minus-squareGreenKnight23@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up12·9 hours agoeveryone keeps saying 80s or 90s, yet completely miss the spool of blue Ethernet cable under it all. everyone is pretty spot on with the boombox and toy. based on that plus the Ethernet, plus the age on the items. I would say it’s been there since between 2001-2010.

minus-squareGreenKnight23@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·3 hours agoI have no doubt, but it wasn’t something that was so common that you’d leave a whole spool of it out in a pile of junk. getting your hands on the stuff took effort and it wasn’t cheap back then either unless you were running a business in IT infra.
