ITT: Technology they took from us
>>80337102thank god they did, that always needed cleaning and kept getting stuck
Thank god this legacy barely functioning shit is dead.Stop falling into memes, they always sucked and old ≠ better.If you really want a good fucking example of good shit they took from us, look at Windows XP and compare it to the mess that is Windows 10.
>>80337102I miss the tactile feels.
>>80337234>HDD jumperfor what purpose?
>>80337102but im using a ball mouse right now
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hv5bZXauR2M
>>80337102The perfect mouse for people who enjoy cleaning balls.
>>80338372>>HDD jumper>for what purpose?For putting drives into slavery
>>80338372for setting master/slave or cable select.
>>80338430>>80338437And what happens when you do that?
>>80337102
>>80338457your drive is either recognized as the master/slave or is dependent on its position on an ide cable
>>80337102I haven't missed ball mice one single day since they stopped making them.
>>80338457IDE cables can connect two drives to one cable. To address the two devices you need to tell the computer which device is 1 (master) and which one is 2 (slave)This only matters for the BIOS, once you boot an OS its irrelevant
>>80337102Good fucking riddance
>>80338377Where I live, we still have cars.
>>80338518well they're still being made
>>80338539For what purpose?Theyre trash
>>80338395Tried too hard.
>>80338581made from old stock i think. can find them on taobao
>>80338525>once you boot an OS its irrelevantWat. Master drive becomes hda, slave drive become hdb.
>>80338377Why does /o/ meme this car so much?
>>80337169>>80337209Fucking these. Track ball mice were fucking awful, they lasted about 6 months to a year and then shat the bed. The day I got my first optical mouse was truly a blessed day.
>>80338395I'd buy this if it were real.
>>80338651Because its bizarre
>>80338464I know it's disappointing, but new ones have a ball made of lasers.
>>80338720> see LPG> Remember who we lost.I miss him bros. I hope he's still sharing his tales somewhere out there
>>80338691I recently found the last box of floppies that I bought when I rummaged through some old boxes. I bought them in like 2005, simply because it was still the most reliable boot medium at that time.
>>80338720>unregistered lpgyou have to register that in yuroland?
>>80337169>>8033865821yo boomer btwI've always heard this meme, but don't ever remember taking apart a ball mouse to clean itthen again, I remember most public computers (at school, maybe the library) having optical or laser micethen again, my dad was an absolute clean freak growing up, and there wasn't shit for dust in my house
>Be me>Make Dubai Kept from us thread last week>see like 3 other threads in the past week with the same languageThank you it boosts my ego
>>80338418>pin 1 is the fourth-to-last pinThe fuck?
>>80337102>Technology they took from usyou mean like how we'd take the balls from the teachers' mice?
>>80338464I was disappointed how they weren't bouncy, but it was cool how much heavier they are than they look so overall 50/50 experience for 6 year old me
>>80337102this horrendous garbageif you say otherwise you are not an audiophile
>>80338346you can still touch hard drive or ssd frenyou can slide them just like that in a bay
Beige cases
>>80337234> Master and Slave are now considered hatespeech
>>80337102Ball mice were ass. They were prone to grime and dust. Good riddance.
>>80339346
>>80338372For parallel SCSI, it was determine the device ID of the drive. (Device ID #0 was reserved for the SCSI controller)For parallel SATA, it determine if the device was master, slave or cable select. In some cases, you can forced FAT16 compatibility in the day (Mainly for MS-DOS/Windows 95) at time with 4-8GiB HDDs.
>>80339346>>80339357wow, last reply made me notice I didn't even look at her tits. Am i asexual anons?
Green motherboards
>>80339393no, you are gayit's worse
>>80337102Doubling your storage was a lot easier back in the day.> what they took from us...Small operating systems. I get that in order to have ever increasing storage space they had to go from 8, to 16, to 32 and then 64 bit; but there's a certain charm to having your entire OS on a single floppy.
>>80339410But im not attracted to men either im just scared of women
>>80339400Still a thing everywhere except in gaymen pcs
>>80339452>just scared of womennigga you gay?
>le obsolete technology goodummm nahI hope they get rid of cmos batteries next, always hated this piece of ancient technology ruining my modern day hardware with it's looks
>>80339470no im not its just that when I tell others about my sexual life they say I was raped even tho I wasn't cause it was my fault. Im not gay you fucking bitch
>>80339452have sex incel
>>80339615>Im not gay you fucking bitchumad bro, stop denying the obvious
>>80339621I did but with an unattractive woman and I didn't wanted to but I was too shy to say no and when I tell people about it they say I was raped but I wasn't I simply was too shy to tell her not to.>>80339470No im not gay i'm just scared of deceiving them
>>80339660>i'm just scared of deceiving themseek help, I advice you start by buying a rope and a chair.
>>80339696I never tought i'd be saying this but people on r9k literally give better advice than you. Thats a new low, /g/.
>>80339756>he comes from r9kokay kid, time to sleep
>>80338525>once you boot an OS its irrelevantOnly one drive can transfer data simultaneously and master has priority
>>80340432That one is missing the 5.25" floppy connectors.
Sounds ass backwards, but a tractor that doesn't require an authorized dealer to maintenance. Sounds like an /o/ complaint until you read into it. Hacks from eastern Europe are required to fix or PM new JD equipment if you want to do it without paying an arm and a leg. John Deere has basically become Apple and has their customers at gun point. They even refuse to publish schematics or repair/maintenance instructions and restrict who can buy OEM parts.
>>80339575i don't get it, everything in that image good?
>>80340501That's why farmers are so in favor of right to repair.
>>80340526and yet even in right to repair strongholds JD, Apple, ect. get away with it. This type of scenario is the ultimate thing they can and do take away from us:The product we poses. As these products age, slowly(sometimes quickly), little by little(or a lot), they take away from us what we have by law purchased.
>>80340585You're quite right. The end goal is to have you consooming while owning nothing such that they can arbitrarily fleece and fuck you with maximum efficiency.
>>80338377>>80338720Is this the thinkpad of cars?
>>80337102Trackball mice are terrible. I went through elementary school in the '90s and the mice in our computer labs were always sticking or were clogged with hair and dust. Optical mice were a god send.
>>80340597Its like an old single core atom netbook
>>80340501>dad had a ford 8N when I was really little>had some mechanical issues he couldn't afford to fix so it got left in the field when we moved>he still wishes he'd kept it because nothing made in the last 20 years is remotely comparable
Who the fuck is they?
>>80339312they were never beigethats just how many people smoked cigarettes indoors back then
>>80337102I grew up with trackballs and preferred fucking rollerballs. The technology is shit, Anon. PS/2 is pretty fine, though. Nothing truly wrong with that interface as far as I can tell.>>80338459Are you referring to phones removing the 3.2mm jack? Yeah, it's some bad feels indeed. My current phone (LG G7 ThinQ) has 3.5mm but LG is leaving the phone game. It's a dark timeline.>>80341267Anon what? Older plastic components for hardware were almost always a very off-white color, usually beige or there-abouts. Sure a lot of people smoked indoors but the orangeish film from the smoke is an entirely different color.
>>80338367Just but a shitty pentile OLED if you want that garbage subpixel pattern. Any Samshit phone will do
>>80339346BOOBA
>>80340501Exact reasons why farmers in east euro are still sticking with tractors made in fucking soviet union.A. they're god damn unkillableB. can be repaired by belligerent drunk using nothing but scrap metal and a hammer

>>80337102i miss opening those mice up and using tweezers to clean those two rollers of all that lint that gets wrapped around them, now with modern mice i have to take them apart and clean the wheel and all the guts inside
>>80339249>record digitally>master digitally>drop it on a vinyl>sell to retards like you at a marginGee, anon, how come mom lets you have TWO kinds of artifacts at the same time?
>>80338903It wasn't the ball you had to clean but the bearings inside the casing that helped the ball roll. All that grease combined with dust made for some spunky mess

>>80337102This.
>>80337102Remember having to overboil eggs when you lost the rubber ball?
>>80338607Nice. I was actually wondering if you can buy a ball mouse nowadays, maybe with a scroll wheel if you're feeling fancy. Pic related was my first computer mouse and it was comfy to clean the wheels inside every now and then.>>80338658Literally lasted forever, it's demise came only when my stupid ass threw it in the bin after I bought a shitty Logitech laser mouse as a replacement. Now that piece of shit lasted literally a few months after the double click shitfest began.
I cleaned my mouse and made a tutorialhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7eFIj0F_Eyw
>>80338903The ball used to pick up sweat, dirt, dead skin - anything on your desk really and roll it into the mouse where it would collect on the two rollers and form a brown/grey waxy shell over time. You had to remove it with a cotton bud, pen lid, paperclip or whatever was to hand or your mouse would drag and you'd have an inaccurate cursor.Probably the only element of retro computing I don't miss. It was fine at home but working in an office with 4 smokers was grim.
>>80339400Even comes with USB 3.2 gen2
We could have antigravity and FTL minimum along with god knows what else if the US government wasn't hoarding it.

>>80337102fuck track ball mice to the deepest pits of hell. these things were a nightmare to use and the nostalgia fag OP needs to hang for reminding me that they ever existed.
>>80342313phat fingaz here, i agree ,fuck using touch screen to type.
>>80338426unfortunately your joke balls flat because it was the rollers and slotted wheels that you'd have to clean
>>80338426Kek>>80342315This sounds like the sort of thing Calvin's dad would say.
>>80337169Yep this, trackballs were shit in comparison to optical.
>>80342577I also had a Vladimirec T25-A, brother!
>>80343270Oh, and yes you have right, you need a wrench but also you need to know where to hit with it.

>>80337102Good riddance. They were the worst of both worlds.An actual trackball like pic related is great. And so is a modern quality optical mouse. But that abomination was always bad, you only claim otherwise because of nostalgia.

>>80340501Are there no manufacturers other than JD, or are they shit too?There's Zetor (owned by some Slovak holding, I don't THINK it's a JD rebrand but it's just a guess), but I'm not sure how shit it is and how available it is outside of CZ/SK.

>>80340625Friend's dad restores old tractors. Buys them at auction and rebuilds them. The area around his shop is full of tractors. He does sell them eventually. He's a retired business owner.
>>80344140Stop, Anon, my dick can only get so hard.
nobody that actually had to deal with that shit would remember it fondly, you fucking zoomer
>>80337102I wonder how one of those balls would feel like in ones anus
>>80338903That´s because by 2000 optical mice were widespread already, everyone saw the opportunity to stop dealing with ball mice.It helped that the Microsoft Basic was fantastic, and inexpensive. That one lasted us 15 years, give or take.
>>80344098Tractors aren't cars, surely you can find an used one in good condition
>>80337102And nothing of value was lost.
>>80337102VGH...
>>80338459Literally every device I own still has a 3.5mm jack. What the fuck are you on about?
>>80337102Ball mice were absolute shit my dude. Had to clean the rollers every couple of week and hard boil a new ball once a month.

>>80338903If you're 21, I can't imagine how you'd even have come into contact with ball mice, seeing how they were becoming extinct already when you were born.
>>80341267>they were never beigeYes they were.Some countries like Germany even MANDATED they were beige.At the time it was believed office equipment that blended in with the background reduced stress levels compared to bright equipment.
>>80342272Those weren't bearings.They were the shafts connected to the movement sensors.If they slipped even a little bit the cursor movement would become jerky.That's why you had to keep them very clean.

>>80339249did you know that vinyl records hold 400 megabytes of data? seek time and read time is horrible (~20KB a second read time, maybe 60 when on fast forward). The drivers to read data from them would jsut be linux piping audio input from them into minicom. you could probbaly build some kind of rudimentary fs for them in a weekend so its mountable in a linux environment.
>>80337102I was pretty young when we had ball mice still, all I really remember is the ball was pretty heavy and my brother used to take it out and throw it at me. Shit hurt pretty bad. Also they were always getting stuck.
>>80337102I remember classmates stealing track balls then feeding them to the retarded kids.

>>80346228Introducing Read only Random Access Vinyl, or as I've come to call it RRAV. For it to be random access you would need a way to start and stop the platter, and a way to see where to place down the needle again, whether automatically or manually. Or maybe each sector is recorded with a tone at the beginning, so once you put it down near the correct sector it will ignore any incoming data till it reaches that tone and start reading it into the computer. Then stop again with the tone at the end. Or each address is printed on the record from 0x00 to FFFF. You'd want to try to keep your data all in sequence, but if you had something in one address Not near the other, you would have the turntable stop. The terminal would read out what address it wants, then you move the head to the beginning of that address, press enter, it stops again wanting to go back to the other address you began with, you put the head there, and then you press return and it finishes loading.Or you make the disk clear, and instead of printing the addresses on it, you have a matrix of LEDs underneath the record. Wherever it wants you to place the needle it will light up that area.

>>80349904Yeah, but they also get pretty dirty and, thus, gritty /grindy. I used a Logitech Trackman Marble for several years, and I had to clean it once per week, and stopped using it altogether when the suspension nubs worn and made the ball grindy. Lubricating the nubs (I used gun oil) sort of help, but not by much.I also owned a CST L-Trac. That thing was a beast, the ball was the same size and weight as a pool ball, it took a while for my hand to get used to it, but damned that it was comfy, and the scroll roller pin and separate middle button were a nice touch. You could also select the sensitivity (it had plenty of it, much more than the Logitech Trackman). Sadly it crapped out after a couple of years of use. Maybe I got a lemon. It's a shame that CST is no more, although other company make the L-Trac but smaller. I'm using a Corsair M55 RGB mouse (IR laser), it nice and all, but I really miss using a trackball. They one I have in mind is the Kensington Slimblade. They are rather expensive since they are kinda of a niche product. I liked the Logitech one, but I had to use AutoHotkey to emulate the scroll wheel function. I don't like those hybrid mice with trackball, because they have the ball on the left side, meant for right hand thumb, but I'm southpaw. Do any of you here have experience with the Kensington trackballs?

>>80341329The ABS plastic that those old hardware pieces (PC cases, monitors, mice, printers, speakers, keyboards, etc) got yellow, then beige because of the exposure to UV rays form the sunlight. Sure, people smoked indoors, and oftentimes rested their lit cigarette on the keyboard, or PC case, leaving burn marks. People also did that a lot on arcade machines, with cigarette burn marks on the corners and buttons.
>>80344098JD are some of the only ones that make some of fuckhuge equipment required to make certain mega farms profitableThere is also a stigma against foreign brand equipment and JD is as far as I know one of the only domestic manufacturers left
>>80355542The yellowing is usually attributed to the fire retardant used in the plastics which was hastened by exposure to UV, iirc. But it pretty much always happened over enough time even if the device wasn't exposed directly to high amounts of UV. Still though, plastics for devices usually came from the factory as a beige color.

>>80356163>active adapterInto the trash it goes. I'm looking into whether you can render on your graphics card and then route analog output through a second graphics card or through onboard graphics. A surprising amount of motherboards still have a VGA port for an iGPU.

>>80350796Yes I must use a converter to connect my CRT to 1050 Ti.But at least Pascal still support interlacing signal over HDMI, Turing on the other hand removed interlacing support. So now I'm stucking with 1280x960 85Hz on 1660 Ti instead of 1440x1080i100 on 1050 Ti, damn
>>80357062A good active adapter is no worse than native RAMDAC of graphics card.

>>80358934as someone with a fair understanding of aerospace technology im just going to say that the concorde and a whole shitload of other technology were literally never viable and its unfortunate that people lament their death as a commercial technology but they were never meant to be. you will never make a fuel efficient, quiet, supersonic transport. the laws of physics are not on your side. just like you will never make a lightweight, fuel efficient space shuttle. the boomers got fed a lie hook-line-and-sinker that they would be able to smooth over the problems with the concorde 'within the next 10 years of aerospace technology' and they used it for almost 50 years straight before realizing that the advancement that would turn the business venture profitable was never going to happen.the world was obsessed with 'supersonic transports' for the decades contemporary with their obsession with 're-usable spacecraft' and both of them are basically impossible engineering feats that everyone assumed that we would just be able to overcome with technological advancements 'just over the horizon' that have yet to materialize almost seventy five years later. otherwise they were just throwing increasingly more money at an increasingly expensive and unprofitable pony projectpeople still have the fucking audacity to blame someone completely unrelated to the project for canceling it instead of accepting the reality of the situation and accepting that the Brittish Aircraft Corporation and Aerospatiale had unreasonable expectations for the project and left it going to so long they had no choice but the cancel it after everyone had gotten used to it and assumed it was legitimately profitable
>>80343930absolutely disgusting
>>80362953I agree supersonic aircraft are a dumb idea because it's a very complex problem to solve just to have someone get from A to B faster. We already are fast enough with commercial aircraft and the internet can solve the rest, ie. you don't need to get to Japan in 3 hours if you can just fucking videocall someone. It would be cool if going faster was possible, but as you said it's just not feasible and it's a huge waste of resources and I imagine you need to make everything much higher quality than a standard airplane.Re-usable spacecraft will be a reality for some years but I don't trust them being used for human transport, sounds like riding a ticking bomb. Sounds OK for supply runs.
>>80362953the reason the US military didn't mass produce the xb-70 wasn't because it was not a mature technology or because it wasn't production ready. there were very clearly outlined economic and technical issues military leadership were not confident in the plane being able to overcome which is why it took them 20 more years to finally purchase supersonic strategic bombers. if a entity as wasteful as the US military was not willing to purchase and use an aircraft basically identical to the concorde in design and performance then it makes you wonder how and why commercial british airlines were
>>80363053>Re-usable spacecraft will be a reality for some years but I don't trust them being used for human transport, sounds like riding a ticking bomb. Sounds OK for supply runs.we are just now only barely scratching the surface of the materials science and engineering required to accomplish this task in 2021 and we were trying to do it in 1955. the original design of the space shuttle had like hundreds of them being fired off into space and being re-used per WEEKin reality we had to re-tile every single space shuttle that made it back inside the atmosphere because we never had the materials science to actually manufacture re-usable heat tiles and for the entire life of the project we had the fucking audacity to call the space shuttle re-usable
>>80363104yeah thats just shitty nasa propaganda, I trust spaceX and all those niggers will achieve some actual progress, but yes it may never be 100% re-usable.
Dis lil nigga got me through 4 years of college
>>80363104>we had to re-tile every single space shuttle that made it back inside the atmosphere>that made it back
>>80363127stop blaming entities for problems you clearly don't even understand, especially when im specifically talking about the failures of decision making that led to those problems. you are trying to blame nasa for problems that nasa didn't even createthe reason the space shuttle was terrible was because the air force and the military refused to allow the project to happen without a bunch of conditionals that basically destroyed the viability of the project before it ever entered productionif it was as small as nasa originally wanted it to be and didn't have a cargo bay as originally designed, it probably would have been perfectly acceptable as a re-usable shuttle to and from the space station. the problem is that it turned from a space shuttle to a space big-rig and they dangled the ISS in front of people's noses to justify funding the project. the russians built mir and the americans built skylab without reusable spacecraft. you don't need a shuttle to build a station and yet, that was how they secured funding for the shuttle in congressnasa has shitty propaganda and always has shitty propaganda because they are forced into it by the military and don't like doing it
>>80338876Yes. And you're banned from underground car parks and such if you're registered
wall mounted mini washing machines, (can't get one here)
>>80339268Sure, but how often do you swap hdds?
>>80363296One of the space shuttle pilots described landing in it as "like flying a brick". It survived by the skills of the pilot. Great for a meritocracy but if you are going to make those diversity hiring quotas you are going to have to get the machines to do the real work.
>>80363129iPods were great, but I don't honestly miss having a dedicated music player considering my phone holds 256 GB and it's not even the top of the range model.I still have my 80 GB iPod Classic and it still works though.

Too bad copyright jews didnt want us to record their tv so it took like 10 years since the vhs was out to finally get TV recording back. In fact ive never done it since then
>>80342544For good reason. All the models show that extended use of anti-gravity technology accelerates the rate at which the earth's magnetic field inverts. Geomagnetic reversal is a potentially cataclysmic phenomenon and should not be taken lightly.

>>80348423In the US, paprika refers to the spice which I'm pretty sure is made from smoking and drying red peppers and grinding it to a powder. The actual vegetable is called a pepper though. It was called pepper because their taste reminded early explorers of peppercorns or black pepper.

>>80366615Sure, but something like a pillow already takes up pretty much my entire drum.Also I imagine the reason they had to cancel it was because centrifuging would ruin the wall it's mounted to.
