  • They're the same thing, really.

  • This would seem quite risky to use on US roads. I mean probably elsewhere too, but at least they don't pack the same hardware.

  • The problem is that apart from a handful of geeks (a lot of which tend to gather on sites like this one), nobody is interested in computers. Which admittedly has consequences since computers are definitely interested in them. But then getting people interested in anything nowadays isn't very easy.

  • They also did that stuff with DR-DOS, they've been pulling dirty tricks with all their competition since the beginning with little or no consequences.

    And people whine because their laptops sometimes don't work with Linux when it's actually a fucking miracle that almost all machines currently work flawlessly despite all the hardware having been specifically designed to be hostile to anything that isn't Windows.

  • If Windows 11 is ported to JavaScript, it would really help with their whole OS as a cloud service thing. I'll enjoy watching that. From a distance.

  • It has surprised all of us.

  • Something they won't tell you is that you should start with short marathons. And work slowly to longer ones as you get better at it.

  • 1k should be enough for anybody!

    I used it for fairly simple little programs, generic puzzles from computer magazines, sometimes homework, nothing super exciting really.

  • Their Turks were actually Indians. They were deceiving their investors!

  • They're not really meant for desktop use, so not really an issue. Also don't keep your servers under your bed, the ventilation is quite bad.

  • Noooo! They'd lose value! (they'd go from 2 to 1.5 dollars)

  • Going to see witches vs saving your soul, it's a no brainer, really.

  • You could spot them from further away back then.

  • That's because they forgot to also replace the CEO. Beginner's mistake.

  • Seagate Exos is usually ok. Their generic stuff, is sometimes crap, but that's true of all manufacturers, really.

    That being said, I'd be nervous with a single huge drive, no matter where it's from. And even as part of a redundant structure, the rebuild times would be through the roof.

  • I know, back then people knew what files and directories were. Good times.

  • I discovered it today as well. I enabled it for now but I don't know if it's really a good idea.

  • All those wondrous IDEs were nowhere to be found 20 years ago, especially if you didn't run windows. While Emacs did it all and more.

    So yes, you had to read the documentation. That's what we did back then. We still do it when someone can be arsed to write one.
