This is the one I got - https://shkspr.mobi/blog/2025/06/gadget-review-treedix-usb-cable-tester/

The LED ones are OK. They'll tell you continuity. But you won't get speed or PD information from them.

You need a specialised device. I couldn't find any software which could read this from an Android phone or Linux machine.

 

Picked up a Treedix while they were on sale. Slowly going through my Big Box Of Cables™. Some of the high-spec cables I bought are duff.

I can recommend getting a Treedix USB tester - it will show you if your cables are up to spec.

I agree with all this. The thing which caused me to uninstall was suddenly being pushed lots of abusive message with disturbing contents.

When I complained about it, Matrix told me that my public complaints were hurting the ecosystem and I should be quiet.

 

I am trying to follow an account on Lemmy, but I get the error couldnt_find_person

I'm able to follow the account on Mastodon and some other Fediverse services.

The account is @bot@bot.viii.fi / https://bot.viii.fi/ - as far as I can tell, it complies with all ActivityPub specs.

Any idea why Lemmy instances can't follow it?

Could you please share a link to the beta? I can't find it in the telegram chat. Thanks 😃
