Re: What modern activity did you get up to today?

Yup, I don't like to "push" resolution on limited hardware either. There has been a dearth of smaller/simpler/cheaper TVs on the market for a while now. Reminds me of a period I can't date exactly, mid to late 90s probably, but it was when 14" color portables dropped below about $200, and $70 mono …

Bought and connected one of the last still existing HD 768p 32" cheap simple TV that I'm using as PC HDMI monitor with the Raspberry Pi 5. While resolution may seems bad, it'll be faster than a 108op or 4K panel for the GUI. I even like the large pixels look of the panel when set at native …

Today I left work earlier and went back home testing my best netbook the Asus eeepc 1005PE I found again for a good expensive price. I installed Lubuntu o.s. into it with an impressive 6.8.x kernel which still support its iGPU. The netbook runs an Atom N450 1.66Ghz single CPU with HT, 2GB DDR2 RAMs …

Sometimes I've got so many problems I don't have the right free mind to focus on this hobby and I've barely the time to do something else before going back home from work so much tired I'd directly go to sleep. I hope things will get better sooner or later.

I also don't use translator while English is not clearly my first language but I usually do my best to write as fast as I can even with some errors that I usually find later reading my own messages a second time later. :) But this forum helps me a lot to have an opportunity to give opinions in …

I installed the M2 HAT for the Raspberry Pi but found out that the original case while it can have the HAT installed which seems designed for it, it'd work without the top cover at the end. So I went for a cheap metal case designed for both the single board computer and the SSD disk option. Too bad …

These days I'm going to install the new M2 HAT board on a Raspberry Pi 5 8GB board I have so I'll replace the Micro SD card which is the best I can find with a NVME 2230 disk that should increase really a lot disk speed in a o.s. real world scenario. It connects to the board with a PCI-EX connection …

Vintage3D revised their review thanks to your findings https://vintage3d.org/at3d.php Congrats! Btw, because of you, I purchased one. And because I couldn't find a way to run it alone on my Banshee, assuming it's an aT3D on it (still unsure). I'm trying to overclock it. IMG20240804173838.jpg I read …

While the Alliance aT3D has become a personal quest to test as long as I can in the next weeks, meanwhile some of the cards I've bought begins to arrive for future tests. This low end built is a modern SiS6326 H0 (2001 chip), 8MB, 6ns memories. Soon I'll get the best Diamond version. If your late …

I recently started experimenting with different DVD upscaling methods, and am really pleased with the results. So pleased, in fact, that I've managed to convince myself to begin the insane job of upscaling my entire Star Trek DS9 box set. This is something I've been wanting to do since 2020, when …

Built a modern Intel i7-3770 (4C/8T/3,4/Turbo 3,9Ghz/77W) 1155 machine with new 16GB DDR3-1600 RAMs, SATA2 SSD, USB 3.0 PCIEX1, a new Intel Arc 310 card on a light LxQT - Linux running latest kernel and even Steam on it where both HL2 and Doom (2016) runs great. Also using a compact 80-Gold iTek SFX …

As long as I am testing this video card without being sure of the logic of the results I didn't like to suggest half ideas, drivers or links and probably ending up in broken vga installations and errors. If I had some definitive idea of the "best" driver , mixing or how to mix it I would have …

I searched all the versions I could find and there are few 04.3.203x ones which was a good start, I don't have links. It would be interesting to find archived official pages that should even have that .2039 that was not archived from the company webpage. The Voodoo Rush road seems the easy one to …
