Video games are encouraging children to pour hot oil onto their enemies and then Fortnite dance

This is a broken Sony Digital Mavica MVC-FD87. This has a rare 4X speed floppy drive, so I thought I'd open it up and see if I could remove it and use it elsewhere.

(This is going to be a very abbreviated thread because most of my images are blurry, since I no longer have an office for reverse engineering teardowns)

This one is from 2001 and can take photos up to 1280×960 pixels, at which resolution you'll barely manage to fit four images on a 1.44mb floppy disk.

Starting a fundraiser for my luxury leftist intellectual armchair.

Need a PhD in being drunk and high on the street. I need the credibility.

It's less that atom/RSS is "dead", and more that its "done".

The protocol is finished. It works well. It's stable and unremarkable as opposed to trendy.

I love Star Trek TNG as much as the next 90s nerd kid, but the computing aesthetic of “talk to it like it’s a person or use a little rectangle with a touchscreen” that it planted into the collective consciousness has done so much damage and we’ll pay for it our whole lives.

Parthenogensis (clonal reproduction of females) is pretty unusual. Corbicula fluminea is in an even smaller club: it is one of only a few species across the entire tree of life known to use androgenesis! They're hermaphrodite and reproduce asexually, but only the paternal genome is passed on, while the maternal genome is literally discarded out of the cell nucleus! This clonal reproduction has enabled it to become a notorious invasive species: where one hitches a ride, there can quickly be a LOT more in only a couple years! #clamFacts
