Well, there's dosbox, if it's old enough and doesn't crash.

AMD does quite well on midrange laptops, with a decent graphics solution, good cpu performance, and reasonable power envelope. They aren't so great in ultra low power, and you could go either way in the gaming laptop space. I'd say they're in a pretty good spot right now, and there are more...

Capacitors popping? Yikes!

"Classic" Marathon is available for free on steam, Marathon Infinity and Marathon 2 coming soon. https://store.steampowered.com/app/2398450/Classic_Marathon/

Looks like it is supposed to work on windows, supposedly announced with some ReLive driver update but I haven't found it. You may need to change some settings to get it working, maybe add the game to the xbox thing or look in amd's driver settings for that game.

I wouldn't be surprised, makes more sense to have a very specialized and highly integrated OS, test suite, and hardware imo. That way any bugs can be found easily and fixed before there is a problem. Not to say it has to be unique to the power plant, but something built for that purpose and...

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Variable_refresh_rate Some of this may be outdated or not apply to your distro, but it should be generally informative. I didn't see anything about windowed apps, only that you should disable the compositor if you are in an X11 environment (not necessary on...

I'd love to have it, but wouldn't do it justice. Hope it goes to a good home, that's a fantastic looking case.

Can you still fall through the world randomly?

My n200 is still pluggin along. It's had some issues lately, think due to my storage filling up. Need to back up my important shit and clean house. Finally managed to break the screen -- must've dropped it a dozen times just on that corner without it breaking. The rear camera seems to be perma...

True, but AC is a funny beast, and it doesn't always go the way you expect it to. You might think it'll travel through the wire, when instead it decides ground is a better path. The wire provides a connection, but the inductance and capacitance and your mutual connection to ground becomes the...

That resistor wont do much for 120V AC. The kind that would fit in a wrist strap might be able to handle 1 watt of power, but an AC line (with no loads in series) is capable of multiple amps, over a kW of power. All the strap does is provide an easier path THROUGH YOU to ground. DO NOT wear a...

The real ones have a 1MOhm resistor so they release the charge slowly, at a much lower voltage. The fake/cheap ones might not (among other things, like having cheap wire or no connection at all). Touching your case is risky, there is no resistor in the path like in such a strap, so depending on...

The sugo cases are very nice, I don't think you'll be disappointed. Sure, they aren't very optimized like modern sff cases, but they are still nice cases. The main problem is (aside from the gpu) airflow is pretty restricted, and there isn't much place for drives. But the latter isn't important...

Funny, I only got that email on the 2nd. 🤷‍♂️
