Man I used one of those forever, I think I finally threw it out once 100Mb switch and G wifi wasn't quite enough. Tomato was probably my favorite firmware for it. I remember bricking it with a bad update one time and having to jumper t

Nice. I mostly use DOSBox for my DOS games and ones that work with Windows 3.1(Civ 2, Sim City 2000, and Solitaire mostly), but it'll be nice to be able to do Window 9x stuff with 3D acceleration without having to break out the old Pen

Hopefully the password is better that it used to be on Panasas devices(HPC storage appliances essentially). Back when I worked in HPC, I had a Panasas fail hard and it required one of their techs to login with the super special root passwor

I get why people are mad that something that exists is changing, though at this point I've stopped being surprised when something that was free either stops being free or has the free offering diminished. This particularly was a very w

The cards have a very first gen Ryzen feel. There's nothing they just clearly do better than the competition(except having more memory, which is kind of indirectly is analogous with Ryzen generally having more cores than the Intel chip

Yeah, I was excited to try to daily drive a Pinephone expecting it to be "a bit buggier" that a regular phone, but it's still a long way to go once I got it.

The Mac Mini and MacBook Pro have fans where the MacBook Air is fanless, so I assume there are some differences in at least boost clock and probably core clock too. I wouldn't be surprised if we see higher core count M1X chips next for

It may be a minor quibble, but but the irrelevant "From McDonald's" is pretty tiring clickbait. Many of us that now work in the tech industry, whether black, white, etc, have worked these shitty food service and retail jobs,

I use my Kindle Paperwhite completely offline. I factory reset it and haven't connected it to WiFi since and just side load what I need(I did have to strip the DRM from my Kindle books to side load them on the unregistered device). I n

Nice, I had thought about an HDMI capture device but plugged it in, played with it for about 5 minutes trying to tune out the latency(I'm not exactly and ffmpeg pro) and didn't make much head way. I was also using either a pi 2 or

I used Kroger's clicklist when it first started, and it was find but got worse. It wouldn't have been so bad if I got the occasional piece of produce or meat I would normally give a pass too, but as time when on, it started to se

My biggest take away here is that old MS-DOS has been made free software. I had a Compaq Portable that I’m restoring, and I gave half a though to combining my love of retro hardware with free software and running FreeDOS even if it is a bit

I used to have a big fascination with small form factor and power efficient PCs. Other than having Mac mini for a while, I didn't actually implement to much on homebuilt PC side, mostly due to cost. I've had a fairly small mATX ca
