The next one contained a Flintstones rule 34 image, which I won’t include here for obvious reasons.
;-;
Imagine having the time to just do this. Lol I imagine I’d do the same thing, actually.
So how does the heavier-when-inflated bowling pin man work? Does it thrust downwards somehow?
So how does the heavier-when-inflated bowling pin man work?
Usually from 9 to 5.
Lucky. Seems like the sort of thing that would be gig work these days.
Likely answer —we’re being nerds and reading too much into it.
No—
—3 lbs of thrust isn’t going to be happening, speaking from experience with model planes.
—3lbs of the air inside is compressed and weighs more is even farther from possible.Likely—
—It only has the battery, fan, whatever when it’s running, and they don’t count that when it’s uninflated for some reason. Like how cars have dry weight, curb weight, and gvrw.
—somewhere in the spec sheets, someone made a mistake, two people worked on things and rounded differently, some other clerical/communicative error.It could also be just what it “feels like”, based on the measurement method of “made it the fuck up”.
Man THIS is what the Internet was all about
How do these contain random files like this? Isn’t it just a file that applies some kind of visual effect to the media player?
They’re zip files, with the extension renamed. So you could probably have almost anything in one.
Oh so they’re actually created the same way as a zip file? That makes sense I guess. Thanks.
It is literally a zip file. If I remember correctly you have to write some xml which describes the layout of the skin and then include any images you need, you then zip it and change the file extension to wsz. So really you could put anything in a skin.
Wonder how using a zip bomb works out…
I was thinking of moving my “system32” porn archive into a winamp skin. Teenage me would be very proud
The author touches on this near the beginning-
Winamp skins are actually just zip files with a different file extension
So they’re treating them like archives and extracting them
Everything is just a zip file with a different extension
I take issue with “everything”, as most things are not. But it is a common trick when a developer wants to make a “new” file format that encapsulates a bunch of different files.
Everything, including you, is a .zip file.
It’s just .zip files all the way down
I just came here to say stuffit.
Transcription is just unzipping your coding
😧🤐
Seriously though, it’s been some time be afaik any microsoft product file that ends in x, .docx, .xlsx, .pbix are all just archives and you can totally interact with them programmatically if you want. Really easy to corrupt them but hey, found it interesting years ago.
The nostalgia is strong in this one, I love these discoveries.
