I enjoyed DRDOS. I didn’t have much to do with it as a hobbyist, but definitely enjoyed trying it out. I wasn’t old enough to use it back in the day.

But have been away from M$ for 4-5 years now. The Linux train is the best train.

Yeah agreed, that little amber display is awesome

I don’t have direct experience with what you’re trying to do with CTTY, but I do have a CF-to-IDE on a 5160. It’s been a while since I used it, but it was a game changer because I could get exact versions of things I needed more easily. Iirc I ended up with MS-DOS 5 as a sweet spot between features and performance, and I also tried things like DR-DOS.

I’m not understanding the logic here. Apple killed their last tower. That isn’t surprising, and their user base is perfectly happy buying nothing but SOCs.

Then there is a still-expanding PC gaming market, where building the machine from discrete parts is a portion of the hobby. By and large, this has never really overlapped with Apple’s user base.

The article does a poor job saying why we should expect non-Apple machines to go the same direction.

On Tuesday, the jury deliberated for only one day before agreeing that Meta should pay $375 million in civil damages for violating state consumer protections and misleading parents about the safety of its apps.

Not enough. These corporations operate on different math. They pay no taxes. They swim in currency. Pick the biggest realistic number you can imagine and then multiply it by the next biggest. Anything less will be factored out as the cost of business.

Case in point: $375 million is a mere fraction of what Meta spends in a bunch of different areas. Compared to profits, it’s practically rounding error. It won’t affect much.

How about we remove the dangers to children who are in congress or other parts of the government, before we use it as a scapegoat to take away privacy rights?

Time for a new supervisor.

Who owns the corporations? WHOSE INTERESTS ARE THEY?

No one owns corporations. This is a key fact.

Keep studying. You’ll eventually get there.

WWIII will be caused by hoarding of energy. Green solutions are fantastic, but they have been kicked down the road for too long.

2026: “My LLM is female and conscious.”

2016: “My body pillow is female and prefers to be called Waifuchan”

It’s like $120 billion right? 350 million folks in America, so if my math is right I should get… $300-something bucks!

Maybe I’ll invest it in some new food.

This. AI is not and will not be profitable. It’s afloat because of an investor circlejerk. Once they get off then it’s over. A waiting game.

I always plug it during threeways.

A new Star Trek game and a new Battlestar Galactica game!!! At around the same time!!!

My geek is tingling

A bigger issue is that the Steam Deck touchpads don’t work without Steam being open

This is interesting, because the touchpads on the Steam Controller do work without Steam being open, at least on Linux, though without cursor acceleration. I wonder why the touchpads on the Deck were handled differently.

Not true about Proton. It’s Steam DRM that requires Steam running in the bg, same as on Windows.
