What’s the truth about cable length? Do shorter cables always mean a better signal? Has digital technology made the question irrelevant, or is it still something you should think about?

Is Linus a german? 3:16

Not enough sexual jokes 2/10
For some reason there is no actual relevant comments.
I discovered this problem when I tried to connect a surveillance camera via a 50ft long usb cable lol. I wish I had seen these ideas before.
For some reason i got an ad that showed the entire first lego movie
so shorter and thicker are better.
hmmm…..
Make them shorter please, but good videos
What about for quick charge?
1:25 you hear that boys shorter cables are better!!!
so no more cutting up cables to combine them for a wi-fi antennas dishes
Why? Linus, why do you have an iPhone?
I always heard that long and thick was better.
I work in IT for my school district and this is something we always try to explain to teachers and staff. They just don’t care though. They want to run cables as long as possible just to accommodate the new position of their desk that is now on the other side of the room from their projector or display.
Is this applicable to chargers?
it’s not the length it’s the thickness and the quickness
So Ethernet ?
What is maximum length recommended for Usb C?
So, dumbass question. I want a long cable for my 4k tv, approximately 6 to 7 meters, will I be able to get 4k60fps on that distance?
