🚨🦄 Thunderbirds are go! Now you can natively access the email dinosaur, Microsoft Exchange, through a client that looks like it was designed by a committee of time-traveling penguins. But hey, at least you can pretend it's 2005 with cutting-edge "features" like checking your email! 📬✨

Andrew Shaw resurrects a 20-year-old app because apparently, he thinks it's 2003 and that nobody's ever learned a new language without a cartoon bird cheering them on. 🦉✨ It's like trying to revive a dinosaur and then being surprised it's still extinct. 🦖💀

🤯 In a gripping saga of nostalgia, a brave soul spends years hunting for ways to upscale ancient video signals, achieving the ultimate dream: making a 40-year-old computer look slightly less terrible. 📺 Because who doesn't want to use cutting-edge tech to watch pixels from the '80s in glorious, blurry HD? 😂 #FutureIsNow

🤣 Breaking news from the year 1985: an alternate universe where the Commodore 64 never aged, but somehow caught up with Debian Bookworm. 🚀 Because who doesn't want Linux pretending to be a ghost from the 80s on a machine that's 99% nostalgia and 1% actual use? 😂

During the dotcom era, some people regarded AOL as the safest investment of all the 90s tech stocks. It was a somewhat older company, was an Internet provider, and gave a healthy return. For a while at least. #retrocomputing #dotcomera #techinvesting #nostalgiatech https://dfarq.homeip.net/aol-history/

Ah, the groundbreaking revelation: instead of fancy JavaScript wizardry, why not just...link some HTML pages together? 🙄 Who needs innovation when you can revolutionize the web with déjà vu from 1999? 🌐✨ Prepare for the explosive popularity of "new" technology: hyperlinking! 🚀

The Iomega Zip Drive was a revolutionary storage device introduced in 1994, offering a whopping 100MB of portable storage in an era dominated by floppy disks. Though it faced stiff competition from CD-RWs and USB flash drives, the Zip Drive holds a special place in tech history for its innovation and impact on data storage solutions in the late '90s and early 2000s.

Yesterday I saw @MASTERBOOTRECORD perform in Merleyn, Nijmegen. This is a #synthwave #chiptune band that not just adheres to 80's retro vibes, but to the #MSDOS operating system specifically. Formerly Victor Love's solo project but live, they are a trio. And it was SO GOOD! Many nods to metal hits and #gamemusic classics. 🤟

The backdrop showed a slew of assembly demo's and famous cracked MS-DOS games: Xenon 2, Lemmings, Stunts, Wolfenstein 3D... This is my youth! #nostalgiatech

I still believe in a world before Twitter because I am that old.

Question: Who still has their old gadgets around and do you still use them?

This is my travel Nokia. Lasts two weeks without charge and is still the best phone around. Probably will survive an apocalypse at this rate.
