So a bit of downtime while spare parts are installed, or older tech put back in use... A major disruption, maybe, but not the end of the world.

Well, unless your car burns out too, you'll have at least 12V to work with.

I should buy one for my own but turns out you can put detergent between washing cycles, as long as you don't connect the dishwasher to a water line (well, I didn't check the other way around to be fair) So I'm still weighting

Generic Processing Unit, it seems.

The problem is less booting the OS once installed, but finding an iso I don't have to mess with too much to install it. Most of them assume 64 bits CPU means 64 bits UEFI...

Interesting... I'll check if it can emulate 64 bits UEFI on a 32 bits one (yet 64 bits cpu): Finding anything to boot on my old tablet PC is becoming a pain.

As someone who see fairly well in the dark: I too often find myself nearly unable to see what's in front of me because of the car behind. It also makes judging the distance and speed of a passing vehicle a literal pain.

I tried my old retromini (RS90, I think) with (the surprisingly still updated) retroarch, but the core seem to crash when loading content. And I don't want to figure out how to compile the stand-alone emulator (retro8) for it.

So less of a VM name and more of a chainsaw brand?

The models are correct: We're just living in the wrong universe.

I still had an USB 1.0 motherboard laying around not too long ago...

In terms of printers simple enough to be made yourself, there"s always the BT100... But it was made to be cheap, not good.

It's not like you can easily update the OS in a smartphone, to begin with...

Well, I did spend a few days finding a modern version of Linux that can run on a Mac mini PPC... Its OS X was outdated so I installed Yellowdog on it, then Debian and now that Debian don't support 32 bits G4 anymore all I found was Voi

Welp... Good thing Wine and Proton keep getting better... Because unless Microsoft pay for my computer, I won't allow them to act as if they own it.

They wanted to look like a dynamic and innovative company so they released a new theme and gave it a brand new version number? That or windows 10 still leave too much control of the machine to the user in their eyes... I think I'll wat

You have more fine control over the heat with gas, but the timer in my cheap induction plate did save my bacon a few times...

The "Good news, IE is now Edge" one was nice in the way it considered I wasn't doing anything of value when it appeared and I had nothing better to do than watch the sales pitch. A real nice red flag.

We do get 3D printed parts from time to time at work: They usually need to have brass inserts put in them, which mean milling the printed holes to size too. Since the part is fairly complex, milling the part wouldn't be that much of a

Or in the industrial sector: Milling machines running Windows 95/98 (fun times getting it to talk with windows 10 on the network) or working with floppies are still around: Those beasts are too expensive to not run until dead.

They should try a 2CV for a short while, then their small car would be just fine... (Fun car but the lack of power can get you in dangerous situations, like when people don't expect you slowing down severely going uphill. Noisy too.)
