Sininu posted:How is that easier than just copying the link? Because image-based sharing apps have exploded and the easiest way to attach images to those apps is to just upload them like they were another photo taken with the phone/device.

Also people are generally just saving images to their devices and don't have the original links anymore, so they distribute it from their device, someone else receives the image directly sans link, saves it to their device, and the cycle continues.

Sometimes I think they could have pulled something cool with this tech if the actual instruments and resulting songs didn't sound like barely lukewarm poo poo. edit: This was my fave: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mg0l7f25bhU Last Chance has a new favorite as of 01:15 on Feb 23, 2018 |

Mr.Radar posted:Vintage technology Youtuber Druaga1 recently posted a poll to his viewers to ask them what his next video should be. One of the entries was meant to be "install Windows ME in a VM on Windows XP" but he got the versions backwards and that ended up being the winner. To his credit, he tried and eventually succeeded in installing a Windows XP VM on Windows ME: that's awesome

For some reason I don't think Porn was as big of a deal on Blu-Ray as it was on DVD. I have no evidence or citations to back this up, it's merely a gut feeling.

No no, you see apple is doing it for aesthetic reasons only (so that the card looks good), not for security or other modernization efforts

Arsenic Lupin posted:In the 1950s, people worried a lot. (I wonder why?) One of the things they worried about was that watching TV in a dark room would cause eyestrain. The solution? The TV lamp. It sat on the top of the TV and cast a dim glow on the wall behind it; this supposedly protected your eyes by lowering the contrast between the bright TV and the room, without making it harder to see the TV. Wow, that might explain a couple weird old lamps I found at my grandparents’ house when we were cleaning it out. They had one very similar to that owl one and it seemed completely useless

galagazombie posted:But the dual shock is just an SNES controller with two sticks badly bolted on, if anyone is copying anyone it's not Nintendo. Which kinda brings it back around to everyone copying those "phone keypads with a joystick" controllers. No one has done anything but copy Nintendo controller wise since the NES came out. The Genesis/Mega Drive is basically just an NES controller with a third button awkwardly added on the end. And the the SNES "perfected" the design with the diamond face buttons and triggers. Everything since then has just been a debate over the shape of the handles. Xbox controllers? SNES design. Steam controller? SNES design but oh look the Dpad is a lovely touch pad now! The Switch? An SNES controller you can attach to either side of an iPad. Ironically Nintendo is the only group that ever tried to do something besides the SNES controller. The N64 is an awkward attempt to be multiple controller at once, and the Wiimote is self apparent, but even those were abandoned pretty fast. Didn’t Sony do the analog stick and rumble features well before Nintendo attempted them with the N64? Those features were a pretty big deal. “Bolting on analog sticks” seems obvious now, but at the time it was pretty unique/

Fair enough, for some reason i thought dual shock controllers were older. Probably because I owned a PS1 first and much later bought a N64
