>>My junk drawer, glovebox, stuck in receptacles...a lifetime supply of cables, adapters, wall warts...
And still not the one I need!<<
Get rid of them all. You will need one of the ones you chucked.
This is EXACTLY what happened to me. I tossed a box literally 6 feet tall X 3 square full of old cables and junk.
The next week I needed a USB-3 cable for an HDD. I also needed a power pack that I was 100% sure I tried on every DC powered device I had.
But OTOH my “office” was starting to look like the opening sequence of the show “Hoarders.”

Pls, do NOT get me started on wall warts.
And they also come in AC and millions of current ratings, polarity, cable end types, diameters...
AND many are parasitic continuously sucking a few watts 24/7. Just like GFCIs!!!

Murphy’s law sort of.
