Chrome shows a T. rex when you're offline because with no internet you're back in prehistoric times. Inside Google the project was called Project Bolan, after Marc Bolan, the singer of T. Rex.

The BMW logo is not a spinning propeller, that story comes from a 1929 BMW ad that put the badge on a plane. BMW says it's the blue and white of the Bavarian flag in reverse order, because a company wasn't allowed to copy the state's emblem.

That translucent plastic vibe from the 2000s is back, Sony just showed see-through DualSense controllers. Thoughts?

That roar before movies in American theaters and on DVDs is the THX Deep Note, 30 computer voices a Lucasfilm engineer slid into one chord. Lucasfilm even sued Dr. Dre over a song that sounded too close.

Burger King spent 1999 to 2021 with a shiny logo wrapped in a blue swoosh, then went back to almost exactly its 1969 one. Better?

Toy camera by Toby
叮当猫｜初照 M3 改装套件 a 款 前两天我收到了朋友 Toby 寄来的，由他操刀设计的新相机。这是一台全新的 CCD 相机，采用复古的旁轴造型，但用比较现代的手法来重新呈现。 尽管只是一台玩具相机，但在做工和设计上都足够认真，镜头模组也是一线手机品牌旗舰机型的模组，作为成年人的挂饰玩具来说，实在是过于物超所值了。据说这项目原本要纳入到某个知名设计品牌旗下，最终因为合作议程过于复杂而暂时搁置。 话说回来，因为造型实在太有特色了，而且在设计上几乎是故意预留了给玩家们二次创作的空间（镜头处台阶，补光灯处金属挂口），所以我实在忍不住要给它设计制作一组拓展套件： 扁嘴遮光罩 + 球形握把 ♥️ 打印配置见此： MakerWorld｜叮当猫｜初照 M3 改装套件 a 款 最开始的想法源自于传统小型相机的方形遮光罩，因为我拿到这台相机的第一感觉，就是它比我以为的小太多了，所以我不希望增加一个喇叭形开

The Hollywood sign went up in 1923 as a temporary ad for houses in the hills, and it read HOLLYWOODLAND. By 1949 it was falling apart, and when the city rebuilt it the LAND came down.

The three dots that open a menu have names: standing up ⋮ it's a kebab, lying down ⋯ it's meatballs. Android mostly stands them up, iPhone and Windows lay them down. Kebab or meatballs?
