Been working on a new video, but you'll have to wait until next month to find out. Hint: It's not a modding tutorial.

I made custom vinyl decals that make a 2021 MacBook Pro look like an early 2000s titanium PowerBook G4.

In an alternate timeline, after the mandated rollout of Chat Control messaging apps started implementing multi-stage read receipts that indicate when messages have been scanned and approved before being read by the recipient. #AlternateTimelineTech

A mockup screenshot of a chat app, showing three sent messages. One has a grey read receipt icon indicating that it has been received by the server. One has an orange read receipt icon indicating that it has been scanned by Chat Control and approved to be forwarded to the recipient. One has a blue read receipt icon indicating that it has been read by the recipient.

Playing Zelda Minish Cap while taking a walk in the woods is truly a vibe.

In 2009, Apple experimented with an iPod built for mobile gaming with a second Click Wheel used for control inputs. It was canned after an engineer showed Jobs and he struggled to complete a game of Tetris due to Click Wheel drift. #AlternateTimelineApple

A prototype iPod nano 5th generation with a secondary Click Wheel above the screen with directional arrows similar to a game controller. On the screen is a stillframe from Resident Evil 4 Mobile Edition.

The MacBook Neo was originally planned to accompany the MacBook and the MacBook Pro in 2006 as a 12-inch entry model, however the processor limitations resulted it being shelved. That is, until 20 years later when Apple Silicon finally made it possible. #AlternateTimelineApple

A 12-inch DVTa-stage prototype polycarbonate MacBook Neo from the year 2006. It is running OS X Tiger 10.4.6 beta 4 with a 1.5GHz Intel Core Duo processor and 512MB of DDR2 RAM.

If you thought a Mac with 8GB of memory doing professional creative content editing was impressive, here's a Mac with 0.5GB RAM editing 42MP photos taken on a camera 15 years newer than itself.

Had a dream where in an alternate timeline instead of race horses we had anthropomorphic CompactFlash cards and hard drives competing at read/write speeds and it was called UDMAmusume: Pretty Memory. #AlternateTimelineTech

Due to rising NAND prices, Apple takes inspiration from the original MacBook Air and ships the M5 generation of MacBooks with iPod hard drives instead of SSDs. Despite the slower speeds, they earned improved iFixit scores due to the better repairability. #AlternateTimelineApple

Recently stumbled upon the genre of Victorian-era spirit photography and tried to replicate the visual style using modern digital methods.

My new favourite thing is to take portraits and then edit them to loosely resemble daguerreotype or ferrotype images from the 1800s.

LLMs are starting to mistake my photoshoot edits for actual historical images and it's kinda funny. This was shot with a modern digital camera with the subject edited onto a screenshot background from a video game, then edited in Photoshop.

In an alternate timeline, Microsoft rebrands Word, Excel, Powerpoint to Copilot Word, Copilot Excel, and Copilot Powerpoint. They also deprecate the previous UI in favour of Copilot prompting, which becomes the only way to interact with your document. #AlternateTimelineMicrosoft

A satirical concept design for Copilot 365 Excel, which removes the original Microsoft user interface and makes it so that the user can only edit their document through Copilot prompting.

I was playing Ocarina of Time when this eerie chanting began in the music and then stopped abruptly and I don't remember hearing it when I first played the game decades ago. Turns out it was from an audio sample album Nintendo used but removed in later revisions of the game.

While editing cosplay photos, I accidentally discovered that Photoshop's edge refinement tool has a Bad Apple visualisation mode.

A Photoshop window with a person selected in an edge refinement window, it has been set to black-and-white mode with the person appearing as a white silhouette on a pitch black background, similar to the visual style of the 2009 animation for Bad Apple.
