Cleaners broke the HDMI cable from the computer to the TV. Reached into my cable drawer and pulled out two good new ones. It was a very proud moment for me.
One of the perks of working for a tech company on a hybrid schedule. They inventory the issued laptops, but that’s about all they have time for. And every once in a while they clean out and let us take stuff home. After 5-ish years, I and the people closest to me will always have monitors, monitor stands, at least one working UPS and all the peripherals, HDMI and Ethernet cables we could ever need.
Our cleaners are wizards at pulling the optical audio cable out of our sound bar or television. It’s not too short or anything like that, but it’s happened at least half the times they have been here. And it’s behind the sound bar and television. I can’t figure out why it’s always that specific cable. Plenty of others nearby.
While I’m sure that this is just a braino and one of those was meant to be “monitor”, I like the idea that you’re somehow both techie enough to have your HDMI cables to hand and nontechie enough that you call the screen the computer.

Just tell them to pull out those other cables instead.

TV! Not PC. Thanks!
