Connector Alignment Chart

Nerdiness used to have limits and boundaries set by publishers who claimed they knew what the people wanted to see, but as it turns out the people didn't know what they really wanted until the internet arrived.

And now that we have so much niche comedy available online we can find lots of hilarious stuff to LOL at that perfectly suits our taste in funny.

So if you're both a Dungeons & Dragons player and an A/V nerd then you can thank Rob Beschizza for this incredibly niche-y Connector Alignment Chart you'll soon be sharing with all your friends via social media.

Thank you, thank you Mz and Andrew! Just because it looks like a serial connector, doesn't mean it won't crash your computer.

chaotic evil should be all the many different Apple-specific connectors XD
DVI is also evil considering all of the different versions of the connectors and the female connectors having blocked slots preventing connections with non-matching cables

I remember a number of frustrations dealing with the DE-9/DB-9 connector shown there in the middle. Even when used for serial communications, some cables only connect pins 2,3 and 9, while others did the full set of pins, and sometimes you needed to have pins 2 and 3 swapped while for other uses you did not.
