We peaked with screensaver technology with the one with all those pipes
You joke but way back in the day those 3D pipes caused a little IT chaos...
Gonna call bs on that one
Their story may be embellished but the problem was legitimate at one point.
After dark flying toasters.
I found a few of these old screensavers and another one which lets you have a random selection between like 10 of them. It all still works on Windows 11
Starfield, 3d pipes and flying toasters are amongst the selection, I couldn't seem to get Jonny castaway working unfortunately

Hey, my Matrix code screensaver ca. 2002 was the shit. Granted, I probably got three different viruses downloading it for three hours over our landline.
I wonder how much time I clocked watching that
Rumor is if you change the elbows to have those knobs on the elbow you can see a toilet randomly show up after 3 hours!
Puhleeze.
Homer Simpsons eating my screen was the peak of screen savers.
Though, I guess it wasn't much of a 'saver' if it was being eaten...
I submit for consideration the Monty Python screensavers which were actually playable games.
Windows NT 3.51 gang represent!
It is sad this screensaver has not carried over to the latest versions of Windows. Maybe a 4k remaster is needed.
