The Indrema L600 was supposed to launch in 2001 and go head-to-head with the Xbox. It was open-source, had a GPU slide bay for upgrades, and could even record TV while gaming. A prototype was shown running Quake, but no actual units have ever been found. Thoughts?
This screams early 2000s tech dreams.

Looks like aliens designed it for us.

Yep, that time was all about chrome and bubbly designs. Everything looked like it came from a sci-fi movie.

They called it Frutiger Aero. Honestly, I miss it.

Thanks for the reminder. That name was bugging me!

Reminds me of that SpongeBob episode where the future is all chrome.

Actually, someone went to jail for cracking DVD encryption back then. Corporations really hated open-source tech.
@Ridge
Not even joking. That sounds exactly like what would happen in 2001.

Makes sense. Corporate politics were wild.

And now? It’s just as bad or worse. Net Neutrality is gone, too.

What does no Net Neutrality mean for regular people?

It means ISPs can play favorites. For example, they could throttle your streaming unless a service pays extra or block certain websites.
@Corbin
It affects ISPs more than websites. A site like Reddit can still block whatever they want.

Ads everywhere, monopolies, and paying more for less.
@Zion
Net Neutrality mainly stopped ISPs from charging companies like Netflix more for traffic. Competition might have prevented that anyway, though.
