If you mean the Nintendo solution I think the [system] Mini trend has finally died out for good outside of a handfull of pathetic outliers like Amiga 500 mini. At any rate Nintendo seems to prefer to release these things on their existing c

At the core it's a matter of convenience. When there's only one service to pay for or even two or three most people don't have a problem with paying a fee to have access to everything they want to watch. But when there's

Hex is not a book but rather a recurring device in the Discworld series, mostly in later books centered on wizards - basically a technomagical computer analogue that is powered apparently by ants rather than electrons. Not sure how much did

Having used win98 back on a Pentium 200 I was flabbergasted by how sluggish and prone to delay it was. Coming from AmigaOS there were jarring delays everywhere, even for something as simple as opening the Start Menu. God forbid I set an jpg

Because institutions are not individuals. They do not possess a conscience, morality, or any other humane emotion that makes leniency possible and produce favourable outcomes.

My current workplace is one such case of union killing a theoretically profitable company so I really am speaking from experience - the only reason the workplace still exists today is because after it went bankrupt it was bought out by an o

Speaking from practice in a country where unions are a traditional thing, strong unions can and will screw over a workplace. It's usually about a show of power and abusing veto ability to stay in power until the place stagnates, loses

It's just as good as the witcher and exhibits precisely the same strengths and flaws, just in a different setting. Especially with regards to the day one state of the game and patching not really doing all that much in the first year

The "equivalent amount" of H2O2 is actually a really pathetic amount (0,01%) and potency is not linear with concentration. Actual concentration of H2O2 that's used for these purposes is only 60 times higher (0,6%) and achie

That's entirely not the point of college. College isn't supposed to give you job skills. There are other educational avenues far superior for that purpose. College is supposed to install you with broad and reasonably thorough kn

Can't blame them, even systems from US based companies often sold in UK/Europe better than they sold in the US without any involvement from Microsoft (I'm talking, of course, about the Commodore Amiga).

Interesting - I should really try to find the specifics on how AmigaOS stored its data. I'm guessing it's not MFM as the optional driver slash virtual device for reading IBM floppies required an MFM driver (thus implying MFM is no

Running Doom on anything and in any form imaginable really is an artform but in this case I can't help but be reminded of the recent "Brainfuck as a Service" post ( https://zserge.com/posts/bfaas/ )

Quoting a character in one of Stanisław Lem's stories, "People do not really want to live forever -- they simply do not want to die." Always struck me as a rather profound take on the whole immortality deal.

I feel the distinction is critical in this case - GP implies it's a matter of a quality that you have ("you are the enemy of communism"), while in reality any qualities you had were irrelevant - it only mattered what someone

That's not how that worked. "If the communism didn't consider you an enemy" is more apt and an average Hungarian had no way of telling how anything they say could be interpreted.

Too bad the author (perhaps strategically) dodged the two seminal for their era microcomputer braches, the 16-bit Ataris and the Amigas. I once read that properly written Amiga software achieved around 16ms latency and would like to see tha

Exhaustive or not, it is very wrong on quite a number of topics it claims to cover. For example Chun-Li being a first fully playable female video game character? No matter how you try to frame it is either wrong or extremely wrong.

This is positively fantastic, thank you for showing this. While I'm not big on the 1.X color scheme and UI, it should be easy to go from this to 2.X style.

Does it get that bad? I had various issues with UE1 applications but most of the time just adding a modern OGL/DX9/10/11 renderer library solves everything.
