Krispy Kareem posted:When USB first came out I pictured daisy-chaining up to 127 devices as literally connecting half a dozen devices in a line, input to output to input. Obviously hubs are a whole lot more practical, but my FireWire drives do have two ports for that purpose. Probably because no one has enough FireWire devices to need a hub. Back in like 2001 I had a Maxtor USB hard drive that had a normal USB port on the back to plug another thing into, I used that a lot.

I remember wanting this back in the day. It plugs into your Playstation and then you can (presumably very poorly) play MP3s from a CD.

Phanatic posted:There's more to it than that. You're assuming that each chip can do one operation per clock cycle, and then concluding that since the 8088 ran at 4x the processor speed that it was 4x faster.

I mean, Intel was making 386 processors until 2007.

Rap Game Goku posted:Oh yes, I wasn't sure if the physical discs were still around. Seems like something that would get dumped in a landfill pretty quickly. I know nothing about the technical aspects, so I don't know how difficult it would be to pull the data off of them (not that other ways to get at that don't exist). i used to see them at thrift stores sometimes. as far as i know they haven't been cracked or anything so there is no way to play them now. all the movies are available on other formats so there's really no interest in cracking it, i guess, but i thought someone would have done it already at least for the challenge

Some sort of mechanical sliding letters? i found a video of one - NSFW (nudity) https://imgur.com/D36nODM looks like a polarization filter or something that rotates along with the second hand
