If you can't remember that the "silly" project has a "silly rule" in place, and you won't remember any time you look at "git log" results, then I really don't know what to tell you.

That's really it-- it's a waste of resources, but it's such a tiny amount that all these effects are almost free. There's no point in not having a little fluff that makes the experience a bit more fun.

No problems here with Firefox on Windows 11.

You normally would, but this is just predation on through traffic. It's not like you're going through the middle of main street, these may be off to the side of town with several exits but close enough for the city to dictate spee

RemoteAccess used that as the default Sysop page tune. It could be replaced, though.

As someone who ran a BBS for an extended period of time, DESQview (and obviously QEMM) was an essential part of daily life. It allowed for a lot of things that you'd take for granted today-- like logging into an additional local-only n

The former is definitely true. There are towns out there in the United States that are on an interstate and play games with their speed limits. You'll see a speed limit of 60-70 up until you hit city limits then it suddenly drops to 30

Expect to have someone reach out to you soonish, though, so we can be absolutely sure of what happened and correct any mistakes on our part that may exist.

As far as I know, anything that they couldn't find an author on was eventually rewritten from scratch. That's the only time a name would be removed from a driver-- a complete redo.

MAMEdev hit this problem a few years back as well. Thankfully, the end result of code that needed to be ripped out and rewritten ended up being pretty small comparative to the whole project. A lot of that came down to there being no corpora

This. PC speaker was driven far beyond its original design and intention. Sound Blasters, and later built-in clones/compatibles, changed the general outlook of sound. You'll see a shift to Adlib/SB audio start around 1987-198

Perhaps the future will bring electromagnetic clamps like the Arsenal Birds seem to have in Ace Combat 7. https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/acecombat/images/4/4e/AC7_...

Yep. ROB was the gimmick that allowed Nintendo to say to retailers "It's not a video game!" and convince them to stock Nintendo's products. You really can't overestimate the difficulty Nintendo faced in getting ANYO

I'd like to have seen the world where this actually came out. I think more than a few of the MS-DOS users of that era might've migrated to that. It probably could have convinced my father and I to switch, if implemented sufficient

Not strictly correct. It's provided by whatever WSL distro you download, and that download comes from the distro as opposed to Microsoft.

No speed limiting on >60FPS displays is a bit of a problem, but neat project!

Absolutely this. The firmware contains copyrighted data and that data is also critical to the functioning of the Switch, both emulated and real. Modern handhelds are not like the older ones, there's actually an OS involved and a lot of

Whereas I just left Debian-based distros because I'm hitting that exact problem with backported patches not arriving in any reasonable length of time in many packages. There seems to be a real manpower problem over at Debian in terms o

That certainly puts an interesting spin on the one time I had to ride the back of a bus from west coast to east coast. It was three days and I was physically and mentally exhausted at the end despite sleeping for a fair chunk of it. Edit to

I'd moved to VSCode because even on higher end hardware I could feel a substantial improvement compared to Atom. If you don't like the MS integrations, there's VSCodium.

I wouldn't recommend VR for anyone under 12-13 or so. Eyes are still developing at that age and there's a possible chance of screwing up focus with extended VR use.

This has been my experience as well. Google, Bing, DDG, they all fail to work well in some major form or another. Google and Bing don't let you do explicit search demands with quotes; all the power tricks for search are gone and I rout

And of course the PC demoscene legends Future Crew did Epic Pinball in 1993, so there's definitely some kind of fixation on pinball by demosceners! Not that that's a bad thing by any means.

They tried that. We're all suffering because a large chunk of the user base refused to be responsible on patches. Of course, now Microsoft has made it even worse by having routinely broken patches since they no longer do proper in-hous

I would assume that with the rate the human body replaces blood they'd end up getting removed over time.

Yep. IE took off not just because of Microsoft's position as the default browser, but because Netscape totally sucked on Windows. I'd switched to IE2 because the Netscape build my ISP offered was horrible and constantly crashed.

They're pushing very hard to have the actual standard manufacturer drivers available via Windows Update, and shipping the control panel as an optional download via the Windows Store. I had to do a Windows 10 reinstall recently after I
