I think security-hacking content is inaccessible because the tools are so brutal to use. I've been building embedded Linux devices for almost a decade, and still can't use sed, awk, vi, make, gdb, or even really netstat without burning days on trial and error

No sarcasm: The $130 cable is incredible tech. This is a five-foot-long PCIe x4 cable - GPU extensions are four inches. It can feed two 4K displays at 60Hz. It can transfer data faster than an NVMe drive can store it. The fact that this is even physically possible is astounding.
This dinky-ass cable has eight impedance-matched conductors and 12 more. It's effectively multiple USB 4 cables that double as multiple DisplayPorts. It's also literally a PCIe x4 cable - Microsoft requires USB4 devices to implement a PCIe interface.
