Fucking Nick Locarno. You let that fucking guy out of prison to attend one holophoto shoot and what does he do? Fucking steal shit. Can't take that guy anywhere.


God I love this, from the weirdness of carrying a printer while smiling - nobody ever smiles in vicinity of a printer - and the SW cast looking like a family photo.

He’s definitely stealing that printer on his way out the door.

He'll transport it in his 1920ies red pickup truck





Voyager’s Native American cultural advisor’s last act was to pick that sweater for Beltran.




by Kirk is a jerk depth: 1

Did Ethan Phillips have a contract requiring that his face always be obscured in this shoot?


A more modern looking vintage pic

Looks like Roxanne is doing the captain morgan power stance at first glance.

Lol, ikr?

It got me twice (when I initially found the pic & then again when I posted it).



The differences in fashion trends between when Voyager premiered (beginning of 1995) and when Seven was introduced (end of 1997) is pretty wild.

The early 1990s and the late 1990s feel like two different decades.

Yeah, my personal headcanon is a bit like that too, or in a sense, the 10 (to 15) years before 1995, while very different, somehow feel more related to each other in a fashion sense, and the 10 (to 15) years after 1995 too (again, visually still fairly different, but like the common themes).

198519952005 feels like a better grouping vs 198019902000.




Garrett Wang wins that contest alone, with those glasses and the gelled hair.

And whatever that shirt is made of.

He stole that outfit from the set of The Matrix


I reckon polyester-cotton mix. I had shirts like that for clubbing and they were hell on the nipples.





The article:



I vaguely remember those days .... $2,000 for a 200Mhz CPU, 16MB RAM and a 2Gig hard drive!!!!!!

That system is not even anywhere close to the most basic dirt cheap smart phone you could buy today for $100

I remember my first full system I bought in 1999 was $1,500 CAD and it was just slightly faster than 200Mhz CPU ... and I was proud to have found a great deal on a 4Gig HDD

... in 1998 I got a Celeron 300A (300MHz) & overclocked it to like 460 450 MHz and it was faster than Pentiums for years. I can't remember, but prob 32MB of RAM.

And ofc my beloved Voodoo 2 (12MB), later in SLI config.

This wasn't a pre-built so it was cheaper & way faster than prebuilts at the time.

450mhz

You are right, the stock fsb was 66MHz (like AGP & PCI at the time), and 100MHz × 4.5 (internal multiplayer) = 450MHz.

Iirc you could overvolt it by masking a pin, or as was the style at the time, paint the pin with with nail varnish.




I have a Samsung S22 with 8gigs of RAM

The S22 has a 2.4Ghz CPU ... about 12 times faster than a 200mhz CPU ... BUT THE S22 SMARTPHONE HAS AN OCTACORE!!! which means there are eight similar cores on the phone!!!! (and that's also not counting the S22 built in GPU that also runs at about 800mhz!!)

8Gigs of RAM is 4,000 times more data RAM than 16MB of RAM!!!!!!!

I also have 128 GB of storage which is about 60 times more than 2GB

... and with the payment plan with my mobile company, I'm going to pay about $500 for my phone

... and I can fit my phone inside my pocket!!!! Instead of a 20lb desktop computer and a 30lb CRT monitor!!!!

And today's smartphones all have multiple built in cameras that have a lot more resolution and speed than anything in 1998 ... not to mention it accesses high speed internet and is capable of streaming high definition audio and video over a mobile network!!! I even have relatives who travel in the wilderness in northern Ontario and can access all of this using satellite internet service!!!!

All that has only been a change of about 25 years .... I don't think people think about how fast that change happened during our lifetimes. It's amazing when you stop to think about it.

And you can't even compare clock speeds to a 90s chip, today's chip's single core performance at 100 MHz is prob 10s of times faster than it was three decades ago.

(Why we need such CPUs in our phoners if not for spyware? I'm def not using all it's might to browse lemmy.)





Oof, I remember reading that exact Parade in 1997.

It was cringe then. It's possibly slightly less cringe now because of the time capsule 90's-ness.


Casual BDSM with a router. XD

Torres casually eating a mouse.

She's clearly speaking to the computer.



That is clearly Kodak's new Snapshot Photo Scanner. And WTF is a "router?" It's 1997; everybody plugs phone lines straight into the backs of their PCs!

Just call The Department of Temporal Investigations, but Janeway might kill them tho.




Tom Paris looking like he's about to beat the absolute fuck outta that printer for giving him a PC load letter error.


Harry kim alone wins everything

I want to see Garrett Wang cosplay as himself from this article at Dragon Con in 2027.



Kes did not want to be there


Why is Ethan Phillips positioned like he doesn’t want to be in the shots? All the way in the back in one, then the back of his head, then behind a bar/pole?

For a split second I legit thought George Costanza had snuck onto the shoot lol



Harry couldn’t even be trusted to hold electronics. Have some magnetic tapes, ensign.

First of all LOL, but also those were CD-ROMs.

Damn lmao I tried.

It wouldn't be a big deal, except that they were very proud of their CD-ROMs back in '97.





HP DeskJet printers. Those things were everywhere


Please tag this as a spoiler, I've never seen the doctor be so sexy before.


press a button and work at home

*heavy breathing management noises*


Paris looks like he just got caught stealing a printer, while neelix is a little too comfortable using that camera if you get what I mean...not to mention that kes is only 8... 😒


I miss the old school You Don't Know Jack. Jackbox does scratch that itch though



Me looking at Kate: Can I get two phones? 🥵

EDIT: The computer has “Where No Man Has Gobe Before” playing. Or at least a screenshot.

Yup, I was already gay for Janeway* ... now even more so.

* currently reading the Voyager Past Imperfect series of books, so I'm really putting my money where my mouth is, there

That's Jennifer Lien, aka Kes only without her atrocious short wig.

That woman had a hard downward spiral. I hope she's found some peace and happiness.




That Star Wars one is not even as 90s as the Hackers movie poster.


Mr Vulcan is smiling!


Who is in yellow?


Thr prequels only win at Suck.



That Star Wars photo has such incest family vibes.

Well, achualhy, no.

You see, incest vibes are a "*later*" (number five?) movie.

This is the first movie, so only child kidnapping/grooming/paedophilia vibes are canon in this case.

/s


Lay off the porn, son.

I'm telling you, the princess is going to try to have sex with that child. It's not good man!

The one time the princess should have been in another caste (and have sex with a lizard there).



(Lol, I was joking but ofc there is varactyl lewdety on the internets as per rule 34)



Porn off the Leia, (step-)bro.

(I'm so sorry, idk what this reply even is, but it seemed funny in my brainhole.

Live your truth.





Comments from other communities

Tim Russ understood the assignment and sexily draped himself in cables.

Robert Duncan McNeill sees himself as the bad boy and steals a printer.

Robert Picardo: "Oh, hello... Didn't see you walk in. Want to watch a little video I made?"

Please state the nature of your 90's emergency





Fucking Nick Locarno. You let that fucking guy out of prison to one holophoto shoot and what does he do? Fucking steal shit. Can't take that guy anywhere.

Edit: oops thought I was in /c/tenforward.


Those wireless phones was always really always featured by the most beautiful women. Like show me an angular wireless phone with a 20 cm rubber antenna and ... well memory hits...


Tom is just your friendly neighborhoods IT support



Why is someone pointing a camcorder at Kess in both her shots?


What's that mini PC?

Sharp Zaurus PDA

Looks really sharp! Sad that stuff like that isn't made anymore.

@squaresinger @negativenull PDAs are still made, it's just that they're aimed to companies. Specifically for warehouses.

For consumer-focused weird mini PCs there's only some obscure chinese companies (usually overprized) like GPD and custom made cyberdecks

I've been hovering over the Lilygo T-Deck or one of its variants for a long time. I've used the T-HMI (basically a T-Deck without the keyboard) for a long time in other projects, so I'm sure I could do something with a T-Deck, but I'm just not sure if it's actually worth the purchase.

It would be really cool to have a slick tiny device with Linux on it, but then again, how much will I really use it?

For now, I dug out an old EEE PC 1005p and put Antix on it. I actually use that one to program while commuting.

I also got the Fairberry keyboard for my phone, so the question is how much usability space there really is between the phone and the EEE PC.

But I just love these sleek small devices with keyboards they used to make in the late 90s to the early 2010s.


They are probably getting replaced with 5G capable cell phones
