the turbo button
Zoomer (I think) here, experienced all of this technology.
-
And how does it felt compared to today’s programs?

That actually looks fun

>That actually looks fun
all those kinds of games are fun for about 10 minutes before you lose the will to live.
It’s been awhile for me but I suspect zoomers no longer need dedicated calculators like my ti84 anymore.
probably some sick "app" for their itoddler device or whatever cancer the kids use these days, but nothing beats a proper calculator like those that ti used to sell at insane prices.
-
When I bought it, it costed me $179. I’ll never give up my ti84. Had to buy it for my calc class waaay back in uni.
-
they great and forever useful.
-
i still keep mine on my desk since it’s more convenient than opening a calculator program half the time
i even have an emulator on my phone if i ever need to do anything complex on the go (which is basically never these days, but it’s still nice to have)
For a brief moment in the 1990s before CD burners became affordable. These were pretty neat
used to have one of these on the family pc, then dad threw it out after he got a usb drive 🙁
some applications were built on the assumption of CPU frequency and fast frequencies break them
ever had to enable vsync in a video game to fix physics because it was built for hardware that can’t render faster than 60fps? same concept

I miss this like you never imagine. Also pic related

Best boy. Still have mine, it’s close to 25 years old now. I wish that phones were built like this.

I remember the old monochrome version that was twice as thick as this.

What is this?

this confuses the zoomer

Battery used in some Game Boy games to save data

Oh ok. I’m old enough to have received an original game boy as a child, but never saw this. I only saw batteries used in games which were made for the color.

How old were you when you discovered it was created by an Israel firm (Mirabilis)? Young naïve me never even questioned why they "did it for free."
-
It was developed by Mirabilis, but operated by AOL during its entire prime time.
-
Yeah, they cashed out nicely and continued operations in Israel. Best of both worlds really.
>America Online, Inc. said
today it acquired Israeli messaging solutions provider Mirabilis Ltd. for $287 million.
>Mirabilis will continue operations in its Tel Aviv headquarters as a free Web-woke af service with its own separate brand identity. The company will be aided by AOL in the further development of its ICQ in-process technology. Mirabilis executives will report to AOL Studios President Ted Leonsis.

I still remember my very low 6 digit ID # and its consecutive digits Patrick Bateman would admire, I think i installed it within days of its public release and low ID # became something of a thing for cool cats online and my account was hacked and the ID stolen, i have no idea how to this day but the password was probably something basic so was probably brute forced, still makes me sad.

Did anyone actually fill this shit out? I feel like all the ones I have ever seen just have some sharpie written on scotch tape to mark them.

>Did anyone actually fill this shit out?
yes

that was hell common

This isn’t really "a technology" but just the entire experience of everyone watching the same television show at the same time. With the streaming stuff that doesn’t happen anymore. Its hard to explain the difference, but it was cool
-
It still happens with major sporting events.
-
The same EPISODE, just wanted to clarify
-
at least we got livestreaming still
-
yeah I think I miss this more than anything else in this thread.

you still need this shit for testing
no prof is going to let you use anything like a smart phone during testing -

I went through three of these newfangled "electronic ignition" modules in my lawnmower, each lasting barely a week, before throwing that mower away and buying an electric.
-
That’s what happens with new stuff. Should have stayed with proven technology
-
>newfangled "electronic ignition" modules
that’s literally just an ignition coil-
This piece of ancient technology, just like the joke, flies over the poster’s head…

"You are in an elevator. The door has closed behind you.
You are facing; NORTH.
>look elevator
The elevator has two buttons; One marked ‘UP’ and one marked ‘DOWN’. There is a small box on the floor, the size of a shoe-box. You can hear a scratching noise coming from the box and the lid appears to be moving slightly, showing it is not securely fixed.
>inventory
You are carrying;
the flashlight, batteries for the flashlight, the hammer, a small dog collar with the disc which reads ‘Spider’."

The "one day all type writers will be like the ibm seletric…

>seen it, but dont know wtf it does
The turbo button is used to slow down your computer clock speed. It’s useful for running an older windows titles on a much newer Windows pc -
Experienced most of these, only because i have big siss who owned n64, gamecube, CRT monitor, VHS etc.

I am a millennial (Class of 2000 and 40 this year) and the most common printer of my childhood was dot matrix. Laser printers were rare. And ink jets became mainstream when I was a teen. Also, ASCII art was the first truly digital art
-
the only one ive seen in the past five years was at a ski resort
actually used it since i had no cell service
went to voicemail of course since people dont pick up unknown #s these days due to spammers, but still, it was nostalgic-
There’s one by the cruise ship terminal in my city since tourists may not have local cell coverage when they arrive. But that’s the last one I can think of locally.
-
There are 400 working payphones in my city because a lot of pensioners dont have cellphones.

Removable batteries

I do not want to fo back to this but I have ao mich nostalgia for those days in the mid to late 90s as a teen exploring the internet with earthlink dialup. I only knew 2 other kids at school who had a PC and internet at home and we used ICQ to talk and surf and share files.

I only used one because of poverty

i actually have some 5.25" floppies lying around
i doubt the contents are still intact or in any way recoverable, but i want to try at some point
but unlike 3.5", i cant just buy a $20 usb reader, so i doubt it’ll happen anytime soon

Yes but will never experience what it was like for that soulful stuff to be new and cutting edge. Because you will never truly experience S O U L you will lack it yourself. Forever you will be empty, longing for a nostalgia you never knew.-
