It’s certainly hard to tell. I do think it could possibly be a USB Type-B connector though. Remember those? Cables for things like this would often have a chunkier squarish plug on the peripheral side (and the common flat kind on the computer side).
Yes, that’s definitely a USB-B socket. AIUI the original intent of the standard was to have the computers all used type-A sockets (the flat ones that have become most common) and peripherals all use type-B, so all cables would be A to B to enforce the intended systems hierarchy and prevent connecting incompatible things together. This would have been fine had the clarity between types of device remained as it had been through the 80s and early 90s, but things got messier, devices got smaller, smartphones became a thing, hence the mini and micro and now type-C connectors.
FFS, Steve. Do you bat for the other side or something? Even if you don’t like her personality you’re getting a free look at a TOTALLY NAKED WOMAN. Just go for it!
I don’t normally notice other small details when there’s a naked woman in the picture, but on expanding the picture to read “Steve’s” word I spotted a used ashtray on the desk. Wonder where and when this was taken? The company I worked for banned office smoking in the mid 90’s as part of our t&c’s and the UK government officially made it illegal in 2007.
A lot of these pics seem to come from Eastern Europe, which hasn’t been as quick to ban smoking. On the other hand, Steve’s also got a CRT monitor, so this might well be pretty old.
The printer is connected by parallel port, although it does have a USB port too. So I’d say this is probably taken some time between the mid 1990s and mid 2000s if it was in the UK or US, maybe a little later if it was in eastern Europe.

That’s no USB port, probably a power plug. There’s also a Ethernet? Port or phone – so maybe a fax machine.

yep – usb-b.
