I can give my two cents, I am a web developer (Well, a front-end developer) since 2004. I work mostly on responsive web designs. I can say that I have tested the chromium Edge version and I have to say, I like it. I like the fact that IE is going defunct now and MS moved forward with Edge and web …

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=55yp3uGwJKw problem is I even try to set SVGA 1024x768 256cols from regular win setup , and my lcd monitor shows freq out of sync... Another workaround is using a patched SVGA driver. Some guys patched that universal WfW driver in a way so it would always use VESA …

Yeah, we might need a new topic for both. (lol) If we were to create a new topic like that, maybe we could call it "What modern activity (along with a retro situation) did you get up to today?" :lol: Nah, I don't think we would need a thread like that, we already have this modern tech thread and …

Don't know how to classify this, as a retro or modern activity. But I installed WinAmp 5.8 on my Windows 10 Enterprise VM, along with the classic skin running on it. Oh, memories... I also still use winamp today, and I don't see any need to change that :) it really whips the llama's ass. For sure!

I don't know if it fits the subject, but I would like me and other programmers to code more semantic HTML for retrocompatibility - that could mean correct usage of the tags with their semantic meaning, very little JS or jQuery. Seeing how powerful CSS really is, I don't see a reason to use jQuery in …

Just FYI, gmail works without any workarounds with OE6.0 on Windows 98 SE. Just make sure you enable less secure apps settings. Remember, I am using a separate account just for testing.

Today I have spent some hours finetuning config.sys for my HP Vectra EISA pc. It was very frustrating. Now it finally works in MS-DOS mode. For whatever the reason (probably because the system uses its own proprietary HP memory manager which it keeps in a reserved upper memory area) it did not work …

Just finished Sam and Max. The game puzzles really makes no fuc*$#*ing sense at all. But it's still hilarious as it was 20 years ago. Now I will try Atlantis next day. I'd recommend Day of the Tentacle if you haven't played it already. Very similar to Sam and Max in some respects, apart from the …

I'm ofc not drinking a mcdonald's cup of coffee. McDonald’s and most other coffee taste like dirt compared to a Starbucks which taste like dark chocolate to me. Lol, who likes drinking coffee from a burger joint? :-P Not me, I'm probably a hipster, I drink hot chocolate and frappucinos from …

After finishing Spycraft: The Great Game, I started on "Sam & Max: Hit The Road" with my retro gaming fun. It's a bit disappointing to be "cheating" a little with the game, using a walkthrough guide found on Google. But to be fair, the guide helps to make certain game actions make sense. For …
