Every cable except for Nvidia's 8 pin octopus cable adapters are third party. That includes the native 12Vhpwr/12V-2x6 cables that are coming with high end PSUs. The actual connectors are all made by either Amphenol or Molex anyway.
Interesting that it lasted two years with their 4090 with no ill effects. Even though the 5090 is higher power draw, I would suspect the contact resistance of the cable was causing heating even before, just not enough to smell or deform the connectors.
This but actually. Don't use an LLM to do things LLMs are known to not be good at. As tools various companies would do good to list out specifically what they're bad at to eliminate requiring background knowledge before even using them, not unlike needing to somehow know that one corner of those old iPhones was an antenna and to not bridge it.
I always go for the clear plastic replacement shells for my electronics. I got a Dreamcast with a chewed up shell that is now clear blue, did my GBA SP in a clear green a couple of years ago, and I'm looking into reshelling my Wii too now.
As for an alternative, set up stable diffusion with a web based frontend on a PC and access remotely. It'll draw the same power as a videogame for 5-60 seconds per image. At least this way you're not paying someone to use electricity on your behalf.
They get them while at their destination and lose them on their flight home.
