I’m a bit sad that I’ve stuck to my guns on completely jumping ship from Twitter (and Reddit after the API fiasco) and so many people who said they would just … didn’t. It was an ad for white supremacy on Shitter that finally made me nope out.
How are Intel’s drivers? My new PC has an A750 because I like to live dangerously. It’s been great in Windows for the few games I want to play (the older stuff that has performance issues with Arc I’m largely not interested in or can play on my old PC)
I work for a college. We use our internal link shorteners to make sure a given link points at the latest version of a resource and measure engagement by seeing what is the best way to get important information to our students and faculty. (Did people actually click on that announcement in our LMS?)
They’re terribly useful for us.
I’ve been using it in lieu of google maps for quite some time now and it seems to work fine. It no longer assumes I’m The Blues Brothers and direct me to drive straight through shopping malls.
so Twitter was vi then he turned it into edlin and now he wants it to be emacs.
Easiest: Find an old 4:3 flatscreen vga monitor that also supports composite. There’s a fair number of them out there. Best: retrotink but that’s going to probably cost more than the c64.
Upvote for popularity, downvote because I’m not in the 10k :D
I’ve been using it for GM as well as mt-32. At least until I find a way to easily hook it and my X2GS waveblaster card up and manage the audio properly.

Will do. That’s actually an mt32-pi, which is a Raspberry Pi based MT-32 emulator which works pretty much flawlessly and handles General MIDI as well.

The mt32-pi has really taken off in the MiSTerFPGA community, so there’s less resources about using it with vintage hardware (or places to buy prebuilt ones that use a MIDI jack) but it works great for that.
What makes hardware “retro” is certainly an interesting question. This machine is 24 years old, although I’m using it to recreate an experience closer to thirty years old.
At the same the Pentium III came out, the Apple II line would have been 22 years old. Was the Apple II considered “retro” in 1999? It was only six years discontinued at that point…
I think retro will invariably be the generation of computer the person in question used as a youth. Maybe.
He’s gonna fire a lot of employees in about a year.
