There's an old dish antenna on the roof of my office that's pointed at a building we used to have in the 90s. I've wondered if I could get it to do anything cool, since my house is near the other building, but I don't think I could get an antenna high enough to get line of sight.

- drewzero1 5y agoI have seen so much obsolete equipment that was left in place after replacement, some of it even still plugged in and running but not connected to anything. My favorite was an SCO box that beeped every day when it attempted to dial out to another server, long since decommissioned, over a phone line that was disconnected years ago.
