ITT technology that used to be really common but is now almost completely gone
>>109735280Might be a more interesting thread if you tell us what that boomer crap is.
Guess type c wonned
>>109735294It's a transparency projector. You print images or text on sheets of transparent plastic and place them on the glass panel, which is illuminated from below. A fresnel in the glass focuses the light toward the reflector on top, which redirects the image toward the wall. They were common in US public schools until a couple decades ago.
>>109735280there were LCD panels you could put on those to turn them into video projectorshttps://youtu.be/uASRAWlDZQo
>>109735614Our school had that combo when we got taught how to make Christmas trees in Word and do basic calculation in Excel around 1998.
what is even that thing? looks cringe
Every bar at one point seemed to have one of these Seleco low end 15khz only crt projectors.
>>109735320The buses in my area proudly introduced USB A charging sockets in them around a decade ago complete with backlighting and I regularly see people STAB it with their C plugs of their smartphones as if they're going literally crazy that for some unknown reason it won't fit.
>>109735280People I work with call power point presentations "foils". It's pervasive enough that new grads have started doing it too. Christ.

>>109735320They're still everywhere.But a new high end motherboard and it has way more USB-A ports than USB-B>>109735695You must live in a particularly retarded city - have they never seen an A to C cable?
>>109735280these were better than the burned out beamers most classrooms have today
>>109735614Yes but projectors have also been superseded by large TV's.It's amazing how cheap large TV's are now.
>>109735785Do you not understand that half of the population has an IQ below 100, and that most of those are poor (busriders)?
>>109735785>You must live in a particularly retarded cityNot sure, it was in multiple places.>2 zoomerlettes>1 middleaged woman>1 guy in his 20s (admittedly he only stabbed once, then realizing he needs an a plug. the others tried repeatedly tho and one of the zoomies went to fucking town literally)
>>109735320USB-C is a glorified phone charger connector, nothing more.
>>109735836>Women.
>>109735280What do you mean? It's still in use todayhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=656058JxTM0
That was what Boomers used before PowerPoint. You put transparent sheets of plastic on there and would have to write the slides by hand and use a special printer or copier.
>>109735673My grandpa had one of these in his party basement
>>109735725Yeah, extremely thick cigarette smoke everywhere that catches half of the projected light and extremely drunk people either singing karaoke or watching sports. Tubes driven at max brightness since start and worn out with extreme burn-in.
>>109736242They also sold overhead film that you could print on with a regular inkjet or laser printer. I think you can still order it online. t. boomerlennial who used it for presentations in school
>>109736445I can feel the vibe
>>109736242There was also Multi-image with multiple slide projectors driven by computer control for more elaborate presentations if you had lots of money to spare.https://youtu.be/tSf7BFnObmchttps://youtu.be/g3G81UDLd2Y
>>109735867>vs glorifed flash drive connector

>>109736002>in which /g/ learns the meaning of the word "almost"
>>109735823>It's amazing how cheap large TV's are now.They figured out how to use those TV's as a botnet to scrape the entire internet for AI training.Try banning a billion residential IPs all asking for a couple pages of your website randomly.They're just another reason why the internet is garbage.
>>109735280Always hated those things. Especially if you were seated at the back of the class and it was impossible to read.
>>109736783>>109736453It was always impossible to stay awake in the class right after lunch if they used the overhead projector with the lights off
>>109736609Why bother hedging if it's just gonna be ignored. :-)
>>109735867USB-C can power a laptop while connecting it to a monitor and all peripheral devices.I'd say it's a glorified connector period.
