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

Posted on 2023-01-28, 05:35

I dunno where to put this but it happened on modern hardware. I ran 3DMark2000 at 1872x1248 on my Surface Laptop 3 i7 to get... 4302 3D marks. And a few graphical glitches, but those are to be expected. https://link.storjshare.io/raw/jvxikkhiqnksyeatwcn3iigoa3ta/techlgbt/media_attachments/files/109/ …

I dumpster dived for a PC in a gaming case, but it definitely isn't gaming. The only thing I can really tell about it is that it has a GT 640. There was a Sony Vaio laptop there I should have taken too, it came with Vista preinstalled... it might still be there if I go back. I already have a Sandy …

RGB is usually an easy attack vector, too. As for myself, I've been throwing bids os Surface Laptop 3s to try hackintoshing, dual booted with Slackware. I've got a promising one going so far. I would prefer just getting a real Mac, but I can't afford one. Plus, I love the 3:2 aspect ratio and 1.54:1 …

Re: Cheap but well performing PCI 3D video cards

A PCI 5200 or 5500 would be fine, just don't expect amazing DX9 gaming as FX series cards are well known for having poor DX9 performance, but for anything DX7/8 based they will be great little PCI cards. Note apparently some PCI FX 5200s are rebranded MX 4000s with a slight memory boost (33MHz, …

Re: Retro confessions. What are yours?

My confession: I think Half-Life 2 is overrated. As someone whose favorite PC game is HL1, I too think it is. HL2 is a fine game, but it's erased the first game in any form other than Black Mesa or the occasional novelty. I think HL2 tends to get a little too much praise, to the point of some of …

Re: Hardware you wish you'd never bought.

I'm starting to think the cooler I just bought for my Athlon may be SEPP. If so, that's a major oopsie on my part, to say the least. I thought I was getting a good deal but a cooler labeled as being for Athlon and a fan wasn't much more... I'll give it a quick shot when I get it but if it gives me a …

Still blows my mind to call the PlayStation 3 "retro." It doesn't feel that long ago to me but no, it's more than 15 years old at this point. What is time. I think this video has a good perspective on what "retro" would be, at least regarding game consoles. Yeah that makes a lot of sense. It really …

Finished a backup of an old laptop hard drive that had Windows 8.1 on it. Next step is verifying the image and reinstalling with Mageia 8 as I've been meaning to get around to trying it as a former Mandriva user, and a small T2 SDE-made Linux install entirely as a blank slate for my GNOME 1.4 fork. …
