>>
>>54669112

>>
>>54668924
Because people still use them. Don't like it? Buy a board without them, it's not rocket science.
>>
What ports are you talking about?

I still use the Serial, RJ-11, VGA and PS/2 connectors on my NETMAN box.
>>
God Damn
>>
>>54669611
Most new workstations made by Dell, HP, et al. still feature an RS-232 port since a lot of equipment still uses it for control, they also have at least one PCI slot in case you have an old add-in card that you absolutely need for some reason. Expensive industrial gear is utilized for decades and interfaces with whatever computers had at the time.
>>
>>54669772
Heaven forbid somebody use old hardware that still works
>>
>>54668924
Do they though? I don't have parallel or serial ports on my new mobo.

There are undoubtedly connectors you can hook up a port to, though. I imagine these are there because it's 2 cents a piece to add because the chipset already has pins for them, so if it sells 0.1% more as a result it's worth it.

An automotive company?

>>54668924
I dont know about legacy but those ports look legendary.
>>
>>54669878
Oh, I remember that story. Their F1 cars used proprietary interface cards for the car's subsystem that only worked with a specific model of laptop, supposedly to prevent secrets from leaking out, even within the company. To this day they still need to procure these dinosaurs just to be able to access their own cars. They're actively trying to reverse-engineer the interface because they're running out of laptops.

Would she look at you when she was done and turned around?

Would she have a smug look on her face?

It's not rape she's literally presenting.

>>54668924
