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
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.
Please tag this as a spoiler, I've never seen the doctor be so sexy before.
That Star Wars one is not even as 90s as the Hackers movie poster.
Voyager’s Native American cultural advisor’s last act was to pick that sweater for Beltran.
Did Ethan Phillips have a contract requiring that his face always be obscured in this shoot?
A more modern looking vintage pic
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).
1985~1995~2005 feels like a better grouping vs 1980~1990~2000.
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 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
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.)
... 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.
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.
Harry kim alone wins everything
I want to see Garrett Wang cosplay as himself from this article at Dragon Con in 2027.
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.
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
Kes did not want to be there
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
I can't recognize what character is in the lime green?
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.
press a button and work at home
*heavy breathing management noises*
I miss the old school You Don't Know Jack. Jackbox does scratch that itch though
Who is in yellow?
Jennifer Lien (Kess)
Thanks
Thr prequels only win at Suck.
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.
This made my day
