I got a tp-link tc-7610 back in late 2018, still works great. The rep at Cox didn't believe I had something that would work that wasn't theirs until they looked it up in their system. I think they just thought it'd be too slow, though, not that it was incompatible. That said, yeah, no way I'm...

Akasa makes a white viper fan, it's pretty good too. Max Airflow 83.63 CFM Max Static Pressure 2.98 mm-H2O Sound Level 6.9 - 28.9 dB(A) https://akasa.co.uk/update.php?tpl=product/product.detail.tpl&type=FANS&type_sub=Standard%20Case%20Fans&model=AK-FN065-WH

They would make 100% oj free just a month after I purchased it. >_< Though it is a fun game, so I don't really regret it.

$26 for 4ft x 8ft (32 sqft) BCX Sanded pine So you could make 2 x ~2.5ft cubes out of pine for $26, or $13 each. Of course you could stretch the pine a bit by making a wider rectangular box. That said, lowes materials (whose prices I quoted) are very much meh at best, and maybe the prices...

Wouldn't this have been less expensive to make out of 1/4" plywood? I mean it's cool, but seems a bit much for something so simple. Otoh, there's no kill like overkill. ;)

They're two different markets, imo. While they carry many similarities, a person who owns a switch may also own a steam deck, because you cannot play Mario Party on the deck ("above board"). That said, Valve doesn't need the deck to do very well, because they make a lot of money on the games...

The insane part is the screen wasn't even damaged -- it was fully functional! They wanted to replace the screen because the PLASTICS were damaged (from a screwdriver/spudger, looks like), and they refused warranty on EVERYTHING because that damage was caused by the customer. It's absurd on...

Yeah, I struggled a bit last I tried messing with those. Once they're lined up right, it's just a matter of rocking them a bit until they pop on. But lining them up is a bitch.

Well, there's dosbox, if it's old enough and doesn't crash.

AMD does quite well on midrange laptops, with a decent graphics solution, good cpu performance, and reasonable power envelope. They aren't so great in ultra low power, and you could go either way in the gaming laptop space. I'd say they're in a pretty good spot right now, and there are more...

Capacitors popping? Yikes!

"Classic" Marathon is available for free on steam, Marathon Infinity and Marathon 2 coming soon. https://store.steampowered.com/app/2398450/Classic_Marathon/

Looks like it is supposed to work on windows, supposedly announced with some ReLive driver update but I haven't found it. You may need to change some settings to get it working, maybe add the game to the xbox thing or look in amd's driver settings for that game.

I wouldn't be surprised, makes more sense to have a very specialized and highly integrated OS, test suite, and hardware imo. That way any bugs can be found easily and fixed before there is a problem. Not to say it has to be unique to the power plant, but something built for that purpose and...

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Variable_refresh_rate Some of this may be outdated or not apply to your distro, but it should be generally informative. I didn't see anything about windowed apps, only that you should disable the compositor if you are in an X11 environment (not necessary on...
