  Remember when every phone on the house had it’s own proprietary cable ? Truly horrible times.

    Remember when you had to rent your phone from the phone company?

    Imagine if service providers still did that now, and you’d have to rent a special box from the internet company to access the internet…or one from the TV company to watch shows and movies. What a world.

    Sony Ericson’s break-off cable was fun to use!

    Thanks. For a moment I thought Pennsylvania wiring was a real thing.

      Do you… think… that Pennsylvanians don’t wire their homes?

  Title text: You can leave at any time through the door over there. It’s a Louisville door, so you’ll need to find a compatible knob. No, don’t be silly, that one is a Lexington knob! Of course it won’t fit.

  Wait, the US didn’t even manage to standardize that?

    It’s a joke.

    AC outlets across the US are indeed standardized.

  This one is particularly upsetting to me.

  When you think about it, is it just the fediverse IRL?
