We peaked with screensaver technology with the one with all those pipes

You joke but way back in the day those 3D pipes caused a little IT chaos...

Gonna call bs on that one

Their story may be embellished but the problem was legitimate at one point.

After dark flying toasters.

I found a few of these old screensavers and another one which lets you have a random selection between like 10 of them. It all still works on Windows 11

Starfield, 3d pipes and flying toasters are amongst the selection, I couldn't seem to get Jonny castaway working unfortunately

Hey, my Matrix code screensaver ca. 2002 was the shit. Granted, I probably got three different viruses downloading it for three hours over our landline.

Puhleeze.

Homer Simpsons eating my screen was the peak of screen savers.

Though, I guess it wasn't much of a 'saver' if it was being eaten...

I submit for consideration the Monty Python screensavers which were actually playable games.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

I wonder how much time I clocked watching that

Rumor is if you change the elbows to have those knobs on the elbow you can see a toilet randomly show up after 3 hours!

Windows NT 3.51 gang represent!

It is sad this screensaver has not carried over to the latest versions of Windows. Maybe a 4k remaster is needed.
