How to become a shitty company.
On the left: a design from 2009, where removing the display to access the internals means releasing magnets.
On the right: a design from 2013, where achieving the exact same thing means cutting through adhesive strips—which then have to be replaced every time you open the machine.

🤯 Ah, the "Parametron," a groundbreaking piece of tech from 1954 that boldly shunned both transistors and vacuum tubes, proving once and for all that you can be #obsolete before you even start. 🚀 The article meanders through a labyrinth of irrelevant links and milestones, desperately trying to make ancient tech seem exciting—spoiler alert: it’s not. 📚🙄

Oh joy, yet another walk down the memory lane of defunct Apple hardware—because obviously, who wouldn't want to pimp out a computing relic from the Stone Age? 🚀💾 Let's spend our weekends resuscitating #obsolete tech while the rest of the world enjoys modern innovation. 😂🔧

🎮 Oh, the #32X, that paragon of #gaming #hardware, now running #Linux because why not! 🤔 Apparently, the real trend isn't Linux, but seeing how many #obsolete #devices we can duct-tape it onto while ignoring minor details like synchronization primitives. 🙄 Let's all thank cakehonolulu for this important contribution to the world of pointless #tech stunts! 🍰

Ah yes, because running a 23-year-old OS on an extinct processor architecture is exactly what the world needs right now. 🤦♂️ Welcome to the cutting edge of #retrocomputing, where the only thing older than the software is the dust on your #DEC #Alpha. 🎉🔧

Ah, the #nostalgia of trying to resurrect a game for an OS that should be fossilized by now! 😂 Dig out your floppies and dial-up #modems, because someone's determined to make "retro" synonymous with "unnecessary pain." Who cares that it's 2026 and XP is about as relevant as a fax machine? 🤷♂️

🛰️ Oh joy, another #deep #dive into #obsolete #tech from when dinosaurs roamed the planet! Because who doesn't want to spend their Saturday night drooling over 60-pound metal boxes that couldn't even out-compute your grandma's flip phone? 🤖🔧 Clearly, this riveting #analysis of ancient #shuttle guts is just what the world needed to stay awake. 💾🎉

LLM generated music
Interesting take on the progress of LLM generated music
According to SpectreSoundStudios LLMs can create better music than many people, do now, because people often try to do only super techniques for other musicians to adore, not for the listening public.
Modern (upcoming) musicians can't sing in proper tune, let alone great and can't harmonize if their life depended on it. Musicians often can't even play together and need to do seperate recording takes, meaning that they sound terrible to horrific when they do attempt to play like a real band did in the 20th century.
Those are the kind of musicians SpectreSoundStudios has had in his recording studios in the two thousands period of time.There are many caveats, to LLM created music, because the generated music sounds sterile without a human touch; imperfections are important, the feeding of energy from a drummer going a bit harder, slower or faster, makes the rest of the band tune in on that energy and it makes the song feel alive and kicking;
- Black Sabbath
- Judas Priest
- Iron Maiden
- Def Leppard
- Queen
- Slayer
all make massive songs which made the masses remember them, in awe, even fifty years later
Watch the video, so you stay informed on what LLM's are doing and succeeding in, to take over your listening pleasure, while destroying the environment we live in.
It progressed from the following
- drum machines
- samples
- tempo
- metrum
- rhythm correctors
- harmonizers
- voice correctors
To result in the total replacement of musicians in the creation and execution phase, this is more prevalent in certain genres of music, than others
I don't need to tell you how disturbing it is to watch the video and realize this is already in effect
Go, watch and learn

🤔 Ah, the glorious punch card—because who wouldn't want to browse a museum of ancient #accounting relics in 2023? 😴 It's a digital graveyard for those yearning for the thrill of #obsolete #technology and the scintillating excitement of "manuals and print matter." 📚✨

“🚨🇺🇸🇵🇭America's "Stealth Fighter" in the Philippines Is Already Obsolete”
by New Rules on Telegram
“The US Air Force recently deployed F-22 Raptors to Basa Air Base in the Philippines for Exercise Cope Thunder 26-1 — framing it as a show of force across the First Island Chain. In reality, it exposed how poorly the F-22 is suited for a Pacific conflict against China”

Ancient relic
Anybody remember these things‽ LOL. Part of the MANY things I took off my old desk and eliminating instead of returning to my new desk. I just went through the whole thing and confirmed every single card is either already in my iCloud Contacts, or is LONG obsolete. One card still had a 7xxxx,xxx format CompuServe address!!

Ah yes, a gripping tale of corporate rise and fall told through the lens of #obsolete technology—because nothing screams "captivating" like old computer chips and #aerospace #trivia 🚀💾. Ken Shirriff's blog: come for the IC reverse engineering, stay for the riveting history of things no one asked for. 📚🔍

Ich habe 2019 bis 2024 für die #Verwaltung des Bundes gearbeitet.
Seither unterscheide ich zwischen #Bedarf ("#demand") und Bedürfnis ("#need").
#Intelligenz - auch #KI bzw. #AI - adressiert Bedarf.
Für Menschen steht hinter jedem Bedarf auch ein Bedürfnis.Make or buy?
Sobald die #singularity eintritt, werden wir sehen:

Ah, yes, yet another thrilling tale about an #obsolete #iPhone feature from a decade ago 💤. Because nothing screams cutting-edge #tech commentary like reminiscing about the revolutionary two-click #YouTube #uploads 📼. But don't worry, it only took #Apple over a decade to realize no one noticed when they axed it.

Obsolete hardware
Whenever I need to run an operating system on obsolete computing hardware, I find the smallest distribution Puppy Linux comes into mind.
The last number of years Slitaz has been doing an enormously great job keeping my old hardware to chug along.Slitaz is so small it can run on RAM:
That's Amiga speak for ramdisk
