I had the same issue! (but was Sim City 2000 on floppy disks). And I had a OAK SVGA card ... an OAK OTI 87 or 84, if I remember correctly. Also, I remember that with some tools that come on a floppy disk with the card, I could output a 1024

I was always asking what happened with the magnetic mirror experiments about fusion. I only know about, what was in a book that I read when I was young. I think that was the "The fusion quest"

Why do you need batteries on trains ? Just electrify the railway. It's a solved problem like a century ago! PD: Yes, you could use a not electrified railway, but simply makes more sense to electrificate all railways

> they could produce enough neutrinos to be dangerous I find hard to believe that we can produce more neutrinos that the sun produces.

for me it's a problem of the tool converting in place EXT to BTRFS. Not necessarily a problem of BTRFS.

high frequency alternate current is the safest, in the sense that the skin effect enters in effect, and the current doesn't touch your muscles (or at least your hearth). However, the danger of burns persists.

JPEG XL can be converted to/from JPEG without any loss of quality. See another commenter where shows a example where doing JPEG -> JPEG XL -> JPEG generates a binary exact copy of the original JPEG. Yeah, this not means what usua

Try Kubuntu. It's far better than Windows. I can't say anything compared against OSX, as I don't touch it.

My own experience with an AMD GPU and gaming on Linux, has been awesome for the last few years. I don't touch Windows to play any game, except Fornite

Also, in Linux you can update and keep doing stuff. Even a full distribution version update! I remember playing Stellaris at the same time that Kubuntu was being updated to the 22.04 LTS version.

The fact is that Windows 8.1 was far better that the shit hole that Windows 10/11 has become. Windows 7 was the last great Windows. Windows 8.1 was the last decent/good Windows.

I find disturbing that don't mentions kdiff3 with diff and merge tool. Specially when kdiff3 does the smae thing that diff3 and zdiff3 output formats... I don't understand the popularity of meld. I always felt that meld it's

NTFS and Windows filesystem IO does poorly with many small files. it's one of the reasons that git for windows (and Linux subsystem version 1) is inevitably slow.

what I usually did, was using data-xxx attributes (and document these attributes and how works) to inject special functionality to html elements. I did this with jQuery, and now I do with vainilla JavaScript.

There is an actual Doom clone game that runs in a A1200 and has equal or better graphics than the original Doom. And, I say game. Not a demo.

I agree that the client/server approach was the wrong way at the end. but saying that Unix GUI was far behind others, it's a too far bridge. The first time that I saw composite desktops using the GPU was on Linux. And current KDE&
