  Honestly you could tell me this photo was taken in 2023 in a hipster neighborhood in Seattle and I would believe you.

  Judging by the attire and retro hardware this is a new photo.

    Judging by the colors, this is a new photo. It’s not yellow.

      know what’s crazy?

      the file he’s transferring is the picture you’re currently looking at.

      some say it’s still transferring at 300 baud today.

    Or it’s artificially generated.

    The printed sheets on the wall looks a bit too good as well.

  Use the serial port, both have them, and this would probably work with 600 to even 1200 bits per second.

  • SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

    I prefer 300 baud because you can distinctly hear if the bitstream is correct

    • Treczoks@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

      More or less, yes. But I have heard more than enough of this sound to last a few lifetimes.

  I’m not convinced that this picture wasn’t just taken last week!

  Not a shit post, it was a real struggle even in the '90s

  • gray@pawb.social ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

    This is still a struggle today.

    Want to put a file on your iPhone or iPad from a non-mac? Good luck without some 3rd party app.

      Good luck doing any file management on an iPhone or iPad tbh. Tech companies nowadays seem desperate to make people forget how computers work.

      Great point. It’s infuriating that the only inbuilt non-Apple remote file access method in iOS is SMB3, for example.

  I miss my commodore. Ultimate wizard just isn’t the same without the joystick and mechanical keyboard and the disk drive sounds.
