    VooDoo3 2000 PCI. Yep, i didn't even have an AGP slot. Glide was just a great API in its day. Second to that, ATI Radeon 64M DDR VIVO

    Perpetual Free Steam Codes Thread

    Nice to see this thread still going. Just had a PM for one of the few remaining games from my old list. I really slowed down on the bundles, as wife / kids / life took front seat to games, but i do still love this [H]ard community and I'm glad to see others' loyalty to it as well.

    32" 16:9 monitor too big for Gaming?

    I love my 32" 1440p. Fit more on the screen while keeping a reasonable text size at native res. Gaming on it is much more immersive than the 22 or even 27 i had before it.

    Apollo computer

    I had a guy come in to my shop several months ago who worked on several of the early NASA missions. He had programmed a number of those early systems in machine code etc. Im a bit fuzzy on it all now. He also talked about how he had dumpster dove behind Apple's first store and had recovered some...

    Most Customers Would Stop Watching Netflix if it had Commercials

    I wonder this too. I read an article last week or so that claimed something like 60% of the internet traffic is fake. Click Farms and the like, in order to generate more revenue to the ad companies. So you have to wonder if these ads are actually bringing in any real business, or enough to...

    Most Customers Would Stop Watching Netflix if it had Commercials

    And not in Braille, or showing enough diversity, or showing a white person smiling while a black person is frowning. There's no end to it. I also would cancel my Netflix subscription if the ads start showing. That really IS the single biggest draw i have to Netflix. I DONT want to see...

    creating win 10 usb installation

    Use the media creation tool to download the iso. Then download Rufus and use that the make your usb install disk. In some cases. Antivirus actually blocks the media creation from completing. My GData's behaviour monitoring would block mine from finishing for some reason

    Future Windows 10 Builds Will Reserve Storage and Tabulate It

    I don't mind if Windows wants to create a permanent service area for updates. But hopefully they clean up the space after the update finishes. Last thing we need is it filling up the service area, then deciding "hey, i need more space. I'll just hide another 7gb chunk to use".

    Is gig worth it at home?

    man i am so jelly. my cost just went up to $109 up from $69 for 200/25 i believe + basic tv, since i am now out of the promotion period. That's how you reward customers who always pay their bills on time and don't cause problems.

    Is gig worth it at home?

    you do get 2 months out of 12 consecutive that you can go over without penalty, but yeah, you could potentially have a "fast car" and still only get to travel so many miles. those miles just burn up a lot faster.

    Is gig worth it at home?

    Question is, "is there a 1tb/mo data cap"? And is it 1g up and down, or their typical 35m on the upside. Personally, i have 200mbit at home comcast. It started out at 75 and they kept doing free upgrades. Unless you frequently do big downloads you probably won't see a difference

    Need Anti-Virus Recommendations

    I switched from Avira to GData a few years ago. It has bitdefender as one of its two engines. Out of the 800 or so endpoints i have deployed it on, none have gotten viruses or had problems of that nature. It catches a lot of stuff and actually does something useful about what it does catches.

    PFsense is killing me. SHould I go USG?

    I switched from pfsense at my office to untangle a few years ago. Pfsense is a great router distro, but once i tried untangle there was no looking back. Much easier to configure and just as solid. Adblocking is available. The openvpn support is there even in free version. You can try it out...

    Im banking on it automatically connecting to some nearby Xfinity wifi or other public hotspot, since the only account on it is my Microsoft Account and it won't be generally accessible.

    Bill Gates Regrets Control-Alt-Delete Key Command

    Do you not remember the keyboards with the Sleep Wake and Power buttons? Bump one of those and "$#!+" Worse was that, back then, sleep and wake took a fair bit of time to do their thing, and iirc were not very reliable.
