@vintage.computer☕📹 The world's first webcam wasn't built for video calls, it was built for coffee! In 1991, Cambridge researchers pointed a camera at their communal coffee pot so they could check if it was full without leaving their desks. The internet had its priorities! #RetroComputing
@6octaves.bsky.socialI've republished my 2018 essay about demosceners on Medium. To my surprise, the original post has been widely shared over the years.
I hope it reaches someone new to this culture who might find it fascinating!

@oldtechadverts.bsky.socialHigh resolution is 570x470 back in the day. It accepts a RGB analogue or TTL as inputs.
@oldtechadverts.bsky.socialNot quite a flat bed plotter. Maybe half a bed.

@mylittleretro.bsky.socialBomb – Shian Lee (1997)
A demoscene classic inspired by 1960s–70s kung fu movies!
Captured in 4K/60fps on a real Pentium 100 with a Gravis Ultrasound, Matrox Millennium and MS-DOS 6.22. No emulation!

@mylittleretro.bsky.socialA beautiful but not particularly useful Hercules Dynamite ET6000! One of the fastest 2D graphics cards of its era, but unfortunately plagued by compatibility issues in DOS games. Fast, gorgeous hardware, just not the best choice for a retro DOS gaming PC.

Kromi One is on the network. Programs can now use the Ethernet port, driven by our firmware KROM. On the board: an address from the home router, 700–780 Mbit/s to another computer (gigabit tops out at 1,000), and the cable pulled mid-transfer without a single false "sent".
