my parents are still rocking a pre-2010 plasma. it looks great but it’s basically like having a campfire in the living room, it’s loving crazy how much heat it puts off, I want to go it a kill-a-watt on it just to see how crazy the number is.

e:^^^do you live with my parents lol

all I know is I had an oled ps vita and every time the screen went full black you could see splotches in the OLED and it bugged more more than I liked the increased saturation so I sold it

then i ran across an LCD model vita at a garage sale and bought it and black screens are just black and it no longer bothers me. I still don’t play it though because the vita has no games

I had a Virgin Webplayer that I hacked to run Windows 98, I used it as a media player in my car, since it folded down to such a small size.

when the car would start it would boot up and Winamp would start a playlist and play through a tape adapter. I later upgraded this to a USB FM transmitter that allowed me to just tune my radio to its station. this also worked in about a 500 foot radius around my car, which my friends could tune into if they were driving near me, leading them to coin it radio call sign-style, WVAN, since it was mounted in my 95 ford windstar :rip:

it was the dorkiest thing imaginable, but for the year 2000 or thereabouts, it was also really amazing.

that brings back memories. i briefly ran beos on an i-opener and whew, yeah, not a computer you actually want to use

BeOS owned though. in the days of windows 95 and 98 it ran fantastically and multitasked waaaaaay better than anything else. I loved it and used it as my primary OS for a while at college

it’s too bad their ceo got greedy with Steve Jobs. BeOS could have been OS X

I think they could have made BeOS into something equally good. remember that the early versions of OS X were pretty terrible too and other than some superficial aesthetics aren’t really too similar to modern OS X

L Computers, the vaporware desktop computer company that promised then-insane technology like a "puram" ssd and probably never shipped consumers a single unit. they did ship a computer to maximum pc that had a rat's nest wiring job and basically none of the things promised in the ads. they still raised millions from dumbass investors

that ram based ssd did come out. iirc, he who shall not be named has a video on it. the limiting factor was the pci bus I guess
