Oh, joy! #OpenAI slashes prices for obsolete tech by 80% 🙄, but it'll still cost you your sanity since you need a time machine to access it: "This browser is no longer supported." ⏳🔧 Just check the "Help Center" — because who wouldn't want to wade through corporate gobbledygook for hours? 😂🔍

#TrueStory #ObsoleteTech
From the abstract of a Review article from 2003 in J Cell Biol.
“A Flash feature accompanies this Mini-Review.”
Sigh... remember Adobe Flash?
@nytpu In theory, it should be possible to make single-shot 135 / 120 setups tho there usually isn't a good, turnkey option to just shove in a single image...
But a System that basically could do that (being like single film frames in like a dia frame) should be possible...
Maybe some open-back #MediumFormat cameras like a #PentaconSix can be loaded with just a single & short strip of 120?
- Granted that's not compareable to #LargeFormatFilm but it would allow you to Level up before investing into expensive stuff and get a handle on it?
Also LFF has the disadvantage of being seen as "#ObsoleteTech" and thus there's very low quantity, but very high quality photographic sheets that thus have the associated premium to it...
One thing I'd love to see is a #LargeFormatCamera that can use the comparably cheaper and more mass produced #Xray #FilmSheets instead, as they are made with like a user-friendly caddy system and designed to provide afforable and fast to develop images without much manual labour...
- And since these don't have digital sensor fields that get worn out by radiation they are extremely widespread with doctors, dentists and veterinarians...
I mean, fundamentally they still work the same way the original "Curies" as 1st gen X-ray setups worked, just more accurate, safer and efficient...

Y' know... that failed gaming PDA...
I mean it would make sense given that it's something portable yet unusual and that #Stargate #SG1 has a ton of COTS stuff being used as props and devices and for all intents amd purposes all it needs to do on camera is show either still images or play a video so it's not like it can't do both...

The last #floppydisk was made over a decade ago and doesn't even have enough capacity to store a modern smart phone picture, so why do some people still love using them?
Qui donc utilise encore des #disquettes ?

This, children, is mysterious technology we used to use for our photographs. I tell you, one hour photo processing, when it finally arrived at the end of the last century was a *big* deal. #film #obsoletetech #35mm
