HN is just flooded with AI BS these days.

I used to run Debian Hamm on a 040. Worked a treat.

Looks neat. Be good to get AMD/Intel support of course.
2K 100% was the best Windows. The NT benefits with none of the XP downsides.
I'm not going to go into it but you can look up most of the information about this dating back 25 years. As someone who was around at the time in that community, and was in certain locations of interest at the time, its best to avoid and use the public projects like AROS etc.
I'd avoid MorphOS given its legal 'greyarea'.

They add additional markup to storage and memory upgrades because they know you don't have a choice.

Lets hope this isn't like the M1 version which has been dropping like flies.

This went exactly as expected. ARM had no leg to stand on going in.
Re:Raspberry Pi 500 and Raspberry Pi Monitor on sale now on Monday December 09, 2024 @04:21AM (#42364389)
It has PoE and M2.... but neither are populated. Very disappointing considering the increased cost.
High failure rate on those displays, calling it now.
Re:Intel sells stake in chip designer Arm Holdings on Wednesday August 14, 2024 @12:12AM (#41242473)
This isnt to surprising. They need money to continue their transition to their new Royal CPU baseline and frankly everyone and their dog is now in the ARM market, if they want to see growth its time to move onto something else.

Re:Why aren't motherboards mostly USB-C by now? (2021) on Sunday November 19, 2023 @02:52AM (#38330231)
USB-A has a straight forward top and bottom. Once you know this, you almost never connect it wrong.

Wait, it failed? Since when...?
Still blows my mind people still use gzip. 20 years ago I was expecting by this point in time for there to be lots of effort put into increasing compression and working towards getting that fast, instead its been a push for speed. It makes sense with how the internet has changed. These days gzip isn't even in the top 100 as far as compression goes, hell even something like RAR or 7zip are far back compared to the best.

Take something like enwik8 (100megs), gzip will get that down to 36megs, with LZMA down to ~24-25. The top of the line stuff will get it down to the ~15meg range. Thats a huge difference.

Damn, I was hoping for a MacOS version of SysInternals.

I love how the 3.x Workbench still feels so close to a modern OS.

Laughs in DirectoryOPUS.
The conspiracy nut vibes in that story (And frankly whole website) are off the chart.
