No, this method does not work. I tried, got rid of all those stuff because why would I need it ever again. And of course a month later I needed that one stupid thing right there and then. And I remember throwing away... Not again, I keep at least one cable of each in a separate box to find immediately, the rest is stored, it is not asking for any money.

If you’re using 20 year old hardware, okay - keep 20 year old wires and accessories.

Most are not.

Put an expiration date on your neuroticism. Old dirty stuff can literally consume you.

Ask me how I know!

Yeah, what happens to me is I need a thing, go to Amazon to order it, see that I already bought it 4 years ago, spend 30 minutes trying to find it, then let out a big sigh and order it again.

Most recently: a USB to TTL serial adapter.
