minus-squareIlovethebomb@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up1·14 hours agoYou do realise there is equipment being manufactured today that uses RS232?
minus-squareJerkface (any/all)@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·edit-228 minutes agoYes. Cold war era tech being manufactured today. You do realize there are plows being manufactured today that are intended to be drawn by oxen? It was a tongue in cheek comment and you’ve already displayed elsewhere in the thread how much you know about RS232 but you couldn’t let it slide.
minus-squarelka1988@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·14 hours agoWe have brand new machines that use RS232 and RS485. We just did some configurating on one of them last week.
