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.

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

@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.

@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

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!

@DynamicWebPaige I watched ReBoot every morning. I'm sure it had something to do with my career choices later in life!
