May the gigabits be plentiful and lag-free this year! Amen!

Ahh, a voice changer right where it belongs: on the ankle.

I like to read old science fiction and check out the things the authors got wrong.

Maybe my favorite is the 'mini VHS recorders' from Neuromancer.

I wanted a Dick Tracy watch so badly. Tech just decided to skip all of that and put a screen on a watch. Boo.

[–] sxan@midwest.social 2 points 2 years ago

What they really got wrong was the clothing: so much anime/hentai.

This is a techno-goth.

This is me, as long as you replace the Powerbook with a Thinkpad T420.

This was cringe even in the '90s.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Oh shit, a reference to 2600 magazine! Nostalgia bomb..

[–] v_krishna@lemmy.ml 6 points 2 years ago

I used to read it while pooping as a perl programmer at one of my first jobs

Obligatory Johnny Mnemonic:

This guy looks straight out of the film Hackers.


Also, for real, mirrorshade sunglasses never went out of style.

This image obtained with a 1990s micro camera?

[–] SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Nah, scanned with that Logitech Portable Scanner.

[–] celsiustimeline@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I'm assuming the Scan Man 32 for Mac resulted in Game Boy Camera quality images.

[–] SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

EasyTouch maxed out at 400 DPI and the 256 was 256 shades of grayscale.

It doesn't say when the original ScanMan Color came out or how many colors it had but the Color 2000 didn't come out until '96 and had a 24 million color pallette.

So, yeah, sounds about right for the ScanMan 32.

Jpeg was only invented in 1992

30 years on, that guy still had all those gadgets dangling from his belt, but now he’s the crazy old guy who lives in the junkyard

[–] pop@lemmy.ml 8 points 2 years ago

That's a lot of black to make sure the clothes glue to your skin in the sun.
