Do you ever sit on a couch with your laptop? I do this a lot, and I think this is when it gets destroyed. Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be a good way to avoid this other than just making the cable sturdier somehow.
- Jtsummers 10y agoAn ex-girlfriend used her (non-mac) laptop on the couch a lot, and constantly ended up with frayed cables. What I found was that when she used a plugged-in device, she paid little attention to the angle the cable went out at. I guess it's from my time dealing with fiber, but I always make sure that if the cable has to turn a corner, I give it as gentle a curve as possible. This makes a huge difference in resisting fraying.

- makmanalp 10y agoIt's hard to be in sitting position and also keep the cable flat and going to the side. It's usually at least hanging downwards, and also perhaps sideways if you're sitting lengthwise on the couch.
