Not GP but I have had the same experience. I exclusively use 86Box for anything older than XP these days and it works fantastic. The ability to swap in whatever hardware you want is so much fun.

I agree. I've gone down the "make Linux look like Windows 95" path a couple times and while it's a fun yak shave, it's tough to get all the little changes and details right on one system, let alone your friend'

I use a combination of 1.1.1.1, 9.9.9.11, and OpenDNS over DNSSEC via Pihole. Not sure if it's a "good" strategy, though.

Indeed. The author continues: > Maybe its reports could have been embedded in other analytics data passed to Apple later, but there was absolutely no evidence that the results of liquiddetectiond went beyond the confines of my Mac. I fee

Thanks for the write up. I've been writing assembly lately, so as soon as I read your comment, I thought "hmm reminds me of section .text and section .data".

Agree. It's a terrible time to want a new Nvidia card for gaming or AI projects. I had a 4070 Ti Super in my cart for a while at a cool $700 on Amazon - now it's out of stock and secondhand I can find it for double that now. If on

I'm in agreement, but one thought that crossed my mind is how the population in China self-censors and I wonder if this is kind of like that. Rather than tailor the terminology to different environments, the person just chooses the &qu

I only have one Alexa and it won't bother me to remove it or replace it with another HomePod. I only use it to check the weather and occasionally to listen to random facts while I get ready in the morning. The fact that it has a digita

Definitely possible, but probably not easily. The "easiest" remastering I've seen simply upscales textures to 2K or 4K which provides an inexpensive way to resharpen old games without losing too much of their original look. F

Doesn't directly answer your question as I don't have a modern AMD card to test with, but even with an RTX 5080 Super + 9800X3D, I was still only getting about ~45-55 FPS at 4K60. I left the default settings of High and DLSS enabl

I just played it a bit - IMO it's plenty dark. I used Alt + X to get into settings and decrease the brightness from 50 to 40, but even without that it felt dark, dark enough that I couldn't see anything down an unilluminated hallw

Agree! I've found everything in the OpenBSD base system to be easy to configure and well documented. The most difficult part might be acquiring a proper dial-up connection depending where one lives :P

Ryan Holiday is a good guy. I've followed his content for a while. Yes, he is marketing essentially "free" philosophy, but he does a good job adapting it to modern life.

If you're underclass and beat up on by society above you, stoicism is a very rational philosophy to adopt. If you're upper crust and controlling everyone beneath you, I think it's still worthwhile to consider stoicism. Or is

I'd love to run an OpenBSD trunk or similar setup for this. I wouldn't even mind dial-up if it meant I could still get emails and app messages across.

I thought it was funny he spelled it out, D-O-S. Wasn't it more common to say "DOS" back then too? Maybe it was because it was an address.

One could also try out the new shell, literally codenamed "NewShell" 2 months ahead of Chicago/95's release in July 1995 with an update to NT 3.51. I've been meaning to try it out on my 486 rig. https://e
