@NanoRaptor I choose to believe that it's just a massive CRT.

@NanoRaptor This design would at least justify a $1000 stand.

@NanoRaptor maybe if they’d used all that space for something useful like expansion slots but no, they had to go and weld the damned thing shut.

@NanoRaptor do I have to flip it 4 or 6 times to be able to plug it in?

@NanoRaptor
Swiss-made?

@NanoRaptor pretty sure you gonna have to plug it trice before you plugged it correct way

@NanoRaptor @jsr
Does this include Taylor Swift?
Can she make decisions about song choices, tours etc. or must this be solely up to her record company now because she has too much power.
Maybe more nuance is required than legislation by slogans provides.

@NanoRaptor @jsr I also like my friend's edit

@NanoRaptor 🎶Levono his war wound like a crown
He calls his child “Thinkpad”

@NanoRaptor perfectly normal POIUYT keyboard layout, I don't understand what's been changed in this one

@NanoRaptor I love that you have to clarify that this weird old computer is actually real 😆

@NanoRaptor
If you’re trying to make April the month of Commodore (after March for Macintosh), I’m so here for it!

@NanoRaptor I picked up a regular 128 a couple months ago. It's pretty darned sharp in its own way.

@NanoRaptor For me it was VFDs. I could tell the VCR’s display wasn’t LCD or LED, but nobody seemed to know what it was and I had no idea what to search for.

@NanoRaptor technology was cool before it got so ordinary

@NanoRaptor

I'm guessing Nintendo's Watch and Play would've blown your mind ☺️

@NanoRaptor i want one

@NanoRaptor i have a sudden need

@NanoRaptor Users traded tips on safely accessing the extra drives, since too much threatening could cause the Mac to eject the disks at high speed in self defense.

@NanoRaptor people laughing at this have never been hit by a 3.1/4 inch disk traveling at near supersonic speeds.

@NanoRaptor that looks like it has a lot of space for drives inside. I wonder if you will run out of room, SCSI IDs or power first 😂

@NanoRaptor I agree, also they've been fed a diet of "perfect" from Hollywood for so long they don't know "real" any longer.
The whole world needs a big "reset" button :)

@NanoRaptor I always have to remember the experiment of a man who raised a chimpanzee together with his child. The goal was to make have the chimpanzee mimick human behavior and therefore develop like a human. In the end his own human child mimicked parts of the behavior of the ape and fell behind in their development.

The Human was the better monkey.

Humans are so good in adapting to situations that we just adapt to bad ML being the normal reality instead of trying to adapt the ML to humans.

@NanoRaptor @lisamelton Even if the mayo was fresh, I think eating a whole jar in one sitting would still give me a fever dream.

@NanoRaptor @kbob is that you, Clippy?

@NanoRaptor -biblicallyAccurate or bust!

@NanoRaptor Xeyes for AVP!

@NanoRaptor You can’t tell because the room it’s in is an entirely featureless pure white with no obvious source of illumination, but Powder Macintosh is actually sitting on top of a mirror.

@NanoRaptor Expensive habit.

@NanoRaptor

I heard a truckload got wet in Oklahoma. The resulting explosion of suddenly-rehydrating Macs devastated the neighborhood.

Limits on volume transport imposed to prevent a recurrence killed the product.

@NanoRaptor, wait is this a real piece of hardware? Quad processor?

@NanoRaptor I changed out all the fans and the thermal paste on my Dual G4. Still isn’t exactly quiet; pondering more extreme measures.

@NanoRaptor crap I need to do that…

@NanoRaptor

@NanoRaptor ...create app that somehow makes children obey their parents? Like Pokemon GO, but with a leveling system based on parental happiness points?

@NanoRaptor Times are good. Children no longer obey their parents and everything's an app.
(Obedience is the other side of oppression, and apps make life easier.)

@NanoRaptor It is beautiful

@NanoRaptor

This is still a sharp looking system. Maybe someone will actually build it one day 🙂🤷‍♂️

@NanoRaptor wow, i had no idea wayland had such a feature, truly this is the end for x11

@NanoRaptor And why not a full scroll wheel!? I don't know why Apple hasn't tried it yet!

@NanoRaptor could use some help from tesla — two rollers with left-right axis, but one for scrolling up & down, while the other for scrolling to sides

@NanoRaptor wait could this actually work

@NanoRaptor
{roflmao!]

@NanoRaptor "Magneto-Optical illusion"

@NanoRaptor The prototypes used CRTs.

@NanoRaptor The extremely rare NeXT Guitar Effects Pedal Box and Workstation

@NanoRaptor beautiful

@NanoRaptor Ah, the 20th anniversary NeXTstation!
Also had an external subwoofer.

@NanoRaptor 😥

@NanoRaptor I've seen several regular VGA cables with bent pins. This would've been a nightmare to keep straight.

@NanoRaptor I’m messing around with Cisco HD-60 cables right now and they are frighteningly not that dissimilar.

The bent shell on the picture in the seller’s website really drives home the reliability and robustness.

@NanoRaptor@bitbang.social

Oh my I really miss that!
ALL the best Mac features were shareware in the first place.

Anybody remember the premium bits being in a password protected archive?
You just paid via Kagi Software.

Apple bought them out a lot of the time - so annoying.
Aladdin especially.

@NanoRaptor This would absolutely win me over.

@NanoRaptor i highkey love this

@NanoRaptor yeah, but did you ever spend 3hrs trying to get them to work only to find one was green and the other was amber

@NanoRaptor Now do Thunderbolt / USB-C

@NanoRaptor holy shit i need one of these
