Made me think of the first season of Halt and Catch Fire.

Or is it like a Y2K death trolly and when the overflow happens the universe doesn’t catch the exception and things get weird. Like suddenly any number can be divided by 0.

Shudder. I had this weird brand laptop… Sotec IIRC and there just wasn’t a modline that ever got it all right.

Xserver… Somehow trying to find the magic string of letters and numbers that made your screen work.

I have arrived

The trouble for me was always getting people to use the controllers. I had some success with some family members using bubbleupnp on their Android phones. But the separation between sources, renderers and controllers is a little confusing for non technical people

DLNA is going to be your best bet, but it’s such a deep and convoluted rabbit hole. There’s a lot of ways to configure a setup.

Ubiquiti unifi g4 doorbell works great for me with home assistant. But it’s a bit of an upgrade as you would need all the supporting hardware as well.

They have a browser plug-in. I use it on Firefox on my desktop and on my Android phone. My uses it on Chrome on both as well.

I started using Kagi. Yeah, I have to pay for it. But we’re paying for Google too, kagi is just more honest about how.

Exactly, a millennial has now clue about the newfangled kids stuff. Just hit “close friends”

To be fair a hotplate could play games better than a p4 and do it while staying cooler.

Isn’t it more like a network of several billion dumb computers?

I have a box with 10 old laptops that I keep around, just for that. Unreal tournament 2004, Insane, Brood Wars and all the Id classics. I don’t get to set it up a lot, but when I do it’s always a hit.

That joke takes me back. Had to double check if I was on slashdot.

They don’t write sql they just use some god awful orm or cram it all into a nosql db.

My pixel 5 is one of the styrdiest phones I have ever owned. It’s been just fine for years and I don’t use a case or screen protector

Could you add a fan at the exhaust end to create an ever present, gentle, negative pressure to encourage the air to flow that way?

Acinfiniti makes duct fans that have a temperature sensor and when it detects the change in temperature it turns the fan on. I took one apart and used the sensor, pcb and fan in a different project without problems.
