      That’s an effect on your ability to work, not the computers. The computer still doesn’t care.

        more downtime while you go looking around for the bad cable maybe, but probably not a problem for the collective mind of the borg as they can just remember

      As long as you know where it starts and where it ends you can just pop a new one there and let the old cable be absorbed into the rest

      Nobody replaces “a cable” in a long run.

      The only two actions available are to add a cable, or to replace an entire nest of them.

      Replacing a cable in that mess is a lot quicker than having to undo dozens of cable ties though.

      I like cable managing, but it takes up a lot more of your time.

      Or trust me I have. Imagine if you will a house from the 1930s with the internet cable running from the opposite side of the house as the router. However the wire is deliberately put through as many rooms as possible on the way to the router and super glued into place as though it’s fine to trip on a wire 5 times to get to a room.

        Yall need an attic, a crawlspace, or some outdoor rated cable and some siding cable clips.

        Some acetone on the hilariously glued cable should sort it out afterwards.

      Depends how on reasonable they are, if they’re just long cables and dangling on the floor it doesn’t really matter except for aesthetics.
