I have been recently wrapping the ends with the tie wire that comes with
the cable but I would like to know what you use as a USB cable strain
relief that works better. https://imgur.com/yjHLBYt

Same here, for many years. Some people mistreat their electronics. I
take good care of mine.

I've never had a USB cable fail. Ever.

They go from the charger to the phone/tablet/whatever. Or from a
laptop/desktop to the phone/tablet/whatever. Or from a laptop/desktop
to the USB external drive. Etc.

Where does the "strain" come from?

Everyone is Vennie Bowden, Real Estate Agent -- the oldest gag in the book.

Already moved on from that. Keep up!

Everyone is Audra Moore -- the oldest gag in the book. Studying Slrn... even now a beginner...

Just hogwash from him. But he has left technology behind and is simply holding me guilty for the words of himself. It was Audra Moore who flooded Vennie Bowden, REALTOR - BloomTree Realty's site millions of times and pretended he did not do it.
