Jesus I’ve used every port on this image. I’m gonna go order my casket now before it’s too late.

Huh. Toslink is in quotes like it's a coliquialism, but it's the actual name for that port.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Maybe because it's sort of a brand name?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Maybe? Or the creator might not have known it was the actual name since it looks like a brand name.

They're missing the BNC connector. Our lab has equipment that still uses them to plug in test probes.

Lol listing adb and svideo differently

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

They used the same shape but transmitted very different data. ADB was for peripherals, like mouse and keyboard

Once I used a Mac serial cable to network 2 Macs directly together (classic Mac OS 9) so that I could play Marathon multiplayer mode with my brother. It worked and it was rad. 90s LAN party of 2

This picture was around when people using PCs would know what a ps/2 connector was. I'm not sure if the fact it calls usb3 future, ages the picture or makes me feel old for knowing a time before usb3.
