The latest version, the Floppotron 2.0, has 64 floppy drives, eight hard drives, and two flatbed scanners.
The first version of the Floppotron was made in 2011.
It is made of two floppy drives and an ATMega microcontroller.
The sound is made by the magnetic head being moved by its stepper motor.
The floppy drive's heads have be moved at the correct speed to make the correct sound.
In 2016, Paweł Zadrożniak made a better version of the Floppotron, which has 64 floppy drives, 8 hard drives, and two flatbed scanners.
Every column of eight floppy drives is controlled by an ATMega16 microcontroller, and the hard drives are controlled by two SMD MOSFETs that push and pull.
The flatbed scanner head are controlled by Arduino Uno boards.
Any device that has an electric motor can make sound.
Scanners and floppy drives use stepper motors to move the head with sensors that scan an image, or read or write, onto a magnetic disk.
The faster the motor, the higher the pitch of the sound the motor makes.
Hard disks use a magnet and a coil to tilt the head.
When voltage is supplied for long enough, the head speeds up and hits the bound, which makes the "drum hit” sound.
Song covers
As of April 2019, Paweł Zadrożniak's YouTube page shows more than one hundred songs played with the Floppotron.
Some of those songs are Queen's "Bohemian Rapsody", Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit", White Stripes's "Seven Nation Army", Eurythmics' "Sweet Dreams" and Michael Jackson's "Thriller".

The Intellivision Amico is a video game console made by Intellivision Entertainment.
The console was revealed in October 2018 and pre-orders started in April 2019.
The console will come out on April 15, 2021, delayed from October 10, 2020, along with 40 games being made for then.
Most games will be 2D or 2.5D. Other games will be 3D games the company thinks are easy to play and learn.
The company helps studios make games for the console with whatever the studios need.
All games will have features they will only have on the console.
All games will be rated E (Everyone) or E10+ (Everyone 10+) by the ESRB, or PEGI 3 or PEGI 7 by PEGI.
Intellivision Entertainment plan to release new games, motion control games, card games and other tabletop games, educational games, and updated classic video games, such as some Intellivision games, some from Imagic, and Atari and arcade games, of which Moon Patrol and BurgerTime will come out at about the same time as the console.
Some Intellivision compilations will have licenses from third-parties, such as Tron: Deadly Discs.
Games can be downloaded for $9.99 or less when the console comes out, later a higher amount less than $40, or from an RFID card for US$20 to US$30.
All games can be played by one player or, because the goal of the system is to go back to family gaming and co-op with people in the same place because the company thinks modern gaming and web-based multiplayer has gone away from that, up to eight players locally.
Online multiplayer is planned for a later date.
In May 2018, Tommy Tallarico said he planned to make a new Intellivision console, and made a new company, Intellivision Entertainment, becoming the president of it.
Intellivision Productions started to name itself Blue Sky Rangers Inc. instead, and Intellivision Entertainment got the video game things they owned instead.
At the Portland Retro Gaming Expo in October 2018, the Intellivision Amico was officially revealed, such as its name, and the fact it would come out on October 10, 2020.
Developer kits were expected to go out in Summer 2019.
In May 2019, Intellivision Entertainment announced its first major game exclusive to the console, a third official Earthworm Jim game, and that it got ten people who helped to work on the original Earthworm Jim team to work on it, all for Earthworm Jim's 25th anniversary.
In June 2019, the Intellivision Amico could first be used in secret at E3 2019, allowing people with influence in the video game industry to play games in development on consoles, and try using the official mobile app that allowed mobile phones to be controllers for the console.
At Gamescom in Cologne, Germany in August 2019, Tommy Tallarico showed a trailer with footage of video games running on the Intellivision Amico to the public for the first time.
In October 2019, Tommy Tallarico came to Insomnia Dubai, a gaming convention held in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, to say they set up an office in Dubai to make the Intellivision Amico come out in the MENA region on October 10, 2020, the same day as in North America and Europe.
The console has Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, RFID, HDMI out, an SD card slot, and three USB ports.
Two of those USB ports can be used for charging, and the remaining USB port allows the console to store more data.
There is a LED ambient lighting system built into the body that can change pattern and color in response to gameplay.
This system is known as Interactive Guidance Lighting.
This feature is intended to make playing games on the console "fun and memorable" while also helping guide players in an interactive way.
The Intellivision Amico comes with two controllers.
They can charge wirelessly when they are placed into their cradle, which is on top of the console, charge using a wired USB-C connection, or charge in both ways at the same time.
They have Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, RFID, speakers, a microphone, an accelerometer, force feedback and a gyroscope.
They also have a  full-color touch screen, four big shoulder buttons, a home button and a 64-way pressure-sensitive directional disc with a ring of LEDs all around it.
The controllers come with wrist straps so they do not fly away during game action if they are not held in a secure way.
Up to six more controllers can connect to the Intellivision Amico.
A smartphone running a free controller smartphone app can be used instead of an Amico controller.
Tommy Tallarico, who is the president of Intellivision Entertainment, has said the games that will be available for the Intellivision Amico will be about 20% updated and re-imagined versions of classic video games, 20% original new games, 20% sports and recreation, 20% board games, dice games, card games, word games and puzzle games, and 20% educational games.
All games will be both single player and multiplayer, with some games allowing up to eight players to play the game at the same time using controllers and/or mobile phones.
Some games will have motion controls, using the accelerometer and gyroscope of the controller.
Some games will have the Karma Gaming Engine, a feature that is intended to give players of all skill levels a fair level of competition against each other by always changing the difficulty for players based on how well they are doing in the game.
Five games will come with the Intellivision Amico, and it will have about forty more games available when it comes out.
Five of the six included games have been announced to be Skiing,  Astrosmash, Shark!
Shark!,
Cornhole, and Farkle.
The name is not official, and might change.

The Intellivision Amico runs an operating system that is based on Android and Linux only made by the company.
In an interview with GamesBeat, Tommy Tallarico said the operating system is "very solid", but "very flexible", saying Linux is the "flexible" part and Android is the "solid" part.

2builders2tools (2b2t) is a Minecraft multiplayer game server founded in 2010 by an unknown owner, known online as Hausemaster.
2b2t is one of the oldest servers in Minecraft.
2b2t is also the oldest server in Minecraft where there are no rules, which Minecraft players like to call an "anarchy server".
The server is running on the same map without a single reset since its creation, with its Spawn area being extremely damaged.
The server has no rules, cheating and griefing are common, in addition to violence and racism in the game chat.
The server became famous among the players of Minecraft thanks to its chaotic nature.
According to the owner of 2b2t, as of March 2021, the server is over 10,300 gigabytes in size, and had over 600,000 players visiting at least once.
The server is also a viral topic on YouTube, with videos about it reaching millions of views on that website.
The Minecraft server 2b2t.org was founded in 2010 by an unknown owner, known online as Hausemaster.
It was advertised on 4chan and Reddit.
Members from different forums launched raids against each other and their work.
YouTuber TheCampingRusher uploaded a YouTube video on June 1, 2016, where he played on 2b2t. This caused a conflict on the server known as "The Rusher War".
A queue to enter the server was soon added due to the massive influx of new players caused by the video's popularity.
Players can also pay $20 to access a separate priority queue for a month.
Since its creation, the server gained attention from the news.
Articles were created about 2b2t on Kotaku, Vice, IGN, Newsweek and The Independent.
In the book Master Builder 3.0 Advanced, in April 2015, 2b2t was described as crazy, that it can get "outright wild," and that the server is a "nightmare wasteland."
The book also stated that it is known as "online royalty" among Minecraft servers.

Tantric yoga is a religious belief.
This ancient practice is actually a powerful combination of asana, mantra, mudra, and bandha (energy lock) and chakra (energy center) work that you can use to build strength, clarity, and bliss in everyday life.
By harnessing and embodying the five forces of Shakti, the female deity that represents creativity and change, Tantric Yoga suggests we can move through the world with more confidence and contentment.
The simple principle of tantra yoga is: whatever can take you down can also take you up.
The ways in which a man usually sinks in his life are through food, alcoholic drink and sexuality.
Tantra yoga uses the same three vehicles to rise up.
Tantric practices, including Tantra yoga, work on the subtle energies within the body to enhance spiritual growth and physical wellbeing.
Through the exploration of these energies and their connection to the universe, the purpose of life and the connection to others can be understood in a new dimension.

Rolli und Rita
Rolli und Rita are two characters who are teenagers and are animated using computers.
In every episode of the series, they appear in a sketch and perform a song.
The characters were said to be the most advanced ones when the series was first shown in 1996.
Baxter Hobbins Slides, which was independent, used 3D motion-capture suits with motion sensors to make animated 3D models so the characters could make the same movements as the actors.
These 3D models were wireframe models at first, then skin and clothes were added to them.
The lip movements of the characters were done by using the real lip movements of the actors filmed behind a blue screen.
The voices in the sketches were later replaced with a version in French for Quinze Minutes Plus as Juju et Juliette, and a version in Spanish for Revista as Julio y Julia.
The characters (mostly Rolli) and the music videos for 'Wann Hast Du Geburtstag?'
and ‘Was Ist Dein Lieblingsfach?’
later became a small meme, due to Rolli's dance movements being very big.
Rolli was voiced by Frido Ruth.
Rita was voiced by Nina Hamm, except for the singing parts, which were voiced by Christina Fry, a professional actress, singer, voice-over artist, comedienne, writer, presenter and cabaretist.

Glide is a  3D graphics API made by 3dfx Interactive for their Voodoo Graphics 3D accelerator cards.
It was proprietary at first, then 3dfx later made it open source.
It was only designed to draw graphics, mostly geometry and texture mapping, in data formats like those used in their cards.
It was popular in the late 1990s because 3Dfx 3D accelerator cards were widely used,  but became obsolete because Microsoft's Direct3D got better, full OpenGL implementations from other graphics card vendors came out, and 3D hardware became more diverse.
Glide is based on the basic geometry and "world view" of OpenGL 1.1.
That version of OpenGL is an API that has 336 calls, most of which were not of use to draw graphics for video games at the time.
Glide was designed to only have the features that were of use to draw graphics for video games at the time.
The allowed the API to be small enough to fully run using late-1990s hardware.
Use in games
Voodoo cards mostly dominated the video game market during the last half of the 1990s because they ran fast and Glide was easy to use.
The name Glide was chosen to reference OpenGL, which it was based on, while being different enough to not make trademark problems happen.
Glide wrappers and emulators
Glide emulator development started in the late 1990s.
Before 3dfx ended, the company tried very hard to stop these attempts, ending early emulation projects using legal threats.
However, a short amount of time before it ended and Nvidia bought its assets, 3dfx made the Glide API, and also the Voodoo 2 and Voodoo 3 specifications, open source, which later became an open source project.
No games released after 1999 only support Glide for 3D acceleration (Direct3D and OpenGL are used instead), but Glide emulation is still needed to run older games with hardware acceleration.
Because the specifications and code are now open source, multiple emulators and wrappers are available that allow older games that use the Glide API to run on non-Voodoo hardware.
Other projects, such as Glidos, allow even older games to use Glide.
