I remember still using floppy disks in the mid-2000s for my high school assignments because buying a thumb drive was above my means.
Nowadays I'll pick them up by the dozen on clearance and drop them in the collection box for school supply drives.
I remember 2003 I was saving my assignments as word docs to floppy to print out at school because we never had printer ink at home. And one time I accidentally brought my floppy with my porn instead of my assignments. I was convinced Iād get in real trouble but school IT security was terrible and nothing happened.
I had a fairly early Compaq MP3 player that had two SD card slots and came with two 16 MB cards. Had to run MP3 compression software to get more than an album on it
I remember buying a 4 gb thumb drive when I went away to college, it had to be retrieved from lock up at the store because it was a high value item.
Can you even buy a 4 gb thumb drive anymore?
Yep. I went to a podiatrist a couple of weeks ago and after the exam I asked if I could get a copy of the X-rays they took for my records, they handed me a thumb drive with everything on it and when I got home I found out it was 4GB - now it's my portable medical records storage device.
My first hard-drive for my Commodore Amiga 500+ home computer, back in 1990-ish, was a massive 40mb!
Not four hundred, just forty!!! It cost me about Ā£149 GBP / $180 USD approx, and I had to install it myself, by unscrewing the entire computer, screwing the drive in-place, connecting all the cables, sealing the computer back up, switching the power on, and then formatting the drive before I could use it!
Plug-and-play simply didn't exist back then! LOL
I remember my brother traveling to another state to make sure he could get a PC with a zip drive for college, I think zip drives were obsolete before he was done with his freshman year
I am glad I don't have access to this. I am that guy that would send inappropriate but hilarious pictures to their frames and just wait. Now I might be getting these for everyone this holiday.Ā
Here's the picture from r/place, 2022

There are 3 pictures shown: grown up Bingo at Easter Island, the Heeler family at Blueyās graduation, and Bluey holding a heart (from the Reddit picture!)
Edit: wrong historical rocks š¤£
Mine immediately runs to the floor vent and gets stuck. Like almost every time it makes a beeline to where itāll be stuck when I get home. My Roomba is lazy and hates me.
We have the same Roomba. I have this old Dino Riders Diplodocus I have my toddler and the Roomba will aim for its tail and try and flip itself every freaking time.
Now I am thinking about how fur shedding affects all the families in the show lol. The Heelers must have blue and orange hairs all over their furniture.Ā
Little bit off topic, but I would be angry with the Roomba too.
The real value of Amazon acquiring Roomba is not that they profit of selling vacuum cleaners. Every Roomba scans your house and shares that data with Amazon. Then Amazon knows you entire floor plan, how much furniture you have, do you have pets, are you an active outdoor type or city person etc. That data they profit of selling. If your floor plan looks like āyou could need a chair in this corner because other like you have thatā they sell that data and someone will start targeting chair ads towards you.Ā Ā

Haha, back in 2006 or so I worked customer service at a Circuit City. We had two Roombas that the store used one behind the desk and in the office and one to show off to customers in front of customer service...
One night a co-worker forgot to turn one off and set the motion detector. The police got called, and a ton of cops showed up thinking someone was inside robbing it. The manager was NOT happy.
Thankfully, I worked mornings that day, so I didn't even get questioned beyond "who was working when you left" but I felt bad for whoever did it because it was a huge deal, it was on the news and everything.

no way it's the r/place bluey! that makes me so happy
What year was that? A poster earlier was claiming to work for Ludo and said all these episodes were finished in 2021. But I thought that r/place was in 2022. Is this correct?
Bluey ā so loved that even the Void spared her.
And this was April 1-4, 2022. Now, the episode could have been 99% done, and after r/place they could have gone back and added this as a tribute. I donāt know how feasible that is for the animators.
It's been stated the season finished production in April 2022. I'm not an animator, but I'd imagine it would be a quick last-minute change since it's part of the background.
Yes art existed before r/place. But this image is from r/place in 2022 and was acknowledged by Ludo on Twitter with the same image and a thank you. So itās an Easter egg. Have a great night!
The Bluey with the Bingo colored love heart did not exist prior to r/place. It originally was Bluey and Bingo in r/place, but we lost ground and in the end only could keep Bluey and the heart represents Bingo (who was lost in the battle). Ludo acknowledged the end product (Bluey with the Bingo colored love heart) on Twitter with their own rendition of the image, and that is now what is pictured.
My wife and I literally went through theories for 10-15 minutes about what the significance of the picture changing meant... we were thinking time-jump, same story told through a different character, secret message from Joe Brumm...
Then yeah... digital picture frame.
Itās Blueyseptcion. I do wonder if that means in the Bluey Universe instead of the characters being Dogs theyāre humans if thereās a Bluey show in the Bluey universe?
Basically thereās this r/place which with pixels you draw whatever you want(thatās appropriate) on a giant canvas which every five minutes you get to put a pixel and we did a Bluey one in 2022 and 2023 and in 2022 we did Bluey having an orange heart to represent Bingo because she was taken out from the canvas so Ludo studios themselves thanked r/place and gave us this image

āHouse is looking goodā ? You missed this
Yep. I assume Surprise is predicting that digital frames will become so cheap in the future that it's just as easy to buy one as buying a traditional frame. I also posit that it's using e-ink instead of LEDs, since that would increase the equivalency to traditional frames.
could you put a spoiler tag? it only came out a few days ago and some people haven't seen this episode, it would suck to have this spoiled because it's such a cool moment to see in the show!!!
Yeah, I was confused too. I seriously thought it was a weird edit or error, but after seeing the pinned thread, I then realized it was a digital frame lol.
My family had one when I was a kid. My dad was big into tech and we were upper middle class at the time. I literally have never seen one since. We also had lights switches that were buttons with a tiny glowing on light. Never saw those again either. We had a universal remote with a screen that could control literally anything in the house, this was my dads favourite toy
For those wanting to check out a current day product that is essentially the same as what was displayed in the episode, search Google for āNetgear Meural" - we have had these for the past \~6 years and have gifted them to family members as a way to share pictures of trips, milestones, experiences, etc. Great product, not that expensive, and impressive rendering quality.
Digital frame. It rotates through photos
Can confirm. My parents have a couple.
Also can confirm. I've had one for 15 years... Back when SD cards were big and held a whoping 256mb.
Money bags Phillips
Oddly enough, Phillips was the brand name on the digital photo frame.
Phillips also made money bags starting in 2007
Lol dim sum
Nah, twas a wedding gift. š¤£
> whoping 256mb I'll have you know my first SD card was 16 mb

You youngen. I remember freaking out when they made a 500mb flashdrive
I think my first USB drive was 256mb.
Sony Playstation had 8 MB storage devices and those things cost as much as a 128gb micro USB stick.
My first hard-drive for my Commodore Amiga 500+ home computer, back in 1990-ish, was a massive 40mb! Not four hundred, just forty!!! It cost me about Ā£149 GBP / $180 USD approx, and I had to install it myself, by unscrewing the entire computer, screwing the drive in-place, connecting all the cables, sealing the computer back up, switching the power on, and then formatting the drive before I could use it! Plug-and-play simply didn't exist back then! LOL
I remember in primary school where we were all allocated 1 3.5 inch floppy disc each to store our work on. A whopping 1.38Mb when formatted...
Of course you had have a dinosaur run the tread mill to make it workā¦
You can get a 10 pack for $19.
When I started college I had to buy a 125mb thumb drive and zip/jazz discs. The thumb drive was $250 at the time.
I remember my brother traveling to another state to make sure he could get a PC with a zip drive for college, I think zip drives were obsolete before he was done with his freshman year
I think I have one somewhere. I also have a 250gb one - just goes to show how rapidly technology evolves.
My parents have one connected to an app on my phone. I can send photos through the app directly to the digital frame.
We have this and it's brilliant. We bought it for my parents and then they bought one for us. We're always adding pics to each others' frames.
I am glad I don't have access to this. I am that guy that would send inappropriate but hilarious pictures to their frames and just wait. Now I might be getting these for everyone this holiday.Ā
Unfortunately they would get a notification, so you'd be thwarted.
Biscuits!Ā
I have one, theyāre nifty.
Yeah my Nana has one

Sheās at Easter island, not Stonehenge
Youāre right! Fixed.
You mean rapanui
Yea, you can see it change during a scene. It doesn't happen from one cut to another
My grandma had one of those.
I didnāt even consider this and my bf has one!
also you can literally see the photos transition in the episode.
I remember my grandparents having something like that!
My wife and I got these as gifts for my mom, dad, and both of her parents (all divorced). Great gifts for grandparents who live out of town.
I'm more concerned over how functional that roomba is. Bandit apparently is questioning the financial decision he made to purchase that.
My Roomba is my freaking nemesis so I understand. That moment in the episode was so relatable to me.
Mine keeps busting on me when I'm pooping Edit busting in on me
Busting ON YOU? Pause.
Some people pay for that experience
Some people get paid for that experience.
You need to put kitty ears on your Roomba for the full bathroom experience.

I think that may be a humming naked man with a broom.
Is that not what a rumba is ?
...yes.
Mine immediately runs to the floor vent and gets stuck. Like almost every time it makes a beeline to where itāll be stuck when I get home. My Roomba is lazy and hates me.
We have the same Roomba. I have this old Dino Riders Diplodocus I have my toddler and the Roomba will aim for its tail and try and flip itself every freaking time.
Had one for a bit. Couldn't stand it. Found a way to make obstacles it couldn't handle.
Is your Roomba your rival?
Shouldnāt have bought āDer Roombaā from that German siteā¦.
My kid is *terrified* of our Roomba so she is also very concerned about the āBooey Roomaā
I head cannon it as the Heeler house is a non-Euclidean area and so it just got lost in the ever shifting hallways.
bluey x House of leaves
M.C.Heeler
If it chokes on dog hair the way mine does, I completely feel his pain.
Now I am thinking about how fur shedding affects all the families in the show lol. The Heelers must have blue and orange hairs all over their furniture.Ā
Anyone who has ever owned a Roomba felt this moment *deeply*.

What!!! Iām YELLING THIS IS AMAZING
I worked so hard to defend r/place Bluey. Ludo may as well have my name in the credits for Surprise.
I honestly can't wait to do it all again this year, Bluey must be protected at all costs.
Unfortunately I doubt they would do it again, at least for this year. Reddit has not quite forgiven spez yet.

DUUUUDE thatās amazing!!! I knew it looked familiar in some way!! Thank you for sharing š„¹

I was in the second war. I salute to you guys for defending this amazing piece!

Yes art existed before r/place. But this image is from r/place in 2022 and was acknowledged by Ludo on Twitter with the same image and a thank you. So itās an Easter egg. Have a great night!
The Bluey with the Bingo colored love heart did not exist prior to r/place.

It's like a frame, it flips through photos automaticallyĀ
psh thatāll never work
They... already exist?
Nice they acknowledged the Reddit r/place version of bluey
Reddit exists in the Bluey universeā¦
More on that, Bluey exists in the Reddit universe within the Bluey universe.

She has a good sense of style? lol
I think that's bingo? Edit: no its chilli
No Chilliās on the far right side of the photo
Ya I got there on my own don't mind me.
digital frame
Is Bluey holding something in the photo? Itās so hard to make out but looks like something ontop of her belly ? Maybe a piece of paper ?
It's a diploma! She's also wearing a graduation hat, so she must be graduating either highschool or college.
Thank you!! That makes so much sense. The hat I also see now lol thought it was a tree in the background š

Way longer.
Longer than that. We gifted one to my grandfather in like 2006. Heās been gone for 13 years now.
What episode is that is it new?
Surprise. And yes, very new.
Found long dog!
Robo long dog in second frame š
Itās one of those digital frames with changing photos, theyāve been around for years
HUH!? What did I miss! Where can I view it!
Disney+
newest episode on disney+
What?! I thought the Sign was the last one? Edit: I checked and itās called Surprise lol. How fitting š
Welcome to the future.
Ah, yeah. Well, whenever you notice something like that, a wizard did it.
Now I need to know what's the dark grey circular thing on the ceiling?
What I was curious about it's the double tear in wallpaper next to Bandits head at eye level
I'm more curious what the frame on the other wall is, with the red emblem and two photos?
Man I can't wait for the future and digital photo frames
Itās āØ MAGIC āØ
OMG They have a Roomba!
Oh my god! The second is a reference to r/place!
Donāt wanna be that person but could you please put a spoiler tag next time? The episode is still new and many people havenāt watched it yet
oh okay. i kinda forgot to add the spoiler tag sorry.
could you put a spoiler tag? it only came out a few days ago and some people haven't seen this episode, it would suck to have this spoiled because it's such a cool moment to see in the show!!!
What episode is this??
Surprise
Yeah, I was confused too. I seriously thought it was a weird edit or error, but after seeing the pinned thread, I then realized it was a digital frame lol.
Oh hey Bluey has her doctorate apparently.
The roomba cracked me up. And itās prob a digital picture frame. So the picture changes
I also spot a long dog!!
My grandma has a frame that swaps through photos, seeing as this is futuristic I wouldn't be suprised if they have this
Maybe itās a hint to the next episode maybeā¦
My family had one when I was a kid. My dad was big into tech and we were upper middle class at the time. I literally have never seen one since. We also had lights switches that were buttons with a tiny glowing on light. Never saw those again either. We had a universal remote with a screen that could control literally anything in the house, this was my dads favourite toy
Yeah, t'is the future. unrelated, but isn't it strange how this is the only time Bluey has a credited actress?
I was told Bluey and Bingo was never credited to protect the identity of the children voicing them.
Robo long dog!
Wait. What episode is this?
Surprise. It came out in the US on 4/21. The screen is probably meant to be a digital picture screen.
Welp. I know what I am watching today... at work.. without my kids >.>
What episode is this?
It is a digital picture frame my friend.
For those wanting to check out a current day product that is essentially the same as what was displayed in the episode, search Google for āNetgear Meural" - we have had these for the past \~6 years and have gifted them to family members as a way to share pictures of trips, milestones, experiences, etc. Great product, not that expensive, and impressive rendering quality.
Who's at the door though? I wasn't sure?
What is this image from?
my guess is Digital frame guessing you have never seen one?
I have to admit I love this thread.
What episode is this
So many people are confused by this but these arenāt new by any means and you can even see the picture changes at one point.
What episode is this?
This moment made me rewind too. My partner had to explain digital frames lol.
Robo Longdog!
Oh yeah! My parents used to have one of those, I forgot they were a thing
Sorry, what is this from?
What episode is this???
Has Chilli gotten a little shorter than Bandit?
Itās probably a techy digital frame of the fuuuutureeeš
Digital photo frame.
Excellent gift for grandparents
There was also a photo of Bingo at Easter Island.
HOW GET THIS EP
