AFAIK you also have to work up to the driver positions. Off the street you work the sorting machines and shit.

This is also why the Arcade* version of the 360 flopped so hard.

* Back in the early-ish days of the 360 it didn’t have an HDMI port and it had memory card slots. They also sold one with an HDMI port called the 360 Elite and a cheaper one with no HDMI and no HDD (though one could be purchased separately and added later) designed to be used with memory cards exclusively called the 360 Arcade. The no HDMI boards were the ones most susceptible to the Red Ring of Death.

This is absolutely untrue. Most people can see the 60hz strobe of the US electrical grid. This is why cheap night lights seem to flash.

sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade -y

=

sudo dnf update -y

For most systems. If you can get apt you can get any of them.

The hyper loop was stolen from a European design from the 90s. It was even featured on an episode of Modern Marvels back then.

Intel used to make their own motherboards and I feel like I remember seeing Intel branded RAM back then. But that was ~25 years ago.

The number of times I have received an un-proofread two sentence email is too damn high.

I’m a bit confused by your argument. Home computers from Commodore, Coleco, Apple, and Atari all had controller ports and many were compatible with those that came with their console offerings. Coleco even had an Adam add-on for the ColecoVision. That doesn’t even begin to touch on what Sharp was up to in Japan or the MSX line.

Also, you are a bit off in your pricing, and forgetting that PlayStations didn’t include TVs in the box:

I think the part that people miss when they make this argument is that consoles have always been cut down PCs. The NES and the Apple II both used MOS 6502 processors for instance. The main difference is how improved hardware capabilities have lended to software generalization across hardware platforms, which hasn’t been unique to the console market.

How have these things not encountered out-of-service stop lights before? This seems like the kind of thing you test before you let them around people.

Newegg is still a thing, you just need to check the “Sold by Newegg” filter.

I keep my storage hard drive assigned to B so the optical drive is still D.

Caldera had a GUI installer in 1998…

My guess is the cameras use it to make sure the color plates are aligned properly. A lot of packaging printing still uses a 4 step printing with one plate for each color in CMYK.

lol, in this case ‘update’ would require physically replacing the ROM chip on the motherboard. Sometimes they were nice enough to make it a socketed chip.

I have a 486 with a mouse driven BIOS…

Edit: Here is a screenshot I found online that looks like the one I have (note the 1994 copyright at the top):

C is primarily used in embedded programming these days. For instance the RPi Pico has a C/C++ SDK. I would start there.

I agree that it shouldn’t be allowed. But for what it’s worth, a lot of non-profits that have a product do this. Mozilla for instance.

As always every person’s workflow will be their own. I’m honestly not sure what you are arguing.

While that is an important distinction. It still needs to be said that Krita is a drawing program like Inkscape and Illustrator not a photo editing program like GIMP or Photoshop.
