Who would have thought on putting the simple and prevailing combo Ctrl + Alt + Down Arrow as a default hotkey for this? And in a program you didn't even intentionally installed? Stupid Intel driver programmers, thanks for nothing, really. Still wondering if this came to life as an internal joke. https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000...

I thought that at first, but it is very handy when I take my laptop between normal monitor and vertical monitor.

The problem is not that the feature exist, it's that is set as default with key combos that are the standard way for selecting text, one of the most common use cases of the computer keyboard, afaik.

I might have done this: http://www.ex-parrot.com/pete/upside-down-ternet.html to an entire business division for a while. Might have.

There was an Apple ][ game that did something similar. I think it might have been King's Quest. In the era when people used hole punchers to make flippy disks, if you accidentally put the game disk in your machine upside down, the game displayed upside down. Today you can make any Mac's display turn upside down with a few clicks in System Preferences. Someone in my office may or may not make this happen on machines t…

"Salut c'est cool" is a French collective / group of friends doing this with websites, music, videos, everything. They ended up making a name in the music business, playing on huge music festivals since 2010, for the very reason of making everything quick & dirty for the fun. Lots of people want that actually.

Website : http://salutcestcool.com/

Check out their Christmas Calendars (2010-2014) in the "Trucs" section. Funny stuff. There you can find "Facebook 2" http://www.salutcestcool.com/quatre/facebook2/ or "make a webpage in a few clicks" : http://www.salutcestcool.com/quatre/page/

Oh man, I love stuff like this. It's too bad that the web has been taken over by bootstrap, WordPress, and squarspace. But you can do a lot with raw html, css, and JavaScript! And as a bonus, it ends up looking really unique. It's sort of weird that whenever I show friends the dumb shit I make [1], their immediate reaction is lump it in with geocities. [1] ex. http://fastcashmoneyplus.biz

I went through this up to where it actually asked for Ether -- is it real? Have people actually bought it? Regardless, this is art.

It is real! A few friends and co-workers bought some, and I traded 500 fastcash to my roommate for a bagel. Two internet strangers also bought a little bit.

I view it more as a donation-based project than an investment, so if you feel like buying me a beer, you should buy some fastcash :)

Reminds me of the Bloomberg tech site, which had a lot of effort put into its 'brutalist' design to look like a 1995-era web page.

https://www.bloomberg.com/politics/404 https://www.bloomberg.com/politics/500 https://www.bloomberg.com/500 Their error pages are still quite funny (and epic shit).

These are amazing, thanks for sharing!

Fortunately web is going behind the subscription model in accelerating speed. In a few years, when we can't justify subscribing to dozens of websites and paying hundreds of bucks for content we have no time to read, we're back in usenet reading single copy-pasted (pirated) articles for free.

Shouldn't this literally be a single page, hand-built HTML file with inline CSS? Is this trying to be self-ironic or something? Yes, I'm going to assume that is a parody. However, signs of FrontPage or Word as an editor would be cool.

I guess we now have an answer to what comes after material design. Somebody tell the maintainers of Bootstrap so we can have the entire internet updated asap.

That is on purpose, to satire the overkill on many websites.

Well if it was meant as satire, I don't feel it was successful. If it was meant as an example to replicate, I don't feel it was successful.

Eh. This design trend is on the way out - 2016 was its hey day.

You totally don't have to do any of this to make this page work, I'm pretty sure all that js code is completely unnecessary...

Is it possible she is of a generation that really has no experience coding a website by hand using no frameworks or any fancy code?
