Thread 105811040

Post random shit you want for no real reason other than "I think it's kinda cool"

>>105811048
Compensating for something?

>>105811060
no i just find that exact model insanely cool
i want an old school car too, but rebuilt with a modern engine and on a modern sport chassis

>i just find that exact model insanely cool
its the gatling from halo how could you NOT want that?

>>105811672
I watched that thing for 15 minutes straight last time I was there.

>>105811672
that's pretty mesmerizing

>>105812057
i've wanted one of these but i know i would never actually use it.

>>105812057
is this a PC or ARMshit?

>>105812573
> AMD Ryzen 7 8840U, Ryzen AI 9 HX 365, or Ryzen AI 9 HX 370

>>105811040 (OP)
thank you for sharing this op, im a sonyfag that didnt know this existed but want one now

>>105812464
I have an old laptop that I only use on the go which is still very rare and the small size would actually be convenient, but that keyboard is a dealbreaker. If they made it just a smidge bigger like the win max 2 so that it fits a normal keyboard layout it would be an instabuy.

I came upon this image a couple months back and saved it for some reason.
I guess this thread is it.

>>105811040 (OP)
It's a car stereo from 1999 that runs Linux and can play MP3s.

>>105811040 (OP)
I just think they're neat

>>105815183

>i just watched cathode ray dude

Either Retroid 5 with second screen addon, or Ayaneo Pocket S2 with that second screen.

>>105815948
And so did you.

>>105811090
You are the target demographic for Zimmer’s
Be aware these look cool when it’s the 80’s but they made them until 2020 and some of the more modern ones look heinous even for this style

>>105816315
Like this is real
This isn’t a photoshop
They honest to god made this, and for someone this is their dream car and that’s fine, but everyone else looks at this like bruh

>>105811090
these things are far from comfortable

>>105812057
looks very fragile

Who wouldn't like 2 tons of SD video recording equipment at their home?

>>105817106
is this AI

This is more /o/ than /g/ but f250 with under hood 2kw generator
I know they have belt driven modern ones now but a whole ass seperate generator is cool

>>105813975
please don't buy it or it'll get more expensive.

>>105817136
retards like you shouldnt be able to vote

>>105811420
You ever take that thing off any sick jumps?

>>105817220
but i even daily an ipod that benefits from the 30pin dock :-(

theres a shoebox full of microfilms at an antique store but i wouldnt be able to view them without pic rel
still might buy them anyway

>>105816315
>>105816321
may i introduce you to their japanese contemporary, mitsuoka
based on nissan s-chassis vehicles

>>105817403
Got a good camera? You could "scan" them by literally photographing the microfilm/fiche. Pic is from 110 film which is the size of your thumbnail.

>>105817649
>>105817403
You could probably just use a scanner too

>>105817682
i want one of those optical comparators though
and i dont have a digital camera or scanner, only film

>>105817403
>>105817649
>>105817682
>>105817711
you can 3d print a microfilm display, too

>>105814647
Holy shit that is so cool. Imagine launching Winamp on this bad boy and being able to choose from 2 CD’s ????

>>105812057
This looks really cool. I wonder how much it costs.
>$1000+
Nevermind

>>105812057
I'm actually saving up for this. I live downtown and want to take this to coffee shops, outside hangout zones etc. Going to use it for work as well

>PinePhone Pro
>PineNote
>Pinecil
maybe a couple other products from them too. some of these are kinda cool, but not enough to make me buy anything.

>>105814647
i have a old toughbook, cf29, but idk what do do with it
i hear people install linux on them, slackware or some shit, idk whats involved with that though

I bought these because they looked cool but only ended using them twice

>>105815183
My stereo just took a shit so one of these would be cool to replace it with.

>>105815423
I could actually use this. I didn't know Panasonic made one though, just shitty Funai.
>>105816351
>looks very fragile
I have a knock-off version and it's fine. It just comes down to containing your tard strength.

>>105818602
Considering that they only made 6000 of these fuckers you are gonna have a hard time finding one.

I would just like to have this in my house, it looks cool.

I would buy this as a replacement for my iPhone X if it wasn’t twice as expensive as the cheapest smasnugg where I live.

>>105818530
I have a cf-18 mk5 with similar specs to the cf-29. I just run windows 7 on it due to driver compatibility and use it for shitposting and watching <=480p video.

>>105818587
i am somehow not at all surprised

>>105819309
based anon

>>105811040 (OP)
I heard these are completely hot garbage, poorly designed.

s-tier thread OP.
one of the rare occasions where OP is not a faggot.

>>105812057
I had a dream once where I had one of these but the keyboard could be swapped out with joysticks and controls for a drone.
I don't even own a drone but using this to tinker with firmware and control one would be really cool.

>>105811040 (OP)
Wan't one of these so I can pretend to be a pro when I mix my tracks. And a stream deck with shortcuts next to my mouse to give the feel of controlling something important when I shitpost.

>>105819309
very cool indeed, could it play DVD from the same gamecube interface or was it a whole different system?

>>105821766
answering myself it can't, there's a game button on front to switch between dvd/cd mode and gamecube mode

>>105821617
>Wan't
This is funny. I see people fucking up with 's all the time but I've never seen wan't.

>>105819309
goddamn i didnt even realize how expensive these fuckers are now

I've wanted this since I was 12 years old

>>105822489
It has both an Intel CPU and an ARM chip to run Vista and Windows Mobile.

>>105822485
>now
I remember seeing one in a game store ten or so years ago and it was expensive then. Are they past a thousand now?

>>105822515
a single new-in-box listing with 40 watchers is up for 7.4k usd kek

whats the ref number for this, want to paint one black for wallmounting

>>105822489
I vaguely remember these. I miss the days when companies tried just about anything.
>>105822524
I hate this decade so damn much.

>>105822489
That reminds me how much I wanted this back in '08, since I barely understood any English I had no idea that it was just a mockup lol

>be me

For me, it's the Juke

>>105822524
>>105822547
>>105822515
it was NEVER cheap.

>>105822548
kek we were all young once

>>105811040 (OP)
I'm a sucker for billboards that have some kind of internet function or API or some other way of pulling live information, and I have always been in love with the vestaboard. It's prohibitively expensive and I will never get one, but I would adore to have one.

>>105811040 (OP)
this fucking beast

>>105815948
I stopped watching that guy after I saw his video about optical drives where he had a fuckin' cry about the use of the term "master" and "slave" for IDE drives.

>>105822548
GPD did make basically that with the Win 4 just without the Sony design language

btw don't EVER be tempted by the cheap Win 3 devices on eBay, they are garbage because they use a touch keyboard, that's why they are so cheap.

>>105824190
you've never touched one of those
they're so bad :(

>>105824268
He's a lefty but his content is still novel and well produced
I just ignore the craziness, it's not that bad

I fear it may be too late for you, fren.

A Japanese school chime machine
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B35rhF-U3w8
Not this model in particular, but I would like one with actual chimes

>>105829165
that's cool as fuck

>>105818307
I'm still not sure I'd be able to type on that fucked keyboard layout without pulling out my hair. Would be nice if the RAM was upgradable at some point too.

>>105829256
headphones?

I've liked folding tech ever since I was a young kid. It's wildly impractical and actually just a worse experience to use vs normal devices but damn if it isn't cool.
If I had money to burn I'd run this pair just to feel like I'm living in the future.

>>105817403
These machines used to scare me when I went to the library as a kid because they were loud :-(

>>105831092
>hinge

Nigger annihilation ray

>>105822548
Arguably a better design than the Sony VGNs released, they suck for everything, I also have the Docomo W7 phone but that thing struggles to play Gameboy games.

>>105831525
I don't mind the hinge and I prefer the look of the yogabook 9i. I want two screens to multitask not for fullscreening one application.

>>105831525

Er, needs Ericsson, needs Walkman, needs VAIO, needs BRAVIA, all the Snoy brands.

Either this or the Feraliminal Lycanthropizer

>>105831092
I have a Z Fold 6 and it's the coolest phone I've ever had. It's gotten me excited about phones and technology again. The Samsung tri-fold is supposed to be revealed soon, but it's going to be China and Korea exclusive.

>>105824076
I saw one of these recently in SFMOMA's gift shop. Very cool. I have a small collection of the 70's alarm clocks that use the same split-flap displays.

>>105811090
what about a lotus super seven? or one of the many clones

>>105811040 (OP)
TRMNL
also the liquid glass coming in iOS 26 looks cool, usability issues aside
Also a Framework desktop

Look at this badass who has never ever once seen an image he couldn’t instantly determine was AI generated/altered or not.

Nixie tube anything.

you can test it right now. it's really shit and not even visually interesting.

>>105829165
we had those in spain... not sure if in the school or in a church or where i heard those when i was a kid, but was somewhat often

I want one of those ancient phosphor terminals to play text games on

I want the comfy midcentury vibes

>>105837504
what even is that

>>105837507
Electromechanical world clock with day-and-night display; a favorite of boardrooms, hotel lobbies, and small airports in the not-too-distant past.

It's cool, even as a paperweight

I need a cute Rolly gf in my life
https://youtu.be/Wl_SOybcv-g

Those high end CRT monitors and uncommon CRT tv like HiVision Muse that are now expensive and hard to find

>>105840102
sadly you can't really use a muse for anything. it's literally a paperweight.

>>105812057
This or picrel which is actually affordable

>>105811040 (OP)
I always wanted a cr48, it was mediocre for its time, now it’s unusable

>>105840760
I only wanted it because it was free
I didn't get chosen though

>>105840465
yep, had my eyes on it too, but it has a worse battery life, poor performance and no HDMI port which could come in handy.

If you don't want a (sort-of) smartphone with its own keyboard, then I don't know what to tell you but you're wrong.

>>105842586
I already have a Nokia C6-00, but these days I just don't want a smartphone in general.

this iriver game console
never knew if it was real or a mockup

reminds me of red haired woman in light blue dress with nice overbite looking at me in a misty Mall. my heart is hurting bros..
