What in the FCKGW is going on in this thread?!
Also: one of these is a virus, but you’ll never know which one!
Oh, you’ll know… after the fact
Yes you will; “White & Nerdy” at 4020kB at the top and then again at 11,764kB down below? If you were paying attention, you could usually figure it out ahead of time, but it was easy to miss as a middle-schooler
The bottom one is mp4, so it’s probably a video, hardly surprising it’d have a larger file size. The two that are sus to me are the two In Da Tub files, one is mp4 at only 872.4 KB (unless it’s in like, 240p or lower), and the other one in wma, because really, who the fuck is using wma, fuck outta here with that.
Good catch, on both accounts. I’d say there’s a 50:50 chance that the mp4 is porn, though.
My off-network hand-me-down computer could play CDRW discs, but only if the disc was in the machine when it booted up. That was an exciting issue to troubleshoot.
I vaguely remember a similar issue from either my win95 or 98 desktop.
Anyone remember Microsoft Zune?
It was the superior option at the time. I wish they never abandoned it.
Was ahead of it’s time with the wireless sharing option.
Cmon, at least get the right tower:
:O
The leaning tower of PCia!
I had one of these bad boys.
Never Obsolete
Intel Celeron
and that’s why eMachines died off
I remember the never obsolete thing, it was a subscription thing where you would get a new machine like every two years but IIRC they canceled it before anybody got a second machine.
I just meant for the meme. Our first PC was this one:
Before that we had a Commodore and I had limited experience on my grandparents’ 386.
LGR, is that you?
Putting “Never obsolete” on a celeron-powered PC is a special kind of irony.
Me: I can burn 200 music tracks to play on CD?!
My CD Player: These are MP3’s, my boy, and my tired eyes cannot read them. Bring those WAV’s that I know and love.
Me: Of course, grandad, of course.
*Sadly choose 10 tracks to burn, and discard the other 190*
There was a window of about 6 months where you could get a CD player that could play mp3s
6 months? Cars had them for years.
I had the Panasonic anti skip, and I will happily shout about being the hipster who was rocking the overhead headphones well before that became mainstream 🎧
This review takes me back to my youth ❤️
And the baggy jeans we used to wear back then often had pockets big enough that you could for the whole CD player inside! 😎
Incredible. I had no idea you can still buy these. I think my friend had this exact one back in high school
Each bullet point was like a jolt of nostalgia. The MusicMatch reference hit me the hardest
tell that to my parents car stereo
My car CD player had that. And it worked great, until you decided to encode with a variable bitrate (e.g.,
lame --preset r3mix
).Oh well, 192 will do.
RIP my blue Rio cd player.
But does it have…
T U R B O?
You call this old?
Try punchcards, kiddo
It was a bitch playing MP3s on a punch card though.
mp3’s didn’t exist at that time, but we did play music using punch cards in the 1850’s…
“Software” 2007.
Definitely contains NERO Burning ROM.
