   I had something similar! 300Mhz PII - it came in a black cartridge thing. NVidia RIVA TNT which used the AGP bus on the Intel LX440 mobo. A whopping 128Mb of RAM and 8Gb HDD. I recall using a program called WinSplit to split the Nvidia driv

   Woah, I would have loved a A1200 version back in 1993. I loved this game, and remember having to swap several discs to play it before I eventually bought a HDD (a whopping 545Mb beast). It was only recently that I saw the DOS intro on YouTu

   I believe it's because in JavaScript some values or expressions are "truthy" or "falsey" depending on how they are evaluated.

   I wish more people would understand this. I was borna Muslim but I consider myself a "cultural Muslim" and do not look into it any further. It does not stop me volunteering at my local mosque food bank etc. The social interaction

   I have a similar relationship to MiniDisc. I will never sell my collection and I still use it now and again when the urge strikes me. I remember in the mid-1990s a friends brother was a big film buff, he showed us RoboCop on LaserDisc - the

   No it's on a mountain ridge on Pico Yeje, the trail begins from the Mirador de cruz Hilda nearby. I went there twice to find it, looking for something on a vertical rock. I found out later that it's actually carved into some rock

   This is topical for me since I came back from a two week vacation from Tenerife. While there I tried to find Masca's Solar Station, an artifact created by the indigenous people of the island. They say it was probably to ask the sun god

    I have a small MiniDisc collection which I will never sell. Call it nostalgia but I really liked the process of creating a compilation using those limited 74 minutes (or 120 using SP2). In recent years I've created my own disk labels f

    Yes, I fast for Ramadan and about a week beforehand switch to decaf for all my hot beverages. When I didn't the headaches were terrible in the first few days of fasting.

    Well put and agreed 100%. Source: parent of 18 year old. Do not over-think it. Just be careful to pick a partner who shares the same values and then get on with it.

    I've been using DuckDuckGo for more than a year now. It's OK, I did it because I do not like how powerful Google has become.

    I wanted one for this purpose to replace a Dell Optiplex SFF running Kodi. It's dual-core CPU and cannot decode x265 efficiently. The NUCs are a bit too expensive though and plenty of x264 content still available.

    The Cisco Packet Tracer software is also good for this, as is Wireshark.

    I started Zelda: BotW a couple of years back but the open world nature and sheer number of side quests make me think it will take another few years before I finish the main quest. I find there is little to draw me back except the joy of exp

    November 2020 I ordered a Swytch e-bike kit and fitted it to my bike. It replaced the car for many things (weekly grocery shops, city centre trips). I moved to London last year and this turned out to be a fortune timing. My car, a Honda Civ

    This. My Mum uses an Android 10 device. No security updates since 2021. But the apps still work and get updated and that for her and most people is enough. It's not ideal and as she is not tech-literate, the day might come where she cl

    I've rented bikes very easily as a UK tourist. All you need is cash in Euros or a credit card. Disagree about parking, at least what I've seen in Amsterdam city area. You have to use an app and pay for parking. There are patrol ca

    Sounds like the blog author wrote an emotional response to that Uber journey. Not everyone from that background has such backward views, most are moderate, some are progressive.

    I was about to mention this. Easy to read with actionable tips. A habit tracker helps (I drop plastic jewels in a coffee mug with a satisfying clunk). You can sign-up up to a free 30-day e-mail newsletter course from the author if not ready
