Thread 939451262

I've come across a lot of liars on the internet who promote technology that's not as good or as available as they say it is, beware of YouTubers 4chan. Here's a thread for me to talk about it and feel free to do the same yourself.

You got scammed buying pony dildos didn't you?

Basically any crypto that's not ETH/BTC.
The only worthwhile ones are futures markets for trading on blockchain, they can easily be bypassed with VPN and let people trade unrestricted (doing that with CEX is a way bigger risk cause they get audited hard)

This is one of those times 4chang needs a ‘Kek’ button

A simple check at (insert coin here)/BTC will show this. Just look at LTC/BTC. Even the devs cannot cope. It used to be sad when I had hope in crypto, now it's hilarious.

The Ring tape from Ringu. I need to find it regardless. I need it.

>>939451345
I for one never trusted crypto.

I can't remember their names but I never forgave the YouTubers that made me buy minidiscs. They're a great recording format but they're not as available as they made them seem anymore. I wasted so much time and money only to have to trow them away becuse I couldn't find a recorder that worked.

Not only are all of the minidisc recorders out there broken and incomplete items sold at high prices by scammers but they need a special mic to work which usually doesn't come with it >:( thouse bastard YouTubers didn't mention that.,

Anything made by "Teenage Engineering" is overpriced hype.

Zip drives didn't get enough love in their day.

They were based. Zip could reboot their brand with SD cards and rugged offline e-reader/media players.

A c-band satellite dish is not too good to be true as long as you learn what powervu and biss keys are

smarterchild bot on aim would be absolutely dumbfounded by how coherent their ai grandchildren have become.

im getting to satellite stuff, just wait

I had a Zip drive. Internal, ATAPI connector, essentially a (relatively) huge FDD. Probably still have it, in the original machine, if I dig around a bit.

And I also used a Jazz drive (usual external Parallel-Port version).

But I also had a Clik! drive, PCMCIA 'housing', insertable/ejectable 'card' for the laptop (either alongside or instead of the network/modem cards) which then took a Clik! disk, about the size of a large coin that could *greatly* increase the laptop's storage space (or let you easily transfer it to another laptop), to the tune of 40MB. Yes. *forty* megabytes! Imagine that!!


Not suggesting any of this as candidates for the OP, though. They were all very good for their time. But thought I might put things in perspective. I wonder how many people reading this were even born when they were available? Or, indeed, whilst they were still reasonably practical storage/transfer solutions.

Another thing you shouldn't fall for is the Famicom Basic set or thew Famicom Disc System.

I still have both parallel port and SCSI IP drives.

The few YouTube videos and web pages about it all paint the famicom basic like a fully functionally, fully programmable 80s computer but really it's just an expensive toy that can only function as a calculator and do very few BASIC functions.
