e: i bought it from an estate sale for $35, and it had evidently been off for years because the caps were completely discharged. There's no inrush protection on these, so when i flipped the power switch on, even with nothing hooked up, my lights dimmed for a sec and it sounded like a .22 went off as the transformer did its THONK BRUMMMMM thing.

back to 100 meg disks for a sec, the syquest 135 disks came with a few demos, most important of which were marathon 1, 2, infinity and pathways into darkness and I’ve spent more time cumulatively on those 4 games than probably anything in my life.

classic mac didnt get very many games (esp compared to dos/windows) but the ones that it did get were often over-the-moon excellent

wasn't a classic mac but one of my few fond memories of my earlier school years was the teacher letting me stay inside during recess and play MDK on the classroom's imac :allears:

though there was the semi regular class playing math blaster and oregon trail and poo poo on the old rear end apple IIs tho

I remember buying one of the first DVD-ROM drives around '97 -- it was the Creative... DXR2? Software MPEG2 decoding was out of the question back then, so everything had to occur through a hardware-accelerated expansion card:

loving owns. our gateway had a tvtuner expansion card, i remember watching digimon on it after school cause the main tv in the house was always busy. still can't believe my parents were assed to actually run a coax cable to the pc

I am nice to everyone I can be, although I admit it comes from a place of godawful self esteem, I cant deal with thinking someone might be displeased or disappointed with me even if they’re a stranger I’ll never see again, and if you’re nice to someone they might smile or something which gives me a modicum of self worth for a fleeting moment

A wikidive led me to this device: the Ben NanoNote. A "pocket computer" from 2010 based on OpenWrt(!), with a 336 MHz MIPS processor, 32 or 64 megs of RAM, a 320x240 color displays, and IEEE 802.15.4 WPAN (the same layer 2 as Zigbee) as its only wireless connectivity. As Wikipedia puts it "reviewers praised its small size and low cost (US$99), but also criticized the device for its initial lack of any networking capability and for its extremely modest data storage and RAM capabilities in comparison to other contemporary devices."



this is the funy tech poo poo thread not the awesome tech poo poo thread
