That's just awful. I might understand ink cartridges, but here afflicted patients suffering from sleep apnea disorder rely on these devices to help them breathe at night, and if you lose the official cable, you are up a crick. We need regulations a la "Right to Repair" against abuse of DRM in this manner. This is literally just screwing over people with disabilities (I have severe sleep apnea myself). I remember having to order a massively overpriced proprietary "smartcard" reader from China to retrieve my patient data from the older Respironics CPAP that I used to have.
