Sony did that too with PlayStation 3. There was an API through which games could say this surface here texture can be an ad. Then Sony would place ads there (you were online so they were "live"). Then based on where your camera would point they would know how much each player looked at a "billboard" …

Hi folks, I have a Corsair branded water cooler which I want to remove to replace the processor underneath. It is connected via 4 screws to the motherboard. I managed to only unscrew one of them. The other 3 seem to be rotating to infinity (either tightening or loosening) and nothing happens. When I …

If you have a compatible monitor, you can build an adapter. But the easiest way is to put a new video card in one of the many expansion slots (if your m24 has the 'big' expansion card) Like i did with my Paradise Vga, which is a 16 bit card, but worked fine in a 8 bit slot! (at least in b/w) I will …

Neither actually. I got this: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Xerox-Keyboa … 872.m2749.l2649 Which should work on an M24.

It finally came. Just the machine, I bought a keyboard separately and I will try to either a) install a CGA or VGA card to get video b) connect the existing plug to a VGA monitor using a wire of my own making The computer cost me a pretty penny and it is pretty beat up, but it turns on. So now it is …

Don't know who buys at those prices. A few months ago prices for i5-2500/K were around 20-30€. i7-2600/K for 40-70€. 3rd gen from 30 to 100€ - 3470 to 3770 on eBay.de. Yes that is what I would have expected. This should be the correct price/speed ratio if we also look at modern processors. After …

One of my machines I think needs a new CPU, and I do not need it to be very fast, just work. So I was looking for a Core i5 say 2nd or 3rd generation. That is Core I5 2xxx or 3xxx. I mean I am talking 8 year old processor. To my surprise the prices for those are through the roof (at least according …
