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

[–] AnActOfCreation 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Maybe because it's sort of a brand name?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

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

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

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 11 months ago

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

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.
