From dial-up screeches and Y2K countdowns to flip phones taking over the world to today’s AI tsunami (disaster?) reshaping everything… I’ve been on every wave. But I keep coming back to retro tech. Even when I was a child, I was fascinated by tech history, and I still am.

@brockpierson Why? If you and I follow each other and you unfollowed me.... That wouldn't change the fact that I follow you because I like your content. I don't think we need a "spite" button 😞 😆

𝕏 really should have a button that unfollows everyone that unfollowed you

@Ridhi_Diaries And that is unfortunate because Windows phones were amazing but everyone refused to use them ergo developers refused to make apps... Such an ugly cycle that ruined a great device :(

Nokia downfall started from here 📉

@s4rah_dev Oh no, tell it to go away.... I'm not a fan of any snow that I might have to go do things in... Like work or drive

me bc all the snow melted but its snowing again

@blucat2 @rushicrypto That's a lot of cash for a place that just needs to pay the hosting bill on time

@rushicrypto Wow, are you guys kidding? So many problems here, let's start with the financials. Wikipedia have over 240 million in the bank. They do not need any donations.

Has anyone actually donated to Wikipedia? Because they’ve been “about to shut down” every year for the last 5 years 😭

@s4rah_dev Omg isn't it? I really need a 3D printer so I can attempt something like this

@tommithetechie Amazing 🤩

Look at this vintage Mac SE/30 rebuilt in a custom case from MacEffects (Theyre on Kickstarter!) Since Apple won't give us clear plastic anymore maybe we can mod a Mac Mini like this, yall. #Apple #Macintosh

@RetroTechDreams This was such a fun game! It almost had me convinced to become a doctor honestly. There's a newer game (Two Point Hospital) that always reminds of this one when I play it

Theme Hospital (1997) went hard.

@RetroTechDreams This is actually strangely soothing... I have just been staring at it for a solid minute reading all of the little things.

I want every app to have a UI like Managing Your Money 2 (1996)

@s4rah_dev Yes, please. We really do.

I feel this #yeg

@s4rah_dev Goodness, that's a home defense weapon!

We are beet poasting over here 🫜 just look at this thing.

@s4rah_dev All of the real men are busy making a living and don't have time to be manosphere influencers (manfluencers? LOL). The ones acting like tools are projecting insecurities, I think, and it's not fun for any of us.

There seems to be some kind of mix up in the "manosphere" bc the manliest men I know work *with* tools, they don't act *like* tools.... It's a simple mistake, could happen to anyone, but now that you know, time to learn a trade boys.

These are more expensive than a new Mac Mini and they're used! One of coolest looking computers I've ever seen. I didn't even know what it could do when I first saw it but I wanted one just because of how it looked. Did any of you have one? Or still have one? #RetroTech #Mac

@NerdShinobi oh yes, some of them are very wild looking. I think we had a much better handle on what 'cool aesthetic' meant back then because, some of them are much more interesting than todays phones.

@tommithetechie You ever look up past computer and phone prototypes? Some of the first smartphone designs are so awesome looking.

A homemade East German PC, featuring a custom chassis. Because of strict trade embargoes during the Cold War, machines like this ran on an unauthorized, reverse-engineered clone of the American Zilog Z80 chip. #VintageTech #Hardware

@theSiliconSiren Omg thank you for the kind words! 💖 I've had kind of a bad day and I saw this pop up and I started crying 😭

Such a useful tool for those impacted by random weather related flare-ups! 💛

To anyone whose body betrays them when the weather changes: I built this tiny weather pain predictor because watching someone close to me suffer through flares hurts my heart. It's lil, but I hope you find it useful. tommithetechie.github.io/paincast/ #SpoonieLife #RA #pain

@NathanPSI Translucent is always best! I really liked the circle one, even though it was probably terrible for my hand

Where did Apple's mouse design peak? I'm personally a big fan of the early 2000s translucent ones 👌

Look at this 1994 Acorn Risc PC customized for live TV playout. According to my "sources", this once automated every single national news program on UK terrestrial TV! Did you know 90s TV news was often run by 1 desktop PC? #RetroTech #TechHistory

@TechByTaraa I've used 9 of those, but I started with regular Windows Notepad, then Macromedia Dreamweaver and then Visual Studio!

Hey devs, Which code editor did you start with and what are you using now?

@RealGameVault I really enjoyed playing this game back then.

Dino Crisis (1999)

@kmcnam1 My Outlook search breaks almost daily now :(
