The irony of technology evolution in one image. In 2005, FireWire was this sleek, compact connector that made USB look like a clumsy dinosaur. Fast forward to 2025 (in this alternate timeline), and apparently FireWire decided to transform into what looks like the power supply for a small nuclear reactor. It's giving strong "I need to connect my computer to the space station" vibes. Somewhere, a hardware engineer is looking at this and thinking, "Yes, but can we add MORE pins?" Because clearly, what we all want is a connector that requires a building permit to install.
