  1. @Screwtapello Nice! I clearly remember the first Soundtracker, with the distinctive Obarski sounds he used for his Amegas and Crystal Hammer tracks.

    Not long after the first Soundtracker was released we released our SIDmon tracker, which was the first tracker to include generated synth sounds.

    Followed by its sequel, Digital Mugician:

  2. Émulation Epson FX-80, connecteur Centronics 36 broches et bruit de marteau-piqueur : le setup ultime pour imprimerRexopié le chien en 1987.
    Pas de métadonnées, pas de DRM sur la cartouche, juste du pur matériel mécanique incassable. 🐘⚙️

    En avais-tu une sur ton bureau ?

  3. New (old) toy: 5th gen black iPod video loaded it up with 788 tracks to go alongside my two nanos. It's modded to 256GB

  4. 🚀 Oh, look, a #YouTube video explaining how a 1994 brick masquerading as a "smartphone" was actually a thing. 🤦‍♂️ Because nothing screams cutting-edge technology like reminiscing over a device that had less computing power than a modern toaster. 🍞🔋

  5. Okay, this is THE freakiest CC signal I've encountered so far. It has two valid CC signals overlaid on top of each other - I can't fathom how this possibly could have happened.

    The freaky part is that both of them are sensible - one is encoding "no data transmitted", other is a valid CEA-608 command (finish caption and flip it to visible memory).

    Signal obtained from one of the tapes I screened recently at the video club.

    M Y S T E R I O U S and ~* freaky *~

  6. Behold, the pinnacle of modern technology: a quaint Casio calculator running a Telnet BBS! 🤣 Too bad the only thing you'll connect to is a 403 Forbidden error. It's like watching someone proudly surf the web with an Etch A Sketch. 📠💥

  7. Ah, yes, the pinnacle of technological regression: turning your cutting-edge RSS feeds into a quaint e-ink newspaper to avoid the horrors of a smartphone screen 🤦‍♂️. Because who doesn't want to squint at a 4.3-inch display like it's 2002 all over again? 📜📱

  8. Andros Fenollosa hilariously suggests we should relive the #1990s by serving #HTML over #WebSockets like it's revolutionary 🤯. Apparently, the cure for complex SPAs is to ditch JavaScript like it’s an overhyped boy band 😆. Who knew the secret to modern web development was to time-travel back to GeoCities-era simplicity? 🚀
