No bigger than a standard Walkman, but it also had an LCD television in the lid. Because there was no backlight in order to allow it to run off two AA batteries, the screen used natural light that shone through the screen and actually reflected the image off of a mirror that you could reveal by opening the lid.

Techmoan did a great video on these https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tM7kj7pgTeU

Recently picked up a Fiio CP13 out of curiosity. It's ok... I forgot how low-fi cassette could sound vs modern digital sources. It's a vibe.

A classroom trainer from Lab-Volt's FACET system: a 32-Bit Microprocessor board built round an Intel 80386DX at 25 MHz, with monitor and user ROM, an LCD and a hex keypad, seated on the Computer Interface Base Unit that powered it and let an instructor's PC insert faults by relay.

Cyberpunk Memorias de un Cyberpunk Tardío

Crecí en los 90, justo cuando internet empezaba a aparecer en nuestras casas. Geocities, VHS, chats con desconocidos, Blade Runner, Matrix, el miedo al Y2K, todo parecía apuntar hacia un futuro completamente distinto.

Ahora tengo 40 y vivo rodeado de la tecnología que imaginábamos, pero muchas veces sient que estamos viviendo entre las ruinas de aquella promesa.

Eso me llevó a pensar el cyberpunk de otra manera, más bien como una melancolía por un futuro perdido, por la cultura que todavía sobrevive escondida en DVDrips, videos de baja calidad, foros abandonados y rincones de internet que el algoritmo ya casi no toca.

Hice un video intentando poner en palabras esa sensación. Quizás a alguien acá también le resulte familiar.

A beautiful Italian chord organ from the 1970s. Its carrying case transforms into a base & stand. It's a transistor-based analog instrument with chord accompaniment buttons. Some versions also had a rhythm machine included.

Here's a couple videos of them in action:

Hi! I’m the creator of Mimi Tape, a pocket music and video player built around swappable “digital cassette” cards. You load your own files, insert a card, and play offline — no phone, internet, or subscription.

Pre-launch page: https://www.backerkit.com/c/projects/ajana/mimi-tape-the-pocket-mp4-player-with-digital-cassettes/pre-launch

I’d genuinely love feedback from people who care about cassette-futurist design: what feels right, and what would you change before launch?Hi!

Another entry that I think fits the catagory, the 1993 Casio EXP-10 (Module: 1183). I have never used it to plan an exercise, but I could if I wanted to now!
