I was the first kid with a computer in my neighborhood and was tech support from the age of basically 7.
I remember when I was like 9 years old I figured out how to hook our n64 up to our old ass tv that didn't have a component input but at this very old like y-fram screw in thing because I found an old adapter of that type from some old video camera we had in the garage and my mom thought I was a genius.
We've literally just been plugging things into the things where it fits or matches the color for decades now.
