May the gigabits be plentiful and lag-free this year! Amen!

Ahh, a voice changer right where it belongs: on the ankle.

Never leave hacker home without your torque wrench

[–] SuiXi3D@fedia.io 8 points 8 months ago

A torque wrench and no soldering iron?

[off topic]

I like to read old science fiction and check out the things the authors got wrong.

Maybe my favorite is the 'mini VHS recorders' from Neuromancer.

I wanted a Dick Tracy watch so badly. Tech just decided to skip all of that and put a screen on a watch. Boo.

[–] sxan@midwest.social 2 points 8 months ago

What they really got wrong was the clothing: so much anime/hentai.

This is a techno-goth.

This is me, as long as you replace the Powerbook with a Thinkpad T420.

[–] realitista@lemm.ee 12 points 8 months ago (2 children)

This was cringe even in the '90s.

Oh shit, a reference to 2600 magazine! Nostalgia bomb..

[–] v_krishna@lemmy.ml 6 points 8 months ago

I used to read it while pooping as a perl programmer at one of my first jobs

Obligatory Johnny Mnemonic:

This guy looks straight out of the film Hackers.


Also, for real, mirrorshade sunglasses never went out of style.

This image obtained with a 1990s micro camera?

[–] SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Nah, scanned with that Logitech Portable Scanner.

[–] celsiustimeline@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I'm assuming the Scan Man 32 for Mac resulted in Game Boy Camera quality images.

[–] SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

EasyTouch maxed out at 400 DPI and the 256 was 256 shades of grayscale.

It doesn't say when the original ScanMan Color came out or how many colors it had but the Color 2000 didn't come out until '96 and had a 24 million color pallette.

So, yeah, sounds about right for the ScanMan 32.

Jpeg was only invented in 1992

[–] AllNewTypeFace@leminal.space 9 points 8 months ago

30 years on, that guy still had all those gadgets dangling from his belt, but now he’s the crazy old guy who lives in the junkyard

[–] pop@lemmy.ml 8 points 8 months ago

That's a lot of black to make sure the clothes glue to your skin in the sun.
