The hardware may be there, but not necessarily the drivers.

Not the parent but I too don't see what's wrong with that.

Did you play the original Half-Life 2 from 2004 or one of the "remasters" (though they weren't called that) that comes every few years that updates the graphics and/or engine sligh…

They say that but the engine seems to require an OpenGL 4 GPU while the graphics look like something that could be done on a Voodoo card.

The original IBM PC was ROM-based. It worked fine without a disk drive, it just booted into ROM BASIC instead.

42-bit is the right answer of course.

Debian is removing support for 32-bit x86 in the next release I think.

It looks good from a distance but as soon as you go near anything it devolves into a pixelated mess.

> even mouselook was frowned upon amongst the players I knew In Doom and Wolfentein 3D, it was more of a weird mouse look and move thing that wasn't very usable.

TIL both Xerox and Lexmark still exist. I haven't heard those names for a couple of decades.

I don't think it much different from the official games, which also don't have full access to the console.

TrueType fonts were already part of Windows 3.1, maybe even 3.0 I don't remember.

It looked worse than Windows 3.1 IMO.

I'm pretty sure it comes with a command line C# compiler. At least it used to up until Windows 10. I haven't used 11.

> tried some gaming but didnt have the notion of threads so my shoot em bullets would stop the world :)) The concept you need to fix that is the game or event loop, not threads.

I doubt you're running C compilers on those devices.

I don't know which Gameboy you played, but the original was blurry as hell as soon as anything moves.

To my eyes it looks pretty bad. Nothing like how the games are supposed to look on a TV or CRT monitor.

So just like a modern washing machine or blender then.

It's for the low end gaming market which Nvidia and AMD have been neglecting for years.

It is when the high end is 1000$ or more.

IBM hasn't made a Thinkpad for 2 decades now.

As the article says, you pay for that with a lack of support compared to the Raspberry Pi.

> 386 (not sure how 286 works) did extend segments to a larger address space, by converting them to segment selectors The 286 did that, though they only extended the address space to 24 bits. The 3…

3. Your hardware may not have similar performance characteristics for read and write operations.

No Office application came from DOS to Windows. They either came from the Mac (Word, Excel, PowerPoint) or directly started as Windows apps (Access). Word for DOS was a completely different applicatio…
