My apple thunderbolt 4 cable has a computer more powerful than my firs computer in it (ARM Cortex‑M0 core running at up to 48 MHz vs a 286 at 25mhz)

That tickled a memory of a video... and I hunted it up.

Adam Savage's Tested : Look Inside Apple's $130 USB-C Cable - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AD5aAd8Oy84 (1 minute in "we've been saying that our phones have more computing power than the Apollo guidance computer but I'm positive now that this cable has more computing power than the Apollo guidance computer")

That video is a look at cables (not just Apple's) with Lumafield's CT Scan.

Lumifield quite recently showed on Adam Savage's Tested again, with some literal insights on a reasonably-diverse array of different 18650 cells: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AD5aAd8Oy84

It's a good watch, and I learned some new stuff about some things that I only knew a little bit about before.

The fun thing about those thunderbolt cables is they have two Arm cores in them, one at each end...

Probably there is someone somewhere trying to make Linux boot on a thunderbolt cable.

It would be a pretty amusing demonstration to plug in the cable to a display, then pretend to plug the other end into an imaginary computer sitting nearby and have something boot up on the display.

Or Doom.
