ITT: good tech that never took off

well I fucked up, Wikipedia explains it better: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Millipede_memory#Basic_concept

>Mechanically, millipede uses numerous atomic force probes
yup you could use that fucker as an AFM with some hacking and some software. Disappointing it didn't take off. Would be sweet to have a consumer grade AFM to fuck around with.

It took of, used by many text editors and scripts

Nemo mobile, Sailfish OS, Gentoo GNU/Linux, GNU HURD. Windows 10.

Yes.

dat tearing tho

netbooks

Really revolutionary stuff.
However its time was cut short by PS2 being released in 2000.

AMD

Xperia Play, SailfishOS
Linux took off

Nope

even if PS2 didn't come out, Sega was already on the verge of bankruptcy. The failure of the game gear, 32x, sega cd, saturn, and declining arcades was burning a massive hole in their pocket in addition to marketing and developing for dreamcast. Isao Okawa had to literally bail out sega before they were gonna merge with Microsoft or shut the doors.

What was even on that center screen?

Goddamn SED is awesome. Why has it been discontinued?

Was discontinued 10~ years ago due to lawsuits.

shut up nerd

What is Android? What do most servers use as an OS?

>60%+ servers
>97% supercomputers
>70% smartphones
>not kicking off
Haha, kys

underage b&

Depends on the game you were playing. I remember Virtua Tennis displayed a 2D pixel version of the game on it. I thought that VMUs were really futuristic at the time.

97+% of the most powerful computers in the history of the known universe run linux

your argument is invalid

android isn't linux

There was a game on Dreamcast which involved being in a futuristic city. The only thing I remember is that you could watch your character piss in a toilet, and it was on a SEGA demo disk. Do you remember the name?

>most powerful computers
>android
???
It is, anyway.

Didn't take off in the US at least.

Android isn't GNU, but it is Linux. Stop being illiterate.

Linux is a kernel

Dildorang

Where do I contradict this?
>android OS has a Linux kernel
>GNU OS has a Linux kernel
>the kernels are binary compatible between each other, but the user space isn't
>thus android is Linux just as much as GNU is

Windows server
Now gtfo please

Modern ultrabooks may as well be called netbooks

still very sad desu

stfu bait boi
every supercomputer on the planet runs linux

Ultrabooks went from macbook clone that's actually good to underpowered piece of shit that cooks your balls. Why did it have to happen?

>70% smartphones
Nope. Android is not linux, and can run on any kernel or os (java), such as bsd, oracle, nt, also linux no longer is kernel for android.

>Every
Nope.
Solaris.
z/OS.
Windows Server.
BSD.

Can you elaborate?

Only a problem if you have balls

webm

C#

webm seems to have taken off, care to elaborate?

>no 6 buttons
Controller was shit. At least og Xbox had a proper 6 button controller.

gay apple retards cannot view webm so no websites other than Jow Forums use it. no dev wants double the work (and power consumption for encoding twice, one time for every os) for minimal bandwidth benefit.
I hate that it is this way.

Controller ports seem so dated now.
I hadn't bought a console in a decade, but surely 4+ controllers can be connected via bluetooth now right?

I would say a console even having an optical drive is pretty pointless too. Please tell me newgen consoles use some type of ssd cartridge for games now?

>watch your character piss in a toilet

wat game is this?

Fucking applel

that's what I'd like to know.
I know it was on a Generator Demo Disc, but I checked both volumes 1 & 2 and none of the games match. Fucking weird

The game had futuristic hovering cars..and you could piss in a toilet. I need to find this shit!

optical media can be sold. only natural that gamer cattle creeps up the publishers asses and wants to get rid of its own rights to resell.

alright well, I checked every US demo disk for dreamcast. Didn't see it. I really don't know why I can't find it.

Maybe I had a rare demo disk in which it contained an unleashed game.

I know the game's setting took place in a dystopian future. It had cool looking futuristic cars. You could walk around and I specifically remember walking into a bathroom and pissing inside a urinal.

I mean it did take off. Java is just bigger still.

betamax!

I wish I still had mine. Le Mans 24 Hours was THE best racing game of its day.

You'll find your pee fetish game someday

I only mentioned piss because at that time, it felt really realistic and immersive, like GTA(before 3D GTA was even made)

i like to call it Android/Linux

It was shit and you know it. Thank god they thought better of that design.

Why does this look like shit? Can OS/2 not draw circles properly or something?

LOL. How far is your head up your ass? You have to pay to use wangblows server. The majority of the web uses linux. Easily outnumbers internal corporate servers.

Why is Windows 10 so hated on g?

And that's because Microsoft took the shared source and ran. WINNT.

Pasta to show retardation.

Botnet garbage, but you can disable it.

But flat panel TV's did take off in a huge way.

Is this serious? I honestly can't even tell anymore with this website. If so, please explain. I think AMD has done well being the budget alternative of intel

Because it spies on you, forces new unwanted ads on your start menu every update, and pushes cloud junk too hard.

This makes me way more angry than it should. I never heard about SED screens before and Wikipedia is telling me that they would have been 1) OLED quality blacks 2) CRT levels of draw time and input lag 3) less power than LCDs.

FUCK

Idk. I dualboot and prefer linux over windows, but whenever I mentioned windows having an advantage over linux, I get bombarded with autistic posts. Windows does suck dick though, only good for vidya and hardware support.

>it spies on you
Idk how much of this is true, but I know it constantly send data to M$.
>forces new unwanted ads on your start menu every update, and pushes cloud junk too hard.
I haven't seen anything of the sort. M$ does respect some of your choices.

Isn't this the same as LCD except with minature CRTs as the pixels, meaning you'd still be limited to good images only when running at native resolution?

What's wrong with mp4?

>Isn't this the same as LCD except with minature CRTs as the pixels
Actually it's closer to plasma, but without the retarded size limitations
>you'd still be limited to good images only when running at native resolution
That's not an issue. You can't have both sharp pictures and dynamic resolutions without a compromise
