered, what's the most cursed cable (or adapter too) ever?
Most cursed cable/adapter
>dunno where, maybe here
Literally yesterday you fucking newfag. Lurk more.
nothing has killed more devices than a shitty stereo connector
no
im guessing thats for external drives since those are the only retarded devices left still using that shit connector
*NGGGGHHHHHHHFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
the best part about that post is I can't tell which end of this cable you're talking about
Isn't this one of those leads used to backfire a generator into an american electrical system
The left side obviously, when have you seen an external HDD with the right side connector?
parallel /thread
How does the cable kill?
probably short circuit by connecting a line out to a headphone out
How the fuck does that work? Does iOS natively include drivers for USB to serial chips?
>Does [apple product] natively include drivers
no
9/10 not as bad as the 30A widowmaker people use with gennys but this will be the only cable in this thread that can literally kill you
Then I wonder how it works
>they simulate an audio DAC and their terminal app converts ASCII to tones, which are then demodulated in the black box and sent through RS-232
Kek
>GAMEPORT to USB
The most patrician adapter, lets me use my 25 year old Microsoft Sidewinder
Yes and no. Drivers aren't the important thing really since you're probably handling USB comms in userspace yourself anyway if you're using something like this.
iOS doesn't allow communication with generic USB devices- it all has to be specially approved via their "MFi" accessory program.
This cable is kind of a workaround for that, allowing iThings to be connected to serial devices. You have to write your own app to talk to it, and that app can't be distributed via the app store (only via private enterprise setups).
well hello
