My wife’s bariatric surgery is coming up, and suddenly life looks like a 1998 hospital-themed operating system. Protein shakes everywhere. Stress hidden under sarcasm. Gen X coping methods still running outdated firmware but somehow surviving. Humanity remains one emotional blue screen away from collapse.

1993. Danish design meets early GSM. 🇩🇰📱
Dancall HP2001. One of the first portable GSM phones. Won a UK D&AD Yellow Pencil design award.
Gunmetal gray. Black accents. Walkie-talkie tough. Nordic minimalism before minimalism was cool.
A brick that made calls. And a statement that still holds up today.

Sega Game Gear... with a TV tuner? 📺🎮
I’d only heard rumors. Never seen one in the wild.
Then there it was, on a secondhand market. A chunky adapter that turned your handheld into a tiny television. In the 1990s.
Battery life? Probably measured in minutes. Cool factor? Infinite.
Anyone actually own one of these back in the day?

Oh, joy! 🎉 Now you can run a vintage OS from the 90s on a Raspberry Pi, because why use cutting-edge tech when you can relive computing's awkward teenage years? 📟 Just a quick detour through a #GitHub labyrinth, and presto, you're the proud owner of an SD card that unlocks nostalgia—exciting if your idea of fun is watching paint dry. 🖌️🤦♂️

Sony CMD-Z1
(1997)Vienas pirmųjų Sony GSM telefonų Europoje su Jog Dial ratuku navigacijai, kompaktiškas modelis su mėlynu LCD pašvietimu. Didžiausia šio modelio magija buvo atlenkiama mikrofono svirtelė. Ją atlenkus ne tik mikrofonas atsidurdavo arčiau burnos, bet ir automatiškai būdavo atsiliepiama į skambutį. Tai buvo aukščiausias kietumo lygis, kai nereikėjo spausti jokių mygtukų.
Monochrominis grafinis LCD ekranas (5 eilutės teksto), GSM 900 tinklas, 730 mAh Li-Ion baterija (iki 2 val. pokalbių, 100 val. budėjimo), Jog Dial valdymas, 99 kontaktų telefono knyga, SMS palaikymas, dydis 99x64x24mm, svoris 220g.
Parduotas kukliais kiekiais, jis tapo tikra retenybe minimalistinio dizaino ir patikimumo kolekcionieriams.

🤡 Oh, the irony! OpenAI's boasting about its "genius" AI winning the IMO 2025 while their website can't even support a web browser from this decade. Maybe they should award their dev team a gold medal in time travel to the '90s! 🏅😂

🧵 Just wrote about that legendary 2015 Hacker News thread where everyone got emotional about BeOS 😭
The OS that was too beautiful for this world: pervasive multithreading, metadata filesystem, perfect multimedia... in the '90s!
But we got Windows because "it's already installed" 📼

ToughSF thinks strapping #lasers to rockets is the next big thing in space travel. 🚀🔫 Because nothing says "cutting-edge" like the power of a 1990s laser pointer at 140GHz microwave. Maybe next they'll suggest catapults and slingshots for interstellar travel. 🙄

👶 Ah, the glory days of teen genius in '95, when crafting an OS was just a side project between listening to "Lemon Tree" and lamenting the lack of Compuserve. 🚀 Who knew that painstakingly assembling a transputer OS would one day earn the reverence and adoration of...absolutely no one? 🏆
