I got one of those as a teenager as a gag gift. I used the cigarette lighter once or twice for shits and giggles, and I'm pretty sure that was responsible for my PSU dying not too much later.

I'm might use one of those photo kiosks to send some photos with a gift, so they still have a niche purpose I think. I have a color inkjet at home with only a black cartridge in it because it's not great for photos and it's only used for taxes and tickets.

CEDs are tough to keep in good shape. You have to make drat sure to keep them vertical, and I dont think the prior owners of mine did. Otherwise, if you stack them horizontally, they're so loving heavy that the thin caddy walls will give way and scuff the discs. Most, if not all of my discs are afflicted to some extent.

It's really odd, but I was sold duplicate CEDs as well

I used to love that site. Imagine my surprise when Vinesauce posted a video of a generic-looking game pack and it turned out to be a bundle of those old ezone games! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ygdvtSClcwA

VM software? Ehhhh, not really... Stuff like DOSBox and PCem can do it with varying degrees of success.

Porfiriato posted:Some guy on Reddit used a Raspberry Pi and a floppy drive to build a "VCR" that can play a full-length feature film on a 3.5-inch disk: I deeply appreciate him using the Selectavision intro for this. It reminds me of trying to watch streaming video over 56k, except it's quite a bit better.

Assuming you probably did this already, but in case you haven't: Swap the surface-mounted caps and you might not need the laser. Fixed skipping issues for mine.

I guess I don't get what's so egregious about the latest Firefox UI changes that made everyone so mad.

Arsenic Lupin posted:I find it hard to distinguish the tabs now, because there's no contrast between their borders except on the currently selected tab. Yeah, that's fair. I never noticed because I compulsively close inactive tabs and only ever keep several at a time.

3D Megadoodoo posted:The best interaction I've had with an engineer was with one who kept calling me and asking about the stuff he was working with. One time I told him I had no idea what some doo-dad was like, as we'd never had it in stock, and he got mad and said I was supposed to know so I said "no, you're the engineer responsible for this system, you're supposed to know" and he stopped calling me. (Just for clarification: he was supposed to know, it was his loving system.) Software developers do the same with me. "Hey, can you tell me what this stack trace means?"
