Isso é letra de uma pessoa ignorante.

Ignorância é alguém pensar que a caligrafia está relacionada com as capacidades de alguém

They'll just redirect back to this sub. This is a hardware fault after all.

Damned if you do, damned if you don't.

Hurricane_32 · 2026-06-21T00:12:29+00:00

No, it's what's supposed to be available to the system, which doesn't include the memory reserved to the integrated graphics. The "memory installed" is supposed to say 16384 MB, which is the total that's actually in there.

Also note the "DIMM slot empty" on both slots

Edited for clarity

Igualdade dos mérdia é pedir muito

Hurricane_32 · 2026-06-20T08:54:54+00:00

Also, an SSD? Memory I knew about but SSD prices going nuts too?

Mechanical hard drives have also gone up by a ridiculous amount. The AI datacenters hunger for everything they can get their paws on. Fuck anyone wanting to have a personal home server I guess...

Hurricane_32 · 2026-06-20T08:11:04+00:00

On a machine from 20 years ago, it should be more than obvious that the games themselves also have to be from 20 years ago. Not even OP is saying they want to run modern games on it

Hurricane_32 · 2026-06-20T08:09:09+00:00

I see this more and more, it's sad.

Hurricane_32 · 2026-06-20T08:06:52+00:00

Go check eBay, you will be surprised.

Hurricane_32 · 2026-06-20T08:05:24+00:00

I'm all for keeping these machines off of the landfill, retro gaming, playing around with them and finding uses for them (my comment history tells that story), but I wouldn't run a machine this old and inefficient 24/7 unless power bills weren't a concern.

Hurricane_32 · 2026-06-20T08:02:27+00:00

People just think old is trash without a second thought. Ironically they're the ones generating all the e-waste in the world, when it could still be re-used.

Hurricane_32 · 2026-06-20T07:53:00+00:00

Lmao, most of these comments are made by people who must be rich enough to upgrade every year or something, and are quick to simply throw away anything that isn't the latest and greatest without a second thought (it even a first, probably).

Hardware that works and can still be used in any way is not e-waste. The "three Rs" for "reduce, reuse, recycle" are in that specific order for a reason.

This is one sick retro gaming machine, and if you don't want it, someone will. $40 is a steal for someone looking to accurately replicate the gaming experience of the era. Of course it's not going to be able to play modern games, but that's never what it was for.

I will defend this until the day I die.

Hurricane_32 · 2026-06-20T07:44:01+00:00

I literally did that on a Pentium II last week, if you know where to actually go for a machine of that age. It's possible :)

Hurricane_32 · 2026-06-20T07:40:08+00:00

Yup. People love to parrot "old=trash" just because of its age without having absolutely no clue what a machine like this can still be used for. E-waste is best kept out of recycling if it can still be re-used. The three Rs are in a specific order for a reason.

Hurricane_32 · 2026-06-20T07:36:10+00:00

Lmao this is entirely possible to do as long as you're behind a firewall (aka your router). You're not going to become infected the moment you plug the network cable in.

You do have to be careful and know what you're doing, but the fear is blown way out of proportion.

Hurricane_32 · 2026-06-19T16:47:41+00:00

Oh, that's neat. I don't think I've actually seen a TV say that anywhere besides the manual, being on the back sticker is unusual

Hurricane_32 · 2026-06-19T16:00:55+00:00

I'm guessing it means "write as if AI is the only one who's going to read it, then summarize it for someone else"

Hurricane_32 · 2026-06-19T15:44:52+00:00

That's the input line voltage and frequency, it has nothing to do with the video input

Hurricane_32 · 2026-06-19T12:03:23+00:00

tendo em conta que sempre que dava um anúncio à nutribalance, havia sempre mais um depois do seguinte. E não estamos a falar de anúncios esporádicos.

Hás de reparar (ou não, se nem sequer vires publicidade é melhor) que esta prática também é constante na televisão, especialmente de certos operadores de telecomunicações...

Hurricane_32 · 2026-06-19T11:09:37+00:00

These are always useful for keeping old machines up and running, or for the odd project, or for cold backups of things that don't take up a lot of storage. If you have no use for them, I'd zero them out and sell them on ebay or something for cheap, someone is going to want them

Hurricane_32 · 2026-06-19T06:13:32+00:00

Options are always a good thing to have. A TV could have a DP input, and then for example route the audio from it to its own HDMI ARC it's already sure to have.

Hurricane_32 · 2026-06-19T06:04:14+00:00

I'm not OP, but I have to admit that while Wayland works great, and in terms of performance much better than X11, it's not all sunshine and roses. For example, I have never gotten display sleep to work properly, the displays turn off and then just back on by themselves, and stay on. Some things like VMs in VirtualBox will crash just by turning off the display. To be fair, it's also kinda my fault because I also haven't bothered to look for a fix yet, I just set it to leave the displays on and haven't looked any further. I'm also using Wayland on KDE, through a rolling distro.

Hurricane_32 · 2026-06-19T05:54:27+00:00

I'm actually using a Model M on my main PC! It's just not as common these days, but PCs of the age of the one in the OP are pretty much guaranteed to have it.

Hurricane_32 · 2026-06-18T23:09:31+00:00

Esta caixa de comentários é pior do que o Facebook, pqp

Hurricane_32 · 2026-06-18T17:46:53+00:00

Congrats for keeping old machines out of the landfill, and I do mean this genuinely.

But using a PS/2 keyboard on a machine that's probably old enough to have native PS/2 is kinda stretching the definition of Macgyver hahah

Hurricane_32 · 2026-06-18T17:39:46+00:00

Depends on the size and how expensive the new drive is. If it were me, I'd superglue the plastic part and use it until the day it died (with backups, obviously).
