A collection of some classic Lemmy memes for your enjoyment
This was cutting edge tech... I remember the excitement of replacing floppy discs with CDRs...
Pre-home internet I remember running a line-in to my soundblaster card from a clock radio and recording Tool's Sober to my HDD.
The wav file took up a good chunk of the HDD. After a good amount of funking around with encoding it was barely comprehensible and still took up too much room. Was exciting and felt like a glimpse of the future.
Why are you attacking me?
I actually remember albums. They were these physical discs that actually existed within our 3D world. Made entirely of vinyl, they played on a modular device designed entirely for their use and their use alone. In comparison, they were close to the same thickness, but considerably larger than even the ancient CD-ROMs were!
And they sounded SOOOOO much better than anything you’ve ever heard.

EVEN OLDER!
Where are the speakers, that warned you about incoming calls?
Yes
Tell your kids we used to burn cd for entertainment, then proceed to take a torch to the cd.
To be fair I've done that too haha.
I had so many burned CDs with games and music... This was back when ADSL internet was the hot new thing with incredible download speeds of 30kb/s
Don’t hurt me like this.
I still do this, minus limewire because it doesn't exist
My first pirated copy of windows was 3.1.
The good old days of getting music from IRC or MP3 download websites found with Altavista.com
Just to play them back with WinPlay3 on a computer that used 100% CPU just to play back a file and dropped audio frames anyway.
8088 era is in da house.
Tech culture is around 10 years late here in India. So I can say I have worked with above tools. But CD Roms are now thing of past. Pen Drives, HDD and SDD are now tool of the game now.
Well... Yes. But I never used limewire because our Internet was so shit it'd take 25 minutes just to load in a Web page entirely made of just text.
