>Remember when Apple's website was the only place to watch trailers?

holy shit this
Real Player >>>>>>>>>>> Quick TIme

>I miss the good ol days
I don't, gametrailers.com was fucking cancer, shit quality videos and shill reviews.

rent free

what a weird flashback that gave me. my first major site way, way back had RealPlayer stuff. I remember that.

iomega zip drives couldn't die fast enough.
Killed by the CD-R
It was as if you could afford one, then you must have fell out of the sky from heaven itself.

3.5" floppy disks. There had to be a good few years in the 90s/early 2000s where USB flash drives weren't much of a thing and most files you wanted to move around were too big for them.

Also, maybe I was just unlucky but I remember a lot of floppy disks dying or corrupting the files.

I don't even remember why or when I had to use RealPlayer.

It was pretty poplar for TV episodes back in the day. 35MB per episode, with early 2000s video codecs, egad.

easily killed by cd-r as zip drives were notoriously unreliable for use as any permanent storage. i'm glad they're dead.

swf definately has it's charm.

you weren't unlucky. they were just absolutely god damned awful. i lost quite a few pc and amiga disks due to errors and corruption.

i just love this board. you get to see clueless fucking cancers like yourself just fail miserably at life and everything that you do. how are you this fucking retarded, cunt? birth defect? bad car accident? just fuck off and die, you sad iTODDLER.

Worst player ever. For a long time, it could not play in fullscreen.

The only reason to use this now is for video Downloading. Even then, there are replacements.

I bet I'm older than you, you millennial cancer

>The only reason to use this now is for video Downloading
are you fucking serious? it still exists and you use it for something? are you mental?

use youtube-dl and IDM you mong

real player was based, it had a browser plugin that let me download flash videos back when I had no clue what I was doing

I don't get it.

flash came back in the form of js frameworks?

I fell for this meme by getting one as an internal drive and a couple disks and barely used the damn thing.

You still use it?!? What the fuck are you doing? Use literally anything else.

...so they could commit new fresh mistakes

But js frameworks are just js? You don't have to install them.

there aren't much in the nt kernel, maybe if we count pulling graphics into kernel in NT 4

Has there ever been a passively cooled GPU that wasn't shit?

I'm talking within the last decade or so, VooDoo 2s need not apply.

>realPlayer
>QuickTime
those were the days...

Then we all would eventually just download quicktime and realplayer alternative codecs to get them to play on other media players for a time then they totally became irrelevant formats.

had one of those (yes the green one) ... worked gud!

You fucking motherfucker. You reminded me that I had to administer a RealServer. Thanks.

But it still was better than Blackberry Enterprise Server. Or a Barracuda hardware load balancer.

OK, what is rent free supposed to mean? Prostitution?

It's a reference to the concept of living in someone's head rent-free.

I don't know if this was just me but I felt like floppies were very sensitive to anything magnetic or staticy

This one served me well.

the do you expect from the fisher price of "tech"-companies?

Just ziptie a large fan running at 800 rpm and you are fine

It's the marketing departments who fucked up everything by saying that you should be running those without any kind of active cooling at all. The usual default fans in cards back in those days sounded like a fucking jet engines and having a decent sized heatsinks to put normal case fans around would have been a definite improvement.

jesus what the fuck was that? like the windows version of quick time player or something? i think no one brought it up because no one ever had to use it for anything. i remember that windows tried to open something with it by some default setting but it didn't work and that was the end of my run-in with silverlight.
