Playing Zelda Minish Cap while taking a walk in the woods is truly a vibe.

"Hatsune Miku confessed to Agent 47 but was rejected and fell into a deep sadness before being cured by playing Umamusume: Pretty Derby" was not a sentence I thought I'd ever say and yet here we are.

In 2009, Apple experimented with an iPod built for mobile gaming with a second Click Wheel used for control inputs. It was canned after an engineer showed Jobs and he struggled to complete a game of Tetris due to Click Wheel drift. #AlternateTimelineApple

Experience survival horror the way it was meant to be played - through a supermarket barcode scanner with the gun mapped to a 1D barcode.

If you thought Insanity Mode was bad, here's Resident Evil Requiem being played through a Nintendo 3DS.

In an alternate timeline, a Windows 11 update bricked millions of PCs after it migrated system32 to OneDrive without permission and then shipped a faulty network driver. #AlternateTimelineMicrosoft

The MacBook Neo was originally planned to accompany the MacBook and the MacBook Pro in 2006 as a 12-inch entry model, however the processor limitations resulted it being shelved. That is, until 20 years later when Apple Silicon finally made it possible. #AlternateTimelineApple

If you thought a Mac with 8GB of memory doing professional creative content editing was impressive, here's a Mac with 0.5GB RAM editing 42MP photos taken on a camera 15 years newer than itself.

In an alternate timeline, Apple brands their products like Sony and Sony brands their products like Apple. #AlternateTimelineApple #AlternateTimelineSony

Just bought the new game, but something feels off...?

Are you serious?! #AlternateTimelineNintendo

Just realised OneRepublic's Counting Stars fits almost perfectly with Smile's Butterfly and I don't know what to do with this information.

Had a dream where in an alternate timeline instead of race horses we had anthropomorphic CompactFlash cards and hard drives competing at read/write speeds and it was called UDMAmusume: Pretty Memory. #AlternateTimelineTech

Desperate times truly call for desperate measures, huh... #AlternateTimelineTech

I got roasted by my camera's metadata for being broke and using a slower SD card...

Due to rising NAND prices, Apple takes inspiration from the original MacBook Air and ships the M5 generation of MacBooks with iPod hard drives instead of SSDs. Despite the slower speeds, they earned improved iFixit scores due to the better repairability. #AlternateTimelineApple

Recently stumbled upon the genre of Victorian-era spirit photography and tried to replicate the visual style using modern digital methods.

Just saw this in an alternate timeline. #AlternateTimelineApple #AlternateTimelineThinkPad

My new favourite thing is to take portraits and then edit them to loosely resemble daguerreotype or ferrotype images from the 1800s.

LLMs are starting to mistake my photoshoot edits for actual historical images and it's kinda funny. This was shot with a modern digital camera with the subject edited onto a screenshot background from a video game, then edited in Photoshop.

In an alternate timeline, Microsoft rebrands Word, Excel, Powerpoint to Copilot Word, Copilot Excel, and Copilot Powerpoint. They also deprecate the previous UI in favour of Copilot prompting, which becomes the only way to interact with your document. #AlternateTimelineMicrosoft

Bonus image. #AlternateTimelineMicrosoft

In an alternate timeline, Microsoft rebrands Windows 12 to CopilotOS and boasts a 700-million user increase in Copilot adoption. #AlternateTimelineMicrosoft

I don't think I've ever seen an emerging technology that's driven CEOs from multiple companies to come out in public and ask people to stop saying mean things about it.

The original MacBook Pro was unveiled on January 10th 2006, exactly 20 years ago from today.

In an alternate timeline, Apple made the MacBook Pro with a translucent back plate, similar to the iBook G3. #AlternateTimelineApple

I was playing Ocarina of Time when this eerie chanting began in the music and then stopped abruptly and I don't remember hearing it when I first played the game decades ago. Turns out it was from an audio sample album Nintendo used but removed in later revisions of the game.

Happy new year 2006!

While editing cosplay photos, I accidentally discovered that Photoshop's edge refinement tool has a Bad Apple visualisation mode.

I feel like I've been transported back to the 2010s again.

Apple introduces the all-new MacBook. It features the A20 chip in an unapologetically polycarbonate design, in a throwback to the original 2006 model. It comes in five vibrant colours: White, pink, yellow, blue, and green. #AlternateTimelineApple

Expanding their line of Mac accessories, Apple releases the Magic Click Wheel. With a capacitive touch surface and tactile buttons, it is a dedicated media playback controller for compatible macOS, iOS, and iPadOS devices. 1,000 songs sold separately. #AlternateTimelineApple

Found one of those ear cleaning sticks with a camera but instead of using it for its intended purpose, it turns out these make great wireless microscopes for electronics repair work. I could probably mount it to my soldering iron as a scope too!

Exactly 20 years ago, I received my first iPod as a Christmas gift in 2005. It's a 5th gen and has travelled with me everywhere. The iPod still has the original HDD and battery and still works. What retro Christmas gifts do you still use today, and do they have any fun stories?

Well, this is pretty cool...

Apple and Google agree to add intercompatibility between AirDrop on iPhone and Quick Share on Android. #ActualTimelineApple

You've seen iPod Socks, now get ready for iPhone Thigh-Highs.

In an alternate timeline, the Scottish variant of the orange iPhone 17 Pro was much more resistant to colour-scratching than the international model because it was made by taking the silver version and anodising it in Irn Bru. #AlternateTimelineApple

Screw you *un-professionalises your iPhone 17 Pro* #AlternateTimelineApple

24 years ago today, we all danced around the apartment to the tune of 1,000 songs in our pocket. Happy birthday, iPod!

The 2015 12.9" iPad Pro was not the first time Apple considered making a larger iPad. From the very beginning, they experimented with a 9.7" and a 15.5" iPad model however only the 9.7" made it to production. The yield for 15.5" touchscreens was too low. #AlternateTimelineApple

Mmmmm… something powerful is coming. #AlternateTimelineApple

Okay, but what if...? (dbrand teardown skin image used as reference, the rest is edited by me) #AlternateTimelineApple
