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 …

Consulted the Thinkpad T480 Hardware Maintenance Manual to open up my friend's laptop and exchange his failed internal battery with a new third-party one. The battery was visibly bloated. It's a rather annoying thing as batteries become internal - their physical deformations are not visible until …

How is it a risk to run 7 on "unsupported" hardware ?! It is only unsupported per what Microsoft says. I have 7 on a threadripper 7960x, and HOW DO I HAVE WINDOWS 2000 ON INTEL 9100F STABLE . Vendor driver support usually plummets a few years after the hardware is released. And this is not only …

Theoretically if it does become impossible to "jailbreak" future Win11 versions out of the box, wouldn't it still be possible to install the last workable version and then upgrade? Because of the way Windows, and specifically the Windows setup, work, it is almost impossible to make it downright …

Sorry, but we are dealing with apples and oranges here. It's not like you and I are on different fields, we are not even playing the same sport. :) I assist folks with technical problems to the best of my ability. You don't need any technical assistance here, this much we've established. I am …

I see. I'd say these are some strange concepts to attach "respect" and "offense" to, but to each his own. Microsoft wants to sell software and services. That's all they care about. You, as a user, should care about getting the best product you can that meets your requirements with the whatever cost/ …

The day I installed Windows 8.1 is still stuck in my mind as that's the first time newer tech looked unappealing. Like, I knew Vista had issues and had experienced some of them when using PC's that weren't mine, but high-school me still looked at Vista as something to upgrade to once my own …

I dont think ill go back to play the DLC but what a crazy good game it was There's also "Tammy and the T-Rex" you can watch in …

I'm trying to play High on Life (highly praised by a friend of mine, and is certainly a very fresh experience), in parallel with Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis (for DOS Game Club). Finished High on Life (main campaign, and most collectibles). Took me just under half a year, because I was …

I've returned to casually play the DOS version of Golden Axe for some reason. It had always bothered me a bit that the level skip cheat in the Duel mode only works up to battle #8 (there are 15 battles), so I spent some time in the debugger and removed that limit.

I've been playing a lot of Super Mario Brothers lately, emulated with NESticle on my Socket 7 machine. I'm sure there have been studies done as to why this game is so awesome - it's just perfect. I used to be able to finish it but am dying mid world 7 currently. NESticle of course allows you to …

What the... that's practically my main PC, except that I have a Q9550 and an SSD. What the! This is practically my main PC from 2008 till 2018, except that it has a QX9650, 2 BD-RE, larger hard drives, oh, and it's not a DELL. :) I've upgraded that PC from Vista to Win7. I'm contemplating a dual …
