@thomasfuchs Like a hammer

@thomasfuchs sweet jaysus 🙏

@thomasfuchs db-nein!

@thomasfuchs зато работает 100%

@thomasfuchs

@thomasfuchs „no means no“, said the vga cable

@thomasfuchs

@thomasfuchs It realized it was named "Serial B" and tried to turn itself into a USB B port. Obviously that did not succeed

@thomasfuchs The stories it could tell.

@thomasfuchs it ate taco bell

@thomasfuchs now it’s ready to settle down

@thomasfuchs It looks like it's screaming.

@thomasfuchs that's why there are speed limits!

@thomasfuchs yet not a single bent pin.

this is a miracle

@thomasfuchs

Why can’t I get this monitor to plug in!?!

@thomasfuchs @maxeddy

@thomasfuchs $SHELL shock

@thomasfuchs
Some serial abuse. 😬

@thomasfuchs And yet the D-sub would still fit in there and that port would be 100% operatonal.

I so much as *look* at the usb-c port on my phone and it stops mating properly after 8 months.

The answer I am obviously suggesting is there should be a new USB-T port type for mobile devices which is a big 9 or 15 pin DSUB.. or maybe an old school MIL-DTL-38999 connector.

@thomasfuchs did someone try and plug in a Dreamcast controller? 🤣

@thomasfuchs that looks serialsly fucked up

@thomasfuchs they put these on the back, what do they expect would happen. 😀

@thomasfuchs looks like it’s seen everything but a serial cable lol

@thomasfuchs Specifically, not-DE9 plugs.

@thomasfuchs I think we got ourselves a serial killer 😔

@thomasfuchs Driven hard and put away bent...

@thomasfuchs what is this for a device?

@thomasfuchs At least the pins are not bent!

@thomasfuchs If you lean in close, it's trying to tell us something.

@thomasfuchs LOL!

@thomasfuchs this guy VGAs

"It didn't see nuthin',"
[*zip*]
"...ouch."

@thomasfuchs Rofl, if I'm to be honest that's the kind of thing I might have done some years ago if I encountered a device that didn't *quite* fit right or something. I might even have bent the pins just a bit to make them extra tight.

Don't hate me.

Ok, go ahead and hate me.

@thomasfuchs
for FSK sakes!

@thomasfuchs looks to be the handiwork of a serial killer

@thomasfuchs I should call him

@thomasfuchs The horror the horror...

@thomasfuchs She's a 10 but:

@thomasfuchs 😭

@thomasfuchs
Is this ... Serial Murder?

@thomasfuchs
Back in the days when computers had serial, parallel and midi ports that doubled as joystick ports ?
