Yeah, the camera probably hasn't been in functioning condition for decades and people at Kodak likely didn't see much historical value in archiving those tapes.

That's still very cheap for an interchangeable lens MF rangefinder. A Mamiya 7 will cost you around $2000 just for the body. There's the Mamiya Press which you can get for cheap but those are very large and heavy.

Very very cool. I've been thinking about doing something like that before, but didn't really have the time or skills. Awesome someone went through with it.

What shocks me even more is that TSLA is still about 10% up YoY. What path to (hyper-)profitability are investors seeing?

Why do you think it's a communist thing? Communist countries (both historically and current) tend to protect their borders fervently. I'd say no-border cosmopolitanism is more of a classic liberalism thing.

The most annoying thing is when you search for instance for "Chinese restaurants" and Google maps shows me Japanese restaurants while hiding actual Chinese restaurants.

As someone who was team N64 I do agree PSX has more of a "trademark look" compared to the N64 which is pretty much just a very limited version of a modern graphics rasterizer.

>Even back then many games were preferable on the N64 like megaman legends Huh, I generally see megaman legends cited as an example where the PSX version looks better due to the crisper textures. https://www.youtube.com/w

So just drop off a patch somewhere by "accident" and have someone else merge it. What are they gonna do?

The distorted textures and weird triangle clipping issues are exactly what you'd expect from an unoptimized port to a platform that doesn't support perspective correct texturing or depth testing.

I simply can't fathom why anyone would spend extra money on a "smart" fridge. Let alone one that shows ads. Why would you even want one of those?

There were cat burials 10k years ago?

>That relationship we have with cats now only gets started about 3.5 or 4,000 years ago, rather than 10,000 years ago. I wouldn't have thought cats were domesticated 10,000 years ago, why is it implied that's a general assumpti

Maybe it’s because I studied in Austria where universities generally provide very little handholding to students but I don’t understand the point of compulsory attendance in university lectures. If students think they can pass exams without

That's actually quite a reasonable price for such a specialized device.

When you go to some largish western art history museum, even not the super major ones, it’s always startling how big the egyptology section is. The amount of artifacts in the egyptian museum must be mindboggling.

I find it weird that a new device in 2025 still comes with only one USB-C port and otherwise only USB-A. Is USB-C that much more expensive? Is it about power delivery?

Are you saying they released a knitted thing in 1984?

I can sort of understand the redesign of the Famicom/NES. What I can't understand is why they redesigned the Super Famicom. That just outright looked better than what the US ended up with.

I disagree. People spend a tremendous amount of effort archiving computing history.

My theory is that people complaining about text on low resolution displays are using Macs. Apple has seriously gimped the text rendering on low-dpi displays essentially just downscaling a high-resolution render of the screen rather than doi

How is the web stable? Any server can change the app you're working on without you being able to do anything. Tons of the old web is broken or gone. Compare that to a win32 desktop app that will almost certainly keep working indefinite
