The easy way to remove the malware is to install Linux.

They only tested frame rates. There was no real difference between PCIe versions and most games ran nearly as well from SATA SSDs.

It would have been nice if they tested load times.

There are plenty of IRC clients that don’t use electron.

Hopefully the solar panels are being used for something useful now like charging some homeless person’s phone.

The modern version is called Li-Fi. It’s capable of multi gigabit speeds. There doesn’t seem to be much that actually uses it though.

Yes, by using selecting format disk in the Linux installer.

You just need a video capture card or dongle for your computer. Preferably one with an S-video input. If these are pre recorded tapes, you will also need a Macrovision remover connected between the VCR and capture card. If you want the quality to be as good as possible, you will need a timebase corrector. Those are hard to find and expensive though. The TBC will also remove the Macrovision.

There were lots of affordable phones before the AI companies bought up all of the RAM and flash.

Many routers support more than one SSID per radio.

HDMI supports ethernet, but very few devices actually implement it. Even if the monitor and GPU support it, there would be no internet connection unless the PC bridges it to your LAN.

DisplayPort does not carry ethernet.

You didn’t need anything that fancy. You could build a Macrovision remover circuit. The schematics were certainly harder to find before the web, but you could build one up in an afternoon with parts from RadioShack.

I’ve got 12 years and 5 months on a Western Digital WD20EARX HDD. It’s starting to get some bad sectors.

I’ve got a similar runtime on a SAMSUNG SpinPoint F2 and it still seems to be healthy. There’s nothing important on either of them, I just want to see how long they will last.

It was down yesterday. I haven’t had any issues today apart from their usual poor coverage.

If they really cared about privacy, they wouldn’t include a camera.

Public torrents don’t require trackers. Bittorrent can use DHT to operate completely decentralized.

These are big drones that carry 100 pounds of fire retardant. It will be interesting to see how well they work.

A UPS can keep the modem and phone running for a couple of hours. If you have satellite internet, it will work for as long as you can power it. Cable or DSL will go out when the battery dies in the ISP’s equipment.

Landlines have gotten a lot less reliable in a lot of areas because the phone companies don’t want to maintain them. Mine would go out as soon as the power did when I cancelled it.

For 16 bit windows games, DOSBox may work even better since it emulates vintage hardware. You just have to install windows 3.11 inside DOSBox.

The watchable ones are recorded from the projection booth and have an audio cable connected to the camera.

You need a real camera if you want real pictures. The optical zoom on a phone camera is only a couple times magnification.
