Before there were retroreflective coatings on road signs, some places used retroreflective dots to trace the letters and shapes.

Pizza theorem (en.wikipedia.org)
 

This is what happens when you ask a mathematician to find a way to fairly divide a pizza. As of a few years ago, we now also know this works for 4D pizzas as well!

Telharmonium (en.wikipedia.org)
 

A 19th-century synthesizer that broadcast music over telephone lines. You'd pay to listen to electronic telephone concerts. The power needed was so great that the music signal would crosstalk to nearby phone lines.

It only ran for a handful of years. As this got started, radio was becoming more widespread.

These kinds of gadgets fascinate me. They were only useful for a short period of time before something else came along and obsoleted them. The Telharmonium was like this as well.

Newgrounds is considering adding activitypub support but is concerned about hosting fees for serving images to millions of people in c/fediverse@lemmy.world
[–] silverchase@sh.itjust.works 18 points 1 month ago

Newgrounds is dead serious about preserving its content, even with the death of Flash. Ruffle, the Flash emulator, was created by a former employee and Newgrounds is a major sponsor of the project. The most important movies have been converted to video as well.

When Newgrounds adopted high-resolution thumbnails about a decade and a half ago, there was a big volunteer campaign to recreate thumbnails for the entire back catalogue of the portal.

Thanks to Ruffle, people can and are still submitting Flash content to the portal, in addition to web-friendly content!
