I enjoyed DRDOS. I didn’t have much to do with it as a hobbyist, but definitely enjoyed trying it out. I wasn’t old enough to use it back in the day.

But have been away from M$ for 4-5 years now. The Linux train is the best train.

Yeah agreed, that little amber display is awesome

I don’t have direct experience with what you’re trying to do with CTTY, but I do have a CF-to-IDE on a 5160. It’s been a while since I used it, but it was a game changer because I could get exact versions of things I needed more easily. Iirc I ended up with MS-DOS 5 as a sweet spot between features and performance, and I also tried things like DR-DOS.

I’m not understanding the logic here. Apple killed their last tower. That isn’t surprising, and their user base is perfectly happy buying nothing but SOCs.

Then there is a still-expanding PC gaming market, where building the machine from discrete parts is a portion of the hobby. By and large, this has never really overlapped with Apple’s user base.

The article does a poor job saying why we should expect non-Apple machines to go the same direction.

On Tuesday, the jury deliberated for only one day before agreeing that Meta should pay $375 million in civil damages for violating state consumer protections and misleading parents about the safety of its apps.

Not enough. These corporations operate on different math. They pay no taxes. They swim in currency. Pick the biggest realistic number you can imagine and then multiply it by the next biggest. Anything less will be factored out as the cost of business.

Case in point: $375 million is a mere fraction of what Meta spends in a bunch of different areas. Compared to profits, it’s practically rounding error. It won’t affect much.

His skin would clear up if he stopped drinking.

They’re not really supposed to be played like Mario. Sonic is about getting through the level aa quick as you can without dying.

To be fair, the game doesn’t really reward you for doing that (besides the time bonus). But the levels are designed for it.

It’s clearly because the drive can’t access the rest of the storage around the bend.

Along with anything else costing less than $500.

2026: “My LLM is female and conscious.”

2016: “My body pillow is female and prefers to be called Waifuchan”

I suspect Sony just thinks if they throw enough money at it, they’ll get more return than they would have before, since Disney has bolstered the Marvel brand. If that’s true, they’ll hang on to the deal they have as long as possible.

The world would be very different if Sony had just looked to acquire Marvel in its entirety when the Spiderman deal was made (which was ≈10 years prior to the Disney buyout).

Sony made the deal in the late 1990s when Marvel was basically bankrupt. They didn’t predict that Disney would eventually own the whole thing and turn it into a behemoth.

To be fair, the fact that it is now a behemoth is probably a factor in why Sony continues to throw money at it instead of letting the rights lapse. The more people Disney gets into Marvel, the more potential for better return on a Sony-made movie in the same universe. At least that’s probably what the execs think.

Gonna be a rough few years for PC gaming. Or any gaming, for that matter.

But hey, at least we’ll keep killing jobs and the AI cat videos will continue to flow

Pay your taxes or shut up.

This. AI is not and will not be profitable. It’s afloat because of an investor circlejerk. Once they get off then it’s over. A waiting game.

I’m waiting to see a few more reviews. Like you I played the demo and had similar thoughts. My primary worry is that nothing has changed between demo and release… Hope it isn’t the case because with just some little tweaks, it could be great.

I think the price feels a little steep, even with the launch sale. But if it is legitimately good and not borked or undercooked, I could still see grabbing it.

Even the subtitle hints that the headline isn’t what you might think it is:

They’re worried they’re not spending enough on AI.

These people are looking at the massive AI black hole and guessing they aren’t spending enough on it.

But whether pouring even more money into AI will suddenly turn the tech into a money maker — and not a major expense on the balance sheet — remains the subject of a heated debate.

Only for the idiots in the C-suite who play so nonchalantly with the lives and money of others.

I would have said GTA6, though it doesn’t seem like things are great at Rockstar and I wonder how much that has affected the product.

Also, if HL3 actually comes out, I am obligated by the years of swooning to name that as my GOTY. It actually seems close but I’ll believe it when I see it.

A bigger issue is that the Steam Deck touchpads don’t work without Steam being open

This is interesting, because the touchpads on the Steam Controller do work without Steam being open, at least on Linux, though without cursor acceleration. I wonder why the touchpads on the Deck were handled differently.

Not true about Proton. It’s Steam DRM that requires Steam running in the bg, same as on Windows.
