What is this plug for? My cats some how unplugged it and ripped it from the cord. The cord goes into the wall and the into the floor. It’s a power supply to something and I just don’t know what, and worried it might be to something important.

I have googled the model number and haven’t found anything so far. It has been plugged in since we moved into the house last year.

Cable connector in a rectangle shape with one diagonal corner. About the length of a USB-C, and the width of a Mini USB

Cable is about 3ft long.

The other end is to USB-A. Connector is about the length of a USB-C, and the width of a Mini USB.

Google Lens is no help; it suggests images of Micro HDMI connectors, but that's not quite what this is.

Any idea what the name of this connector is, and/or what if could be used for?

In need of help! Trying to get a name for this style of USB housing.

I'm looking to upgrade this old USB 2.0 extender cable in 3.0. I haven't been able to find a name for this odd shape of housing on the female end of the cable. The shape press fits into a socket on my backpack, so that you can plug a separate USB cable into a connected battery pack inside. Is it proprietary, and I'm out of luck? The only identifier on the cable is a generic looking "DT" on the male end, which I've also been unable to find any leads on. Any help would be greatly apprediated!

Gaming technical question

0 Upvotes

I have a rather weird gaming technical problem. I've searched online about it and all the recommended fixes are not working. I'm not even sure if this subreddit is the place to ask. If it is not, then disregard, but if it is, here is my issue. I have a PS5. And I have a game installed called Dead by Daylight. The PS5 has a LAN cable to my router. (I checked all my other online games and they connect with no issues). I've Been playing Dead by Daylight with no connection issues since 2016. 3 days ago, I got an "failed to initialize" error message from the game. I went online at searched the fixes. None worked. Reset everything, cleared caches, reinstalled game, etc. An hour ago, I decided to use the hotspot on my phone and have my PS5 connect to it. Then I was able to get complete access to Dead by Daylight game. Played a few rounds online. Then I got curious and connected my phone to the wifi and Dead by Daylight is still connected! It makes no sense to me. Does anyone have an idea what is happening?

I recently moved and lost my webcam in the process. My dad gave me this really old apple one he had but my PC doesn't have these kind of plugs. Can a PC even use this kind of webcam if an adapter does exist?
