YSK: before unplugging a desk, tv, or router setup, label both ends of every cable and take one photo of the ports
use masking tape and give each connection a number: 1 on the cable, 1 beside the port, then 2, 3, etc. the photo is backup for weird ports and power bricks that all look the same.
this takes maybe two mins before a move, repair, or deep clean and saves the dumb guessing game when everything goes back together.
Why YSK: a cable label is only useful if you know both what the cable is and exactly where it came from. marking both ends plus keeping one photo makes rebuilding the setup faster and avoids mixing up similar-looking cables or adapters.
