Mak0rz posted:You were supposed to install APPLE QUICKTIME with the game so that the cutting edge screen transitions play iirc You mean all the videos... the original Myst was a HyperCard project done with a lot of pre-rendered static background images done with ray tracing and live staged and filmed QuickTime videos on top.

Data Graham posted:Classic MacOS worked a lot like this, what with resource forks and the Type/Creator Codes. That poo poo was pretty dope conceptually. I learned about this the hard way once upon a time by trying to back up all of my sister's college essays from her PowerBook she was getting rid of by copying them directly to an external FAT drive and then to a PC thinking that was that, project completed time to format the Mac. Of course, little did I know until several years after the originals had all been erased that all of the resource forks and codes were stripped in the copying, so now all I had left was a pile of useless files that couldn't be opened anymore. One of those debts I'll never be able to repay with anything other than the coin of regret.

Police Automaton posted:Apple really does have a knack for cases it seems, the Performa 475 I have here doesn't have a single screw. You can take this thing completely apart (and put it back together) in 5 minutes with your bare hands. There are some very nice PC cases but I've never seen something quite like that, and that thing is from '93 - '94 which was a time when you could be happy if the inside of computer cases wouldn't slice your hands off. Cooling is a bit meh and so is the power supply but hey! No kidding, those pizza box Performas were a walk in the park to clean and service. Just pop the lid off, pop out the floppy drive and pop it's lid off, then a squirt or two from an air compressor and you're done. But yeah the cooling was a joke- given its shape everyone wanted to use it as a monitor stand, which inevitably blocked the only vent. I spent a summer cleaning all of the computers in my school district's labs, most of which were those pizza boxes... only issues we ever had was removing all of the trash students would cram into the floppy drives. I'll never forget having to pull a condom out of one of them. Well, that and the system 7 image we burned to a CD (at 1x- start it and go take a long lunch break!) for wiping and reinstalling all the computers having a virus on it. Unfortunately we didn't realize until several hundred of the fuckers had been kindly cleaned & infected.

I think that's called Japan- they sure do love using their faxes for everything and then some. ed: like confirming receipt of my work emails, and as I understand it most food delivery ordering is done via fax, too.

I think the justification is more like god is using you to write the responses. Like, controlling your hand and poo poo like that. Psychics call it automatic writing.

JnnyThndrs posted:I’ve had excellent results using two or three guitar picks and a decent amount of patience, probably converted/swapped batteries on ten of those old bastards. You can’t hurry the procedure though. This was the last-gen 160gb iPod Classic (video?). I had assumed it would be like the 5/6th gen which I did a long time ago but now I'm wondering if they glued the whole shebang together on the last gen or if I'm just mis-remembering how tedious it was to change the battery like I did 10 years ago... or maybe I'm just too old anymore. Anyway, had to deep-six the poor thing after all the manhandling.

Data Graham posted:I was able to point out the "AAD" or "DAD" or "DDD" etc insignias on his old CDs (indicating whether the disc was recorded/mastered/pressed [I think] in digital or analog) that apparently he'd never noticed before and he was entranced to discover something new. First letter is recording method, second is method of transfer/master, third is nature of end medium.

Ruflux posted:Not quite, it's recording, mixing and mastering. Hence why the first two can change on CDs - if the second letter meant mastering, then it'd always be D since CD mastering is digital by nature. I have no idea why I remember this, those codes were long phased out when I started actively listening to music on CDs. Probably saw it on old CD cases and looked it up once. My mistake and thanks for the correction. I never thought DDA would be a thing but nowadays we have the revival of vinyl and even cassettes but all the recording and mixing is done on a computer, so here we are. Records that have all that 128kbit MP3 warmth.

All this modular talk reminds me of that Motorola Android phone they tried to market as the brains of a modular system. Seems like it was before or around when chromebooks started appearing. I thought it sounded awesome until I tried it and realized how terrible Android was at running windowed applications.

I bought a used iPod once hoping the seller wouldn't erase it, and their collection would expand my musical horizons in every way imaginable. Waited in anticipation for weeks for it to arrive, and when it finally did all it had on there was college intro to bio lectures.
