This video is funnier than it should be, and the sponsorship is actually why I’m posting it here. I guarantee there are 
ers who could find $60 worth of random parts they could totally use easily enough!

Way too funny. He could figure out the gears but not rig a tach. I’m calling shenanigans.

Wow. It has taken something we call “Earth” to store 360 terabytes for 13.8 billion years of information up until this point! 
I remember when 1 GB was more storage than we’d ever need (and it came for the same price as a Yugo!). Of course, that was when I had an IBM XT with at 30 Mb hard drive and those big 8 inch Bernoulli drives for extra storage.
I feel like I should say “get off my lawn kid” or something similar now. ¯\(ツ)/¯

I wonder what sort of warranty they offer. Could be a big class action if people only get 6 billion years out of them.

We’ve come a long way from SSSD 5-1/4 floppies.
I see they are selling Commodore 64 computers again!

My first computer was a 512k “Fat Mac” Macintosh. All the guys at work laughed at me because a) I bought a Mac instead of a PC, and b) 512k of RAM. “No one will evvvvvver need that much memory!” they said.

i went from commodore 64 (which i eventually outfitted with a “tape” drive for storage), to an original ibm 5150 with 2 full height 5.25 floppy disks. which i eventually updated with a very expensive 10mg, full height drive and a CGA 4 color monitor. then i got a used apple IIc with a green monochrome monitor (where i played the original “wasteland”, the precursor to fallout). then i upgraded that old 5150 with 16 mb of ram which i bought used in 4 sticks for $400. after that it’s a blur of building my own machines.

Meanwhile on every other part of the internet everyone is trying to seem younger than they are.
Excuse me as I go adjust my rabbit ears and make a call at the payphone. It’s almost time for Buck Rogers to come on.
