    That’s an effect on your ability to work, not the computers. The computer still doesn’t care.

      Is cable management actually bad for computers? If it make the wires 10% longer to accommodate the aesthetic shapes we like, then that’s 10% more time it takes for the 1s and 0s to reach their destination. I guess what I’m saying is my lack of cable management is actually a productivity hack

        Cables out of place can limit air flow and make things warmer, causing more failures. It is easier to snag a cable by mistake when doing other things. It is also easier to grab the wrong cable when in a hurry.

        There are levels to cable management, and the Borg manage cables poorly.

      more downtime while you go looking around for the bad cable maybe, but probably not a problem for the collective mind of the borg as they can just remember
