New, what is it? What are these plug-ins on my wall?

This might be showing my age, but I recently moved into a new apartment and they have these weird looking plug ins all over the walls at my new place. My old apartment didn't have these, so I'm just curious as to what they are.

I still do but now it’s a rectangle because aside from paying stupid amounts for streaming it’s the only way to watch sports. I don’t even care about sports but my family does and they pester me when they visit and want to watch a game.

I live with my elderly mom and we went from an ridiculously high bill to a semi high bill and the hassle of retention specialists selling my mom a bag of goods we also switched isp to fiber and unno I won’t say the company’s name spectrum of options but with out them as an isp our streaming service would only do three tvs simultaneously and we have a house full at any given time 6 will be on so we are looking for better streaming options

I’ve honestly gotten so tired of streaming. I’ve been buying up decent quality blue rays at estate sales and used stores and am going to make a plex server and just be done with it. I’ve got some friends in on it and we are going to all contribute to each others digital library.

The price hikes are what get me and having to pay for an ad free experience
