@HeyZohaib you can get related feels via the RTX-raytracing effects version of quake 2 that's on Steam (if you have a RTX video card)

@tedder42 apparently there were some LS-120 digital cameras: "A SuperDisk drive was used in two Panasonic digital cameras, the PV-SD4090 and PV-SD5000"

This also prompted me to suddenly remember that I (at one point) had a Jaz drive and the LS-120 (internal IDE) as well. https://t.co/CTO9MFhk7t and https://t.co/wI9A9Zx0bD

@jeff_hanna there's a color extension in the wikipedia entry for QR codes as well: https://t.co/8ar6ebtkez

@Pinboard I'm sorry you come from a resting bitch face culture https://t.co/wkE1PTSCS2

there was a 50ways.exe on one of the Zip disks, because I love viruses, I of course clicked on it and executed it https://t.co/4rdP8eLS7C

@burtonachitect https://t.co/1KViUFHn70

oooo I can certainly see why this particular folder wasn't copying https://t.co/IAIlL6if1C

here is what "fits" on a 100 megabyte Zip Disk. This.. this.. is what I thought was worthy of archiving circa 1998. 🤣 https://t.co/Dy1fcYXOfZ

Thanks to @Foone I can now read these! https://t.co/Iu87nK57D1

@jeff_hanna Yeah color would add literal and figurative bit depth. I remember it!

I still have that CueCat by the way

@lizardbill the doubleshot green does push it over the edge to complete awesomeness though. And my more perfect brown is a sparkly metallic brown. 😍

@lizardbill Honestly? I've always loved brown as a color. I think that's way more controversial than "liking pink".

@dholth "Unless you’re a boy cat and you’d like to use it for sex." 🤣

@johnolilly with that context, my mind read the words behind the speaker as "back, you fucker"

@galo2099 @mattly @Pinboard We have a fingerprinting anti-troll plugin for Discourse we built to experiment with this. It is _kinda_ possible on desktop / laptop / Android but basically impossible on iOS. If you'd like to work on it let me know, we sponsor work like that from time to time.

@aidencoder Audis are tedious

@galo2099 @mattly @Pinboard Hmm. That is fascinating. How? Was a phone number attached?

@mattly @Pinboard obvious question, perhaps, but why even have an account there?

@SpeakingBee @mirza are they? 🤔

@siracusa 🙏

@tgibriday @ID_AA_Carmack TVs often don't have a constantly shifting picture. News tickers, sports "outline" UI, and so on.. quite common. Modern OLEDs do sophisticated things to avoid this, e.g. https://t.co/l0nGjD0TWd

@DocPop @MerriamWebster this is fun. Here's my birth year. Spork! Newbie! Nunchuck! Punk Rock! XRated! 🤘 https://t.co/IefQsc5L5f

@swombat @jwz @migueldeicaza 🤷‍♂️

@jetx86 @ID_AA_Carmack @sbarnea actually I kinda take that back. Even on laptops which tend to be 14-15" displays max you notice the lack of "retina". At least I do. There's no going back to low-dpi..

@pgayed hasn't really changed since this blog entry.. https://t.co/s4L2qFdzG1

@How2Drink @NathanBowers https://t.co/qzp3VuH5R3

@sarahjeong all true, and the primary difference (at the time, and kinda still) is that Facebook was "private / login required for visibility by default" and Twitter was "public / everything visible by default"

If you haven't read this article 👆 I highly recommend you do. It's quite .. something.

@jwz @migueldeicaza but seriously I'm gonna go for the pro max if Trump loses. If Trump doesn't lose, well, I'll go with my existing plan and curl into a fetal ball and patiently wait to die

@jwz @migueldeicaza at least they got rid of that pesky floppy drive, I mean, headphone jack https://t.co/lI1lmmz66F

@Pinboard it has become so much easier to donate to these now that I am (cough) "unemployed"

@jwz @migueldeicaza the crack part for me is how their A{xx} SoC silicon is so FUCKING GREAT. It's like literally the only part of Moore's Law that is still working right now. (well except GPUs but to me those are kind of a different thing)

@avinashbhat that's all @JasonPunyon, I'm not smart enough to use R

@maxgashkov Hmm, that shouldn't be the case, unless as you noted the site admins have selected some unusual non-defaults

@JDScholten @Pinboard get 'em J.D.!! 🥇

@maxgashkov You'd always be able to _post_ as a new Discourse user. The main new user limitation is that you can't post over and over and over etc. See: https://t.co/ZT2lmjz1XU

and the winner is... @ssmyd 🏆 -- congratulations, and thank you very much to everyone who donated for your generosity! (and a stealth thanks to @JasonPunyon for entry selection magicks) https://t.co/2CB5hPvAFK

OK! All closed up, thank you for all the generous donations, will tally soon. May RNGesus smile upon us all.

Closing this up in 2 hours, last chance to enter 🤓

@JacobEthanWhite @superwuster Apple fuckin' hates Intel and always has. It just takes the time it takes to scale their own silicon.

@iragsdale @superwuster agree!

@Pinboard easy mode democracy is FOR THE WEAK

@JacobEthanWhite @superwuster nothing substantive will change until they get on their own (extremely impressive, by the way) silicon. A14X and A15X absolutely crush Intel on a perf per watt basis. Like, it's not even close.

@JacobEthanWhite @superwuster They *might* care marginally more once the laptops are on A14X or A15X. Which will be .. impressive.

@superwuster time to face facts: Apple doesn't really give a shit about laptops any more. And honestly seeing A12, A13, A14.. plus the sales of iOS devices .. I can't blame them.

@Beschizza that does not square with what Wikipedia says about it https://t.co/owiWAe7Fh9

@ID_AA_Carmack I am still pissed off that I don't have reasonable OLED computer monitor options in 2020

@blacksheepcode I am liking https://t.co/g4EDyPTtgZ quite a lot for the "let's mint brand new coders from scratch" goal, bear in mind this was *never EVER* a goal for SO! cc @amasad

@__kej I mean within the same question, there can be several highly voted answers ;)

@blacksheepcode well yeah, it's not designed for beginners / new-to-programming folks, and has a strong wikipedia flavor. Elaborated on here https://t.co/QpiBf849bw

@stevesi @cohix @patrickc @levie yeah the complete and utter failure of all Android tablets is a ginormous "here be dragons" sign

(that plus, "there's always more than one way to do it")

@stevesi @patrickc @levie Another relevant question: what happened to the whole idea of "docking" your phone to a giant display, keyboard, mouse, etc and using it as your primary computer when you are sitting at a desk? 🤔

@arstechnica If you’d like to migrate to @discourse let us know, we can help!

@lazdnet @BruceBatman12 Disagree. 3D is a gimmick, and it‘s heavy, uncomfortable, and awkward to use. Let’s see what happens in the next 15 years. I think that’s the absolute minimum time to produce something more than the Apple Newton level products out there now.

@pantse_macabre @siracusa Not until I get my goddamn Zocchihedron in there

@johnolilly Supposedoh raised by wolves has a very bad last episode so be warned

It’s this app and it is great https://t.co/zQUfp6i3rV

@lazdnet You can add 3D tv to that list as well

@SittenSpynne I think AR moves the goalposts a lot closer for sure

@lazdnet So did Kinect, Wii, and Guitar Hero.. for a while.

@JasonHise64 even more decades off, but perhaps!

@stevemconstrux @JohnBurant covidcomplete 🤣

@ACrunchyCaptain @chetfaliszek VR has no future, not in this decade anyway

@TedDennison no one likes a braggart TED

@TedDennison I actually had both. Checkmate, TED

@siracusa this is a far more important skill than "programming", for the record

@df07 @heap I do not see a studded glove David

@DocPop @rrmutt @Steenaire beautiful

@textfiles ah good idea I didn't see that option. Done! (cumulative)

@textfiles yep this one is local to me, have contributed before, will do so again now

@stevesi It is definitely superior to the comic it is based on. They did a good job on this one!

@tqbf these punk kids need to stop vaping and start voting.. we gotta bring back MTV's Rock the Vote, WHATEVER IT TAKES

@danielpunkass @AmyJane not disagreeing in any way, but the house would not have flipped and with republicans in control of every other branch of government, it would have been a complete shitshow in a different dimension. Including impeachment.

@danielpunkass @wilshipley Even back then I had a lingering suspicion that the first black president immediately followed by first woman president was a bridge much too far, much too fast, for a large percentage of america. 😭

@jwz Wow.

@Pinboard the good news is that people are living longer and longer! Oh wait, my mistake, that's actually the bad news!

@Pinboard @brianvan @jwz @tqbf I guess the winter of my discontent is that "unsubscribe" is quite easy and straightforward for emails (ironically?) but FAR harder for texts and actual phone calls. I'm with you on the email thing being easy. It is.
