Photo of a beige CRT monitor showing a Windows 3.11 system running RealPlayer 5.0. A streaming video channel called Watch and Learn is playing, showing the vacuum cleaner episode of The Secret Life of Machines.

🔊 I have seen a C5 on the streets, though @davevelociraptor.bsky.social ’s “Winter Olympics” raises a hearty laugh from @jasoncompton.bsky.social - “as an earnest product, no, no and no. Every ounce of derision was deserved…” 🥹

Can you remember Winamp? It was the music player to have back in the day. There was also a plugin that that added LEDs & speakers that attached to the player.
Inspired by this, my PXR MIDI Player now has these optional additions...

One of the most impressive homebrew tech demos I’ve ever seen for the #Sega #Dreamcast! I’m honored and am so proud that it’s using my SH4ZAM linear algebra library to accelerate its math! Way to go, dude!
