With the introduction of Dolby Surround 7.1 in 2010, Sony were eager to put out a full home theater system. One of their early models, the HT-A7.100, included a revolutionary evolution to the standard stereo jack: the 7.1 surround jack, allowing all 8 channels to be sent over one cable.

20,000 followers! I would like to thank everyone for helping make this dream come true, I've wanted 20,000 followers on mastodon since I was six years old.

You're all gems.

@gparker How about a 6th grade school report.

A close up of a school report for a small nanoraptor, stating "Dana needs to spend more time with her peers and less telling stories about wanting 20,000 "mastodon" followers".

In some ways the only true offsite backups ever created are the golden discs on the Voyager probes

Having a charge-the-collection day. Every time I do this iPod I forget it's a HD based machine until partway through it fires up the drive with a noise that sounds like the ones that early morning huntsman spiders make when they click to each other on the walls.

@NanoRaptor “early morning huntsman spiders make when they click to each other” I am all too familiar with that sound.

It's always a pleasure to open an addition to the collection and find it's brand new inside.

One of my oldest pics doing the rounds again.

One throwaway pixeljob 25 years ago, and now a substantial part of the population of Australia remembers the edit as the truth of it.

Bit proud of that.

@NanoRaptor Mandela effect actually statistical error; most people have 0 mistaken memories. Photoshops Dana, who lives in Australia and posts 1,000 fake products every day, is an outlier and should not have been counted.

@Cdespinosa @pixel The plot thickens. “I bought this item at a charity auction during my trip to Munic at Christmas 2001. As you can see, the invoice is expressed in the old German currency, before the entry of the EURO.”

I think there’s a chance this story might be true — and this is a bamboozlee, not the original bamboozler.

Calling all Germans! @map

(But then again: if this person enjoys forging documents, this would be a fun one to forge.)

@cabel @Cdespinosa @pixel @map See, the problem with it all is it's missing the important characteristic of just plain silliness.

That’s not Sherry Livingston.
That wasn’t taken with a Polaroid with a flash.
The laminate dimensions are all wrong.
That’s a computer font, not an IBM Selectric Orator type ball.
That’s not my original sketch, which was on a National engineering pad.

Apple recommended keeping the Macintosh Horizontal Product’s key switch locked in the On position for user safety.

@NanoRaptor

This never became popular due to it requiring 2 people to operate, one on the keyboard and the other controlling the trackpad and to read the screen, balanced on their laps.
Codenamed the "Duo", it was originally designed as a dating computer, where people could find out if they were compatible. The development of dating websites on the then new World Wide Web obviated the need for such a product.
The only remnant of the product was the codename Duo and the term laptop.

If I were to go hunt down an old ThinkPad as the one ThinkPad for my collection, given the Wallstreet PowerBook is one of my ever-favourites, what year & model should I be hovering around?

@cstross@wandering.shop avatar

@guffo @NanoRaptor In particular you want the Thinkpad 701P model with the PowerPC 603e processor running MacOS 7 during that brief period when IBM was courting Apple and paying the MacOS license fee! An absolute classic, and as rare as hens teeth.
