Apple prototypes (1995), photo from Macworld. It's like the iPhone C version of the Newton. #RetroHardware via Retro Tech Dreams from Twitter On November 27, 2003, Sony introduced the Premium Series Doko Demo Issyo SCPH-10020 KA White PlayStation 2 Memory Card. #RetroHardware via Obsolete Sony from Twitter   The analog technology is forgotten about as a relic of the past. Take this light meter for example. Light enters a photocell and changes the magnetic field of a galvanometer. This indicator (a small sticker really) is then projected off of a 45* mirror, through a condenser lens and suspended on a beam splitter (a two way mirror essentially) and appears magically in front of your eye, superimposed onto your field of view. #RetroHardware via Brian Roemmele from Twitter I remember cutting and editing audio tapes. Actually cutting them with a razor and taping then together with special tape. It may seem like a joke, in reality the zinc batteries of the time did not contain particularly harmful substances and were not sealed like today's alkaline and lithium batteries, which would explode, releasing highly toxic substances. via Brian Roemmele from Twitter  @johnmacintosh
It would be great to have similar technology in our time, especially with something like lithium-based batteries 👀 “NASA finds clue while solving Voyager 1's communication breakdown case” #Space via Brian Roemmele from Twitter https://www.space.com/voyager-1-communications-update-fds-memory-issue The over 2,000-year-old Disco Colgante is an object that was produced for unknown reasons. In fact it may be far older than 2000 years old with some very new evidence. There is much speculation on what it was used for. #PastTimes via Brian Roemmele from Twitter @johnmacintosh the Pre-Astronauts will love this. I do. ;-) It always has to do with Atlantis. But it also looks like agent tech from Stargate. ^^° Ancient Circular Stepped Pyramids. The Zona Arqueológica de Teuchitlán, also known as Guachimontones in Jalisco, Mexico. There may be 100s around the world. via Brian Roemmele from Twitter Carlo Ponti and his wife, Sophia Loren, 1966. #PastTimes via Brian Roemmele from Twitter |
Now I wonder, do they have an actual replica of Voyager somewhere in NASA HQ? 🤔
There must be one, otherwise how do you even manage to do all this stuff without testing
