One of my favorite moments in college was when my professor was showing us older hardware and I pointed out a SCSI interface on a drive. This was 2015, mind you, and his exact words were "now how the hell did you know that?!" He was an awesome retro tech guy who probably didn't expect anybody under 40 to identify a SCSI interface.

I fixed my washer recently, and recognized those molex/amp connectors. My unit dates to around 2014, so I guess they are alive and well in industrial functions. They were a PITA to get apart, so probably a good solution for something you want to put together once and never come apart except for repair.

I'm kinda surprised Micro-USB made it in this list. I'm not going to try to defend its durability, but when it first came along it was revolutionary in providing, for the first time, a somewhat standard charging connector for (non-Apple) phones, in place of the mess of proprietary junk that came before.

in the 90s I had a computer that was "never obsolete" and I had a flatbed scanner plugged into the printer ports serial connection in the back and then daisy chained to the scanner was the actual printer. That was a fun setup.
That was the "newer" setup replacing are old PC which had a dot matrix printer that had paper that loaded with holes on each side with perforations to remove them after printing.
That one was really good for printing banners though

And among the mini and micro USB ports there were not only the type-B's that most people know about. There were also type-A in both mini and micro variants. (Unlike type-B, though, there were no mini/micro type-A connectors defined in the spec for USB 3, just the full-size type-A.) I have a device that has a micro-A/B port (that can accept both micro-A and micro-B cables), but cannot actually use a micro-A cable to connect things like keyboards or USB storage (though an OTG adapter for micro-B works) - the device in question is a Sony Xperia Pro.

I can hear a billion ethernet cables with broken tabs all crying out at once.
