  1. Behold, and harken! When I was a wee child, this was my Google.

    Its firmware was not upgradable, it needed no charging and was always on.

    Dewey, the lord of Decimals, had a system, and it _was_ good.

    Encyclopedias were our more formally fact-checked Wikipedia. Microfilm and microfiche the optical technologies we used to access compressed information.

  6. VLOG : cassettes vraies, fausses, normales et bizarres

    J'achète régulièrement des cassettes audio sur les sites de seconde main. Beaucoup sont très classiques, d'autres sont... particulières !

  11. Hubby is downsizing his vintage tech collection, and here is another piece of ancient tech I'm helping him sell on eBay, US shipping only

    if you're interested in vintage, I suspect he would be open to an offer

  16. Do the calculation
    I have accumulated quite a collection of calculators over the years, for school, for work, for fun. So long as the modern grid keeps going, they all work. But, maybe I should review the slide rule instructions, just in case. No batteries, no power, no internet. Just works.
    Here's a thought: will all calculation be done by AI in the future and, how should that figure in to math education? Teach analog technique.

  17. Genuine question I keep coming back to: if your favourite old OS had never been discontinued and just kept getting developed normally by their OG devs with proper modern hardware support, security patches and so on, which one would you actually want to daily drive today?

    For me it's a tossup between Windows XP and Windows 7. I used both of them a lot when I was younger and honestly they felt basically the same to me at the time, but Windows 7 always seemed a bit easier to navigate.

  22. I never get tired of giving #OldTech a new life.

    But now the battery says Charge: 9.6 Wh (31.1%) condition: 30.9/30.9 Wh (100.0%) power because this battery 🪫 was original but was replaced with a new, genuine $17ish battery. (I long for yesterday and its snap-in replacement batteries!)

    I also ordered some matching (but #EOL) #Crucial #DDR4 #RAM because this old broad only has 4 GB in it, but goes to 8. Sad it was like $55-60 but hey. 🤷‍♀️ I should get another 2-3 years min out of this laptop 🌟.

  23. 🖥️ J'allume enfin l'iMac G3 !

    J'allume ENFIN l'iMac G3 M5521 de 2001 que j'ai trouvé l'an dernier dans un vide-grenier ! Est-ce qu'il fonctionne ou est-ce qu'il explose ?

  28. @imthehumanoid And actually, it's the simplest and most brilliant design. A Muvo 100. Basically a USB stick with a soundcard and a headphone jack, run by a single AAA battery. No ads, no upgrades... And still works many years later.
