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.

Say hello to the all-new Mac nano, powered by M6 and M6 Pro while 40% smaller than the Mac mini. #AlternateTimelineApple (actually a custom vinyl skin I made for the Apple TV)

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.

In an alternate timeline, watchOS 27 adds Offensive Gesture Detection which uses the accelerometer and gyroscope with machine learning to detect if the user is making offensive gestures and will automatically take the necessary corrective actions. #AlternateTimelineApple #WWDC26

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

"Hatsune Miku confessed to Agent 47 but was rejected and fell into a deep sadness before being cured by playing Umamusume: Pretty Derby" was not a sentence I thought I'd ever say and yet here we are.

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.

Some of these scanners even come with a gun-like grip for easy use.

Experience survival horror the way it was meant to be played - through a supermarket barcode scanner with the gun mapped to a 1D barcode.

In an alternate timeline, a Windows 11 update bricked millions of PCs after it migrated system32 to OneDrive without permission and then shipped a faulty network driver. #AlternateTimelineMicrosoft

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.

In an alternate timeline, Apple brands their products like Sony and Sony brands their products like Apple. #AlternateTimelineApple #AlternateTimelineSony

Just realised OneRepublic's Counting Stars fits almost perfectly with Smile's Butterfly and I don't know what to do with this information.

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

Dr. Cookie is concerned and hopes you're okay. She also says her servant's DMs are open if you need to talk.

I got roasted by my camera's metadata for being broke and using a slower SD card...

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

This comes just weeks after a similar incident involving a white-haired vampire who attempted to remove a Pro Display XDR after beating a number of security guards unconscious with a black lace parasol.

This just in, Apple Security Squad was called to the London Covent Garden flagship store after sightings of what could only be described as a Victorian goth witch attempted to remove one of the Pro Display XDR from a table. Witnesses say the suspect disappeared in a puff of smoke.

I'd send you a link, but unfortunately we handle human blood at the facility and I don't want any of that to mysteriously go missing 🤔

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

More info: The background of this image is a screenshot of Ramón Salazar's throne room from Resident Evil 4 (2023) taken with Photo Mode and then edited behind the main subject. The editing method I used was partially based on this guide: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dz1d... No generative AI was used.

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

Michi @nekomichi.bsky.social · 22/01/2026

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.
