Fax machines and overhead projectors, if you live in Germany. Basically every office here still has a (frequently used) Fax machine and all schools still use overhead projectors.
It was actually quite a shock to me when my University retired their projectors in 2023. They sent an email to each and every student as a warning. Life‘s crazy here.

As a stupid american that took a few German classes in highschool many years ago, I must know, do you call it "der Projektor" or "der Bildwerfer"?

100% „der Projektor“. Bildwerfer makes sense as well, but I have never heard anyone use that word before.
It actually reminds me of the German version of me_irl (ich_iel) where they try to use German words exclusively even if it sounds completely silly.

Projectors that use actual acetates? Wow.
