I remember almost leaving my VMU on a bus and I ran so hard to go get it back. Fun memories.

[voyajer@lemmy.world]

I always go for the clear plastic replacement shells for my electronics. I got a Dreamcast with a chewed up shell that is now clear blue, did my GBA SP in a clear green a couple of years ago, and I'm looking into reshelling my Wii too now.

It just looks so... technological

[urheber@discuss.tchncs.de]

literally drooling

[zarkanian@sh.itjust.works]

The iMac started this.

[parody@lemmings.world]

Now they’re technically not blanks

Later: We all have 8 different flavors of cancer from these

Gigapet : Am I a joke to you?

[bytemeister@lemmy.world]

Yeah. Love that round fucking mouse, and that computer with a space heating, ESD producing CRT crammed into the same chassis. Those things were fucking garbage.

Fun factoid of the day: The Nintendo 2DS only actually has one screen. Go ahead, open one up, you'll see...

Translucent George Foreman grill? For real?

Did it even have a power switch? Mine isn't translucent, but my OG George Foreman grill does not even have a power switch, you literally gotta unplug that mofo if you don't want your house to burn down.

Wrong, you can get colored and transparent cases for the Steam Deck. Design technology is still peaking.

[cancermancer@sh.itjust.works]

I only got the backplate but man I'm tempted to do the front too.

Also transparent filaments are great. I 3D printed an olfa knife handle in transparent green (think Razer's green) and it looks fucking awesome.

[matriks404@lemmy.world]

Give me translucent Game Boy Color any day

Did...did you eat your atomic purple N64?

[ilovededyoupiggy@sh.itjust.works]

Ok, fine, Graphite iMac G3 is perfection of form over function. That better?

Never actually had one, always wanted one. I did use the hockey puck mouse at school, and agree that it was fucking terrible. Can't really speak to the esd issues from the CRT, didn't use it often/long enough for that to affect me, though I can certainly see how it could have been a problem. Most computers are some level of space heaters, as far as that goes, especially if you've got a decent GPU, so I'm not sure I'd really knock it too much for that unless it was just really super egregious.

[monstrosity@lemm.ee]

Hey, I still have that exact iMac on my garage!

It's got Yellow Dog Linux on it lol

[stevedice@sh.itjust.works]

I don't know why, but translucent colored plastic gives me "cheap garbage" vibes. Probably because knock off memory cards for the PS1/PS2 used exactly that design.

[captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works]

False.
