And poor software support.

> Chasm: The Rift I might be misremembering but I thought it was more of a Doom-style engine with 3d models instead of sprites for the entities, rather than a full 3d engine like Quake.

What source code?

Doubtful. Isn't Mini Micro build on Unity? That has much higher system requirements.

Because that's not a RISC-V standard but a custom extension implemented by one chip.

Scrolling is extremely laggy.

I have an old laptop with a GT 240M that's stuck in such a situation.

Doesn't that count anything that has 'unsafe' in it, not just the keyword?

Unless the old drivers have security issues, then you're stuck with the nouveau driver which sometimes only has very basic support for some GPUs.

They're talking about Microsoft's gaming marketshare.

The UI is unreadable due to low contrast and tiny text.

I think you overestimate the number of people who care how the software (or any product really) they use is made.

I'm a bit like the parent poster and I scored 0 on your test. It's not like I can't tell the difference if I see hi- and low-fidelity products next to each other. It's just that I …

> I assume you mean "orders of magnitude" and not "out of memory". I mean they mentioned Jetbrains, it could be either.

Why not both?

You are still the product with commercial OSes. Paying doesn't stop them from shoving ads and telemetry wherever they can.

An even worse, or at least equally bad, UI fail in that Lightroom screenshot/gif: I can't even tell which buttons are supposed to be clickable and which are disabled/grayed out.

It's subtle but they aren't the same. The list makers are now to the right of the text entries as they should. But it's hard to see because it's somewhat hidden by the glaring issu…

Not even Wolfenstein 3D, since it doesn't have textured walls. It's more like Hovertank 3D.

That's not confusing enough. It should be just Copilot.

This is one of many Turbo Vision ports/clones. There's also this one in C++: https://github.com/kloczek/tvision The one that comes with FreePascal/Lazarus is writt…

Youtube and Gmail take ages to load for me. Patreon is another one.

That's called wine and dosbox.

The original Raspberry Pi had a 24 GFLOPS GPU for comparison.

Windows 3.0 and 3.1 were very popular and made use of the 286's protected mode.

Your paperwhite will soon become paperweight.

I'm not sure that's the reason since Doom and Wolfenstein 3d before it also had such demo systems but they didn't use a client/server model.
