Yep. Used to record all sorts of TV shows on my computer using them. Though they aren’t nearly as prevalent since Internet streaming has taken over. I doubt I could pick up more than 2 or 3 channels over-the-air where I live anymore.
I had two, both 8 digits. Still remember them both. Seems like I was able to sign on with them until a few months ago, but it may have been a few years ago.
I had a roommate once who would get inebriated and go on eBay. I think his best purchase was a full size Pac-Man arcade game. He also acquired a Flowbee hair cutting system.
I think the serialized format it eventually took on is what has kept it from wider syndication. Most of the time shows are in syndication, the network picks and chooses the most popular episodes, whereas with DS9, it would be very hard to skip through a lot of the episodes without making it hard to follow. Essentially, it is far more suited for streaming services.
Through idiomatic usage, dampener has taken the same meaning as damper, but as my dynamics professor was fond of saying, one of them terms means to slow motion, the other means to get something wet.
What is this wire for? (www.imagenetz.de)
At one end of the wire is a 3.5 mm Jack plug. On the other end of the wire is presumably a glass LED....

Found in DS9 s2e12 “The Alternate” and it’s totally not an air freshener from the 90’s.

Known as the feisty Ferengi Quark and, I hear, one hell of a caddy.
He's such a versatile actor (beehaw.org)
