Don't do that! Milk is conductive. This could make you a serial killer!

[–] [email protected] 50 points 1 year ago

Or you would have a firewire πŸ€·πŸ½β€β™‚οΈ

Getting the order right is not an exact science. It's more of an UART.

I can't think of a pun good enough to respond with, good job

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

You people need to stop bit with the puns.

I’m showing my age here, but that’s likely dvi, and not serial.

9pin is much smaller and 25pin is significantly larger.

But despite my pedantic statement, the joke still stands. Well played.

Oh christ, DVI is old now.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 year ago (1 children)

We're pretty much at the point where 2.5" SSDs are old...

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Does that mean my stash of IBM MicroDrives are finally going to be worth something?

[–] [email protected] 27 points 1 year ago

Same here, although I thought VGA. Dealt with too many parallel cables in the past and that didn't look wide enough.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Shhhh it's just a different flavor of cereal

[–] ArbiterXero 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Mmmmmm fruity loops of wire

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

My favorite...

[–] MrBakedBeansOnToast 4 points 1 year ago

Oh god, I needed to read this comment to actually understand the joke of the post.

DVI-D uses TMDS, which is a serial protocol. So if you want to be really pedantic you could call it a serial port even though it's not RS232.

DVI-A also transmits metadata over a serial connection, but the video signal is parallel analog.

[–] ArbiterXero 12 points 1 year ago

Fair! Neat fact!

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Yeah it's clearly a D-Sub connector, I'll allow the meme, the joke's funny.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

Looks a heck of a lot like the RS-485 serial cable I've got on my desk right now. Scale is hard to tell, not sure how big that bowl is.

Fun fact: That's not real milk. It's just Elmer's glue, they use it to stage the perfect shot.

Food marketing is fascinating

I think it is extremely controverserial.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

...I should've thought of that

The milk, the serial needs something to plug in

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

True, but what if there isn't enough milk to plug into? Or what if you have too much milk?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It will never be too much milk

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This will be the result my friend:

Your house will overflow with milk!

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

You seem to really like milk

[–] GrammatonCleric 22 points 1 year ago (2 children)
[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago

I've upgraded all of my bowls to Universal Serial Bowls (the C connector is specifically for cereal).

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

It's up to you for your choice of connector, though it would be drier than usual

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Depends. Does the milk come from universal serial boobs?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago
[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Put them in whatever order you like.

The bowl goes last.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

...or does it?

Veritasium music starts playing

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Yes it does, and I will die fighting on this hill.

I generally put the Serial in first, as its very reliable.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Good choice! I do the same

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago

RS-23ewwwww

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Then it's a snack (I think?)

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What's the bitrate of the milk?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

Gotta take a waterfall approach

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Excuse me but I'm married and feed both of us - I do it in parallel.
