If you own an M2 MacBook Air or MacBook Pro there’...
I wonder if there's a viable business model in "free" cables that inject ads into video streams.

Maybe we could integrate an IOT M2M eSIM so there's no way to block the ad server.

Maybe the "free" ad-supported cables could have limited charging or data transfer speeds, but those features could be unlocked by paying a subscription or watching more ads.

I hope the firmware in my eye tracking glasses is compatible with my ad serving cable. Wouldn't want to watch all those ads for nothing.
