I have done something similar. We were going to play Wii one night but my friend brought the wrong adapter.
Wrong API? Wrapper pattern time!
I can’t believe this picture of the “adapter” I made 15 years ago is finally relevant. Think I was just missing a cable extender so made one myself
Twelve audiophiles around the world just had seizures
There’s a dozen of us! Exactly a dozen!
I mean, if it makes good contact and is not moving it is not going to affect audio quality any more than an equivalent length of extra cable would’ve
Once someone tried to tell me that the wrong cable impedance to the speakers affected sound. Asked him what is the wavelength at audio frequencies, conversation died.
Tv started acting up today, found a bulged cap on the main board, it’s a trough hole, the only one I find to match is a surface mount. I used some resistor legs to poke through the TV board and soldered the surface mount cap to the poking legs. TV is back to life ! Yay !

Not audio, but I needed to power some fans with a 12V DC adapter
Hah, I have done this before. PC fans are nice for random projects since they are square, have mounting equipment, and use an extremely common DC voltage. Mine has a little molex snake in the middle though. ;p
I don’t know why, but I laughed quite hard at this. Try putting “…mine has a little molex snake in the middle…” in any other context. XD
On a more serious note, “yes” to everything you said. I “mounted” them to a repurposed bathroom rack. :)
There is no wrong cable only wrong ports.
I removed the 3.3v from my sata cables last night and threw an “I told you I can figure shit out on my own as a man” up at my dead electrician father. That’ll show him to not teach me to be proud of myself…
Also, help me. Fractal Node (fits 10). Proxmox. TrueNas. 1 zfs2 VDEV using 5 of 8 SAS HBA
Adding 2nd swath of 5. Using remaining 3 SAS HBA and they’re working, the 3.3v fix worked including one disk on a chain with the original swath that didn’t require the fix.
The 2 remaining new disks have no SAS slots to use, so using SATA but proxmox won’t detect them to even setup the pass through.
Tested cables, disks, slots, etc. Enabled spin up on all sata in bios. Nada. Feels like a software or bus issue but I’m not technical. Need an adult

Probably wanna make a separate post for this. I’m sure someone knows, but they won’t be able to see it buried in the comments of a meme.
I kinda want to not repost and test the venn diagram theory in my head about this post’s audience. But you’re obviously correct 100%
Just use a banana, no one can’t tell the difference anyway
i find this a surprisingly elegant solution!!!
it’s nice and simple to put in place, and if you have this class of audio equipment at your whim, you probably have something to scavenge the copper from
copper does oxidize, but so long as it can trade broker enough electrons around, i’m definitely making use of this idea in the future, thank you for the post
A major advantage of analogue. Compatibility!
… Wouldn’t there be enough electrical power in this that you might wanna cover that in electrical tape?
I’ve not jerry rigged an amp before, but I did once build a ramshackle ‘home media pc’ for some roommates once, out of old spare pc parts i had lying around, using the box their xbox360 came in as a ‘case’.
Got a paperclip with some rubberized covering, snipped a bit off the two ends, and then you had to short the right two pins on the … whatever the socket is that would normally go to the front io panel is, you had to do that to turn it on lol.
I once saw someone make a video cable by dissecting the strands of a power cable and insulating them with packing table.
Looking through the comments. Random engineers on Lemmy MacGyvering the most insane adapter on the spot made my day
