The cartridges are hardware, the game within is software. Although yes, sometimes. I mean some cartridges like Super FX (Starfox) or SA1 (Super Mario RPG) SNES cartridges include specific hardware accelerators.

In the UK, we were reminded to clean the inside of the windscreen to remove the telltale suction cup marks, so thieves wouldn't assume there was likely a satnav hidden in the glovebox or boot. (Windscreen = Windshield, Boot = Trunk)

Rufus is vastly more reliable, flexible, and orders of magnitude faster. So long as you enable updates (to enable online functionality), the "SELECT" button has a dropdown to change it to "DOWNLOAD". Click "DOWNLOAD

I wouldn't say "far better". It's different. Rufus is superb for specific tasks. I especially like the interface, including the automatic download of the current Windows 10 ISO. I find the whole process (and more importa

Not sure if it's the specific thing you're thinking of, but AMD EPYC chips can be vendor locked and Dell EMC does this. They blow eFuses in the CPU so they'll only work with Dell motherboards with the correct code signature.

And millions of PC gamers screamed in unison... Does anyone have faith that Microsoft wouldn't destroy Discord in a matter of years if they took it over? Still, Xbox gamers should be happy.

I had a ridiculously high failure rate with the Vertex 2. I also still an OCZ drive of that era somewhere, which would work... But if you didn't use it for a while, it would be completely blank when you next used it.

Presumably you may have seen CP and just not been aware of it. Once you reach a certain point, you can't reliably tell someone's age by looking, even when you can literally see every part of them. As illustrated in porn by the fam

To further what neetrain said, there is also some cool unexpected stuff to come out of it as a result. The Dreamcast had a ROM-based arcade equivalent, the Atomiswave. A dreamcast-talk forum member, "megavolt85", has started to co

This whole human malware business meant getting decent webcams and Camlinks (HDMI capture devices) extremely difficult and/or expensive for a while. Logitech C920 were particularly difficult and expensive to get, which long lead times.
