✦AI Summary
A new free Mac application called WhatCable allows users to analyze the data capabilities and power delivery specifications of their USB-C cables. The app leverages existing macOS system data to identify connection bottlenecks.
Nearly three years ago, I showed you an awesome $8 cable tester that quickly tells you if your USB-C cable is likely fast, slow, powerful, or weak. Sadly, that gadget got discontinued, and I’ve never found anything as intuitive or inexpensive since. But if you’ve got a Mac with Apple Silicon chips, you can simply download an even more impressive tester for free.
