Do you really need a longer HDMI cable? You’ve got alternatives

Even if it wasn’t in a home theater setup, we’ve all had it happen at least once — some crucial device turns out to be just out of reach of your cables. The other day, I wanted to charge my Steam Deck while I was playing games in bed, but discovered that my USB-C cable was a few inches short. It wasn’t a huge deal since the Deck is a portable device to begin with, but I did have to end my session early once I noticed I was down to 7% power.
