Total blast from the past. I remember I bought my Voodoo 1. It was the Diamond 3DFX card. I bought it in 1995 and it was amazing. GL was so optimized. For gl quake. Back then Windows, Direct 3D was just slow. But then later Nvidia started to come out with more capable gpus such as TNT and they eventually took over the gaming market.

Your comment resonates with me due to the cognitive dissonance of seeing the benefits and issues with AI as far as development work. I have been struggling to identify a process improvement that AI can improve not only the development aspect by the overall productivity of our company. We are a dev shop mostly C++ and python. At our company I see the development workflow and it is very inefficient. The biggest issue is communication. AI can certainty increase the coding output and velocity, but the rest of the process relies on humans.

The benefit of Ventoy is that you can continue to use the same USB drive for storage, in addition to have the ability to boot from any number of .iso files on the drive. Extremely useful

I had my fully updated PS5 powered off for about a month. I could not login because it needed a new firmware update. But I could not connect to Ethernet for some reason. Swiched to wifi, downloaded the update but I failed to install. Required a few reboots. Now this is not a typical experience but it is far from the Sega genesis and Nintendo SNES cartridge games that worked flawless

When I was at the office, there were always two or three people who stopped by my desk every day, and just wanted to talk about some BS thing. Now with work from home I never hear from them. Because they realize that this was non-work related and if they send me an email or chat, that is going to be on the record

How did he manage installing applications such as banking apps from the place store? Unless you’re going to be sideloading the app how do you know that you’re getting official banking app and not just downloading some file online.

Check your power supply. I just replaced a power supply on a pc I built in 2012. The system was unstable and shutting down after five minutes of being on

My Pentium 60 I bought in 1995 for $2200 came with 4 mb of RAM. I later upgraded it to 8 mb. 540 MB hard drive, 2x CD ROM drive. It ran just about everything I had until I built my next computer in ‘98

This will drive people to more apps that block ads on mobile

They do, with Server 2019 for corporate servers. But your point is that no one is running Server 201x as their desktop OS, unlike the NT 4 .1 days, which then was rebranded into windows 2000, or NT 5

Can they help me recover my bitlocker password for a usb drive?

I do not and will never trust either company. If I had to choose a top tech company, I would probably pick Apple, although they do have an ad network and have a lot information about you if you are in their ecosystem. Also stay away from Facebook and Amazon based on privacy. If you really want to go with 100% privacy, you could say goodbye to you all these companies and forget about the convenience and using all their services. For me, I’m trying to stay the hell away from Google. I found it really difficult to get away from Gmail, google voice and Waze.
