Powered Descent posted:The full video that comes from is certainly something. I'm not sure quite what, but it's something. Lest we forget the Mother of All Demos. Full Demo: https://youtu.be/yJDv-zdhzMY Highlights: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLCGFadV4FqU193yw84Q_5u35aCl25f6ru In ~90minutes this demo from 1968 showed off
The whole "collaborative" concept really did not kick off until the world decided everyone had to stay home. Thank you, Douglas Engelbart Thangelbart

I love that video phone calls were second only to flying cars in the “coming any day now” and “wildly futuristic” categories, we got that technology delivered to us, it’s easy, quick, and works great, and everyone is like “ew, don’t FaceTime me, call me if you must, but I’d really rather you text me” They delivered us the future and we hate it lol

I hate Facetime but I started using it with my Dad to help him feel less isolated and make it easier for me to see if he's taking care of himself. Sometimes when I call he gets confused and thinks that it's a voice call and holds the phone up to his ear so I get a nice closeup of his ancient man-ear and hearing aid.

do you think they put the "Heroes and Horrors" thing on the screen because everybody in the test groups thought the kid was saying "heroes & whores"?

Mak0rz posted:This is only 64 megabytes. Correct. I count 20x5x5 == 500 cards, and PS1 stock memory cards store 128kB each. So just shy of a total of 64MB. As an ex-PS1 programmer, those drat cards were the worst things to work with. Mostly because it was necessary to write your code to conform to Sony's strict and lengthy Technical Requirements Checklist, which dictated how your program was supposed to behave if (say) someone pulled the memory card out mid-save, or disconnected a controller mid-game. It was super tedious to write that code and often handed off to an intern. "Welcome to the games industry kid, before you get to be Chief Game Engineer on Final Fantasy XVXIC, pay your dues by writing this god-awful and unexciting code."

Most of those aftermarket ones with the aforementioned lump on one end were 1mb+ cards.

Reading classifieds for used computers back in the early-mid 90s was fun, people selling their C64s and Amigas and it was always some variant of "comes with 200 games (4 original)"

On a related note I think the SID on my C64 has kicked the bucket. As a total purist none of the modern clones will suffice, so I'm going to have to roll the dice getting a used one from Eastern Europe.

Remember when the PS2 first came out, where you had to use the massive string for Memory Card (8MB) (TM) for Playstation 2 (TM) on a maximum of 640 pixels width screen, and you'd fail TRC for the slightest inaccuracy. *shudder*

Or did some HAVE artwork, but what few I've ever seen just didn't because the studio cheaped out?

Was there something about the writing/reading of them that necessitated it be the "blank" disc on the top? Laserdiscs could play 30 or 60 minutes per side depending on the recording format, so they typically used both sides to keep the disc count down.
