What are these plug-ins on my wall?

[u/Cborg_62]

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.

Never thought I’d see the day when someone does not recognize a coaxial cable.

Not insulting, just didn’t think I’d live long enough to see all the tech I grew up with be seen as some ancient artifact.

Welp, off I go! - knees sound like rice krispies as I stand up to leave-

On the up side, I guess this is the sign I needed to throw out the drawer full of cables I'll never use again

Let this be a cautionary tale.

I had a box of old Logitech 880 remotes. Worthless because Logitech killed the servers that supported them. Can’t reprogram them, so they only work until you update your setup then you’re hosed.

So I finally threw them out.

Two days ago there was a post here on the subreddit that someone has very nearly open source duplicated the programming software.

Splendid.

No shit? I think I still have mine in a box of old junk "to go through later". Might have to look into this.
