'Sup neowin!

"Easy but complex" dilemma I have today!

You see, I've been spending quite much on Aux Extension cables lately. In fact, I've purchased 12 of them over the last 3 years. What I want, is to connect my Surround system to my laptop, and I'll need 3 extension cables for it. Unfortunately, I can't say I treat them properly. They are usually on the floor, and they are usually mopped over (I have a protective base, but that is not enough), so I'll need something that can take a considerate amount of damage.

The next issue is that I need to replace a Bose Companion 2 Series Auxiliary Cable, since it is also badly treated and the music isn't listening as good as it used to be.

So, what can you recommend me?

Thanks a lot! :p

Hello,

Get good quality cables, then put them inside some cord ducting.

Hello,

Wow. We use cord ducting in places where we roll carts around at work and it holds up to that. I'm wondering what sort of environment you must be in for that to not work...

Have you looked at installing the cable in plastic spiral weave or metal hose? Another thing to do might be to look at running the cabling differently, tacking it along wallboard, in the ceiling with cable drops, etc.

My room :p 

 

That's a good suggestion. Going to see if I can get a small hose to do the work (my mom is going to kill me and I'll laugh at her very load)

 

Now... what I really need is someone to recommend me high quality Aux Cables.

Hello,

 

Maybe put some armored (metal) flexible conduit inside the cord duct, and route the cable through that?

      Hello, Were you using a product or service from one of the companies affected by the Klue data breach?  See https://klue.com/blog/an-update-on-recent-klue-security-incident for the company's public statement.  That blog post does not list affected customer. From looking around at reports, I created this list: Gong HackerOne Huntress Insurity Jamf LastPass OneTrust Recorded Future ReliaQuest Salesforce Snyk Sprout Social Tanium It is likely there are other companies affected as well.

    • SpaceX reportedly plans a Starlink mobile service for U.S. consumers

      By Karthik Mudaliar · Posted

      SpaceX reportedly plans a Starlink mobile service for U.S. consumers by Karthik Mudaliar SpaceX reportedly wants to sell mobile phone plans directly to consumers in the United States as part of a wider expansion of Starlink. According to a report from the Financial Times, SpaceX president Gwynne Shotwell discussed the plan with investors during the company’s recent IPO roadshow. The company is also said to be considering building a terrestrial mobile network to complement Starlink’s satellite coverage. The plan is quite different from how Starlink currently operates in the U.S. mobile market. SpaceX already provides satellite connectivity for T-Mobile’s T-Satellite service, but T-Mobile remains responsible for the subscription, billing, and customer support. A Starlink-branded mobile service would give SpaceX control of the customer relationship instead. It could also turn the company from a partner of traditional mobile operators into a direct competitor. T-Mobile also began testing its Starlink-powered satellite service in early 2025. The beta was initially limited to text messaging and was also available to some AT&T and Verizon customers. The service has since expanded to support limited data access through selected apps, including WhatsApp, Google Maps, AccuWeather, and AllTrails. It is designed to provide a connection in areas where normal cell towers are unavailable, rather than replace a conventional mobile network. However, if SpaceX actually has a plan to serve nationwide, it needs to do more than just satellite networks and actually support on-ground operations. It can also partner up with existing carriers and become a mobile virtual network operator (MVNO). With that said, SpaceX has already spent heavily to support its mobile ambitions. Just last year, the company agreed to acquire wireless spectrum licences from EchoStar in deals worth a combined $19.6 billion. EchoStar's spectrum includes AWS-4, H-Block, and AWS-3 frequencies that could be used for both satellite and terrestrial communications. According to a SpaceX securities filing, the Federal Communications Commission approved the transaction in May 2026, although it is not expected to close until late 2027. There's no official statement by SpaceX for now. Pricing, availability, and other details remain unknown. Source: Financial Times
