Not gonna lie it is comfy but could you please have more pins

Most satisfying click

I could get into that

...

Centronics! That feel! HHHHNNNNGGGGGGHHH.

That's nothing, the "ping" test is where it's at

...

You want a 16-bit parallel port?

SCART standard is God-like. Connector could be better, but it's pretty okey for a consumer connector.

why not?

What a nice name for a port.

fuck apple been trolling consumers with connector standards longer than i thought...

still aint got shot on sony game tho (pic related: for headphones)

>Remember having a hard time to arrange these IDE cables in my small pc case.

nothing is worse than this shit

The longer I look at that image the more rage I feel

lol i remember that cable !! g5 tower ? apple cinema display ?

I have an old Apple Pro keyboard that came with an extension cord like that.

What the fuck is this unholy abomination

thats right it was for the keyboard... they gimped it so people wouldnt "break" the usb spec by trying to charge other 2A usb devices over a longer than spec length... as if that could housefire... laywers and pussies FFS

2A usb devices didn't exist when that came out

Mmmmm...

So fucking comfy.
I remeber messing around with those and old VCRs as a child.

Thanks to this connector and others, I'm a nerd now.
Modern connectors could learn a thing or two.

hi guys, what's going on in this thread?

that is the headphones and plug that went into the remote of a high end sony cassette walkman... some walkmans had a trs headphone jack on the player some had the propriety remote only which meant that type of plug / headphones was the only way to get sound out of your device

sony removed the trs headphone jack... from the walkman back in the late 90's

are you lgr lol

Comfy? More like snug. Try to disconnect one of those that's been plugged in for 15 years...

pretty sure my ipod video could suck an amp or two to charge

Lemo Connectors they will survive an atomic blast.

No.
I don't care for owning any old computers (well I may get a vintage thinkpad).

I'd like to say I like them, but the cheapo Y connectors off EBAY have loose pins.

have had month old chink molex wires chemicaly break down to a few ohm, suck a few amps and self combust in fire !

haunted connector
>0/10

That keyboard predates iPods.

2-20 pins
Shrouded
Keyed
Clips tightly
Easily removed
2.54mm so directly board mountably

so many holes
all of them plundered at once

Nice

I remember I had a SCART splitter for switching between consoles and satellite TV.
I remember I accidentally pressed 2 of the buttons at once, to my amazement the signals were spliced! (looked awful though)
I started experimenting with it, using other SCART connectors.
I had a phono-to-SCART with a switch that can change it from input to output.
I used this to connect the satellite TV audio and a video source. I could now dub audio over game videos from MTV, VHS or some other channel.
Connected it to video-camera, put it in front of TV with reflections, it created those funky 70s sci-fi special effects with feedback loops.
Used 2 VHS players and dubbed over my video-camera claymations with the same music I recorded to a video cassette

But, none of this comes close to the best thing I figured out.
I connected it in reverse using the adaptor with the input-output switch.
I connected a games console as the input and 2 SCARTs as output.
Those 2 SCARTs went in to 2 TVs.
Split-screen mode suddenly became a whole lot more fun.
Piece of cardboard and tape later, one screens top was covered, the others bottom covered. No more fucking spying where the other player was.
Game nights at weekends with brother, cousin and friends instantly became better.

SCART, the actual master socket.

>fuck apple been trolling consumers with connector standards longer than i thought...

underage b&? apple's been doing proprietary shit since apple II

SCART is absolute shit.

So nice. It has little friction to plug in, and a nice crisp click when it's securely in.

Are you me?

>found the NTSC pleb

>inb4 PALfag with chink cables/connectors
>hurr the connectors are bad the cables are thin

Was ist das?

>Autism: the post

Screw me, these were a pain when you didn't have great lighting or when the marked pin wore off OR my personal favorite the PCB was printed 2mm off and you couldn't find pin 1 or 40
Then they came out with the oriented pins and locator tabs and it made life so much better.
Except when you're drunk and you have an older MOBO and it has the pin that that cable has blocked off.

I believe it is some sort of caltrop designed to hinder infantry movement on the battlefield.

Hmm, interesting

it's the worst kind of connector if you have to plug and unplug multiple times a day

SATA connectors were a godsend
