@kansasfest so... I paid for the virtual presentations this upcoming weekend, but the discord is closed already? Where are the links for the stream, etc? The ICS calendar has no links in it.

Does anyone recognize this Kodak wired remote? I can’t figure out what it was used for. It has a 5-pin projector connector on the end of the wire but it does not work with any projector I have. I also don’t recognize that “eye” logo…

I do very want to make a multimedia slide presentation using vintage slide projectors synchronized to music etc but I have no venue to show it, or reason to make it. Maybe I should do a presentation about weird Kodak carousel tech for maker faire.

Starting to think about @kansasfest Hackfest 2024... thinking of working on my "add a proper Apple II slot to my IIc" project so that I can use (amongst other things) the ESP32 Soft Card with it... built in to my IIc... that'd be neat!

@GravityKillsSTL Not sure yet. Still absorbing. :D

@yorgle Thanks Scott! Which version do you like the best? The demo version or the album version?

I’m a bit late to the party, but the @GravityKillsSTL cover of “Personal Jesus” from 2002 is damn good!👍

@joelnet Yep. It sat right below all of the webring navs. 😬

If you know what this is, you are old.

If you’re anything like me, this is what you need to hear today to calm your brain: The 90s movie soundtrack that included the @GravityKillsSTL song “Goodbye (demo version)” is “Mortal Kombat”, and NOT a Kevin Smith film. (You’re thinking of Stabbing Westward). You’re welcome.

@akachela Apple, go home.. you’re drunk… and apparently an arsonist

@TheMekon_Venus Actually that’s misleading. It’s not an annual meeting. They only have one meeting that they all go to

Amazing.. Must have been some sort of temporal paradox.. to have so many deloreons in the same place. Some sort of multiverse time loop thing? Sounds like they need stewie griffin.😁

@RDKLInc Open it up and post a pic of the card it’s connected to. :)

Anyone know what this card in the slot is?

@hackaday I have a few iBooks with failed video chips that prove it’s not a gain for reliability. ;)

Are soldered-down parts compromising Macbook repairability and robustness, or are they overall a net gain for reliability?

@TheMekon_Venus Flat Eric!!! I have one of these guys!

This character headed up a huge brands advertising campaign, and went to the top of the music chart in the UK. Can anyone remember his name, and the brand?

@bill_older_guy @FunMovieTVFan @RealClancyBrown 100% this!!!

@FunMovieTVFan @RealClancyBrown Rawhide from Buckaroo Banzai!!!

@TheMekon_Venus I have the issue of the magazine this photo is from! It’s the premiere issue of “Home Computing”

This family can have one game to play on their computer… .. what are you sending them?

@hulkintosh @MuseumJoe I’ve been considering something like this for my Apple.. what did you do for the circuitry?

Home-made DuoDisk for the Apple II, using the shell of a dead Disk II drive and a pair of Chinon mechanisms!

Totally on a @ztrip kick now that I’ve seen him performing with LL Cool J. 😃

@ToddsNerdCave Chanukkah 1987 (I think), I got a Tandy PC-4 pocket computer. Loved that thing. When it fell apart from use (and multiple disassemblies) I got a PC-6 which got me through the rest of high school and college. :D

I saw a post somewhere in the last couple days asking what their most memorable video game related Christmas presents were. For me it was either Christmas 86 and getting the original NES with zapper and Rob the Robot or Christmas 91 and getting the SNES. How about you? 🎄🎅🎁

@djdresden On the flip side they were like “get a new $130 smart thermostat for $20, and let us meddle with your settings a little”. We went from a piece of 1980s garbage to an ecobee. :D And the things they want to adjust are like timing of when AC kicks in… which we barely use anyway.

@TheMekon_Venus @Oyabungaijin I got one of those from Burger King as a kid. It was neat! Crap photos thanks to the negative size. I took a lot of photos in 110 format as a kid. :D

@Oyabungaijin They were super cool as a kid. You only found out how bad the pics were about 3 months later when finally developed them.😁

The 110 format of film was compact. But did anyone ever manage to take a decent photo from it?
