Mildly Interesting

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

A normal computer mouse has its cord/tail coming out of their front which is very unrealistic! This mouse by logitech fixed this issue.

That has some Spy vs. Spy vibes right there.

Holy shit. Look at the connector port though! This is pre-usb, and even pre-ps2. This is like some paralell port shit from the 80s!

That is a serial mouse. DB-9 connector I believe.

Close, VGA. When you plug it in, you become the Lawnmower Man

PS/2 ports didn’t become the norm until well into the 90s.

Right. Which for a paralell port, is why I said 80s.

[–] atomicbocks@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 hours ago

PS/2 ports are from the 80s. D-subminiature connectors, including those used for Serial, are from the 50s. Parallel, or Centronics Interface, ports have been around since 1970.

It looks like the display sign says 1991.

Edit: searching "Logitech Kidz Mouse" brings up that exact mouse.

Looking at the information directly shown in the picture? That's cheating!

I feel triggered by kidz with a z. Reminds me of some "Hacker" movie from that same era.
