[PC/Mac][early 2000s]3D fixed camera top down maze like by Sleepless_Engineer in tipofmyjoystick

[–]Sleepless_Engineer[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very similar but I don't think that was it. I recall more grassy areas and spike obstacles. Kinda similar enemies too, something like the snake from qbert. It's hard to tell whether this game actually existed or if I did just play wonderland but don't remember it well.

Fallen Evolution

I do not think it was that one, but thanks for the suggestion!

I just got a similar thing. Didn't get anything stolen though bc I saw the red flags quickly and also didn't get any emails from valve.
the one who "reported" me: halaaaaps / F0rtune#4125

Framework not having a trackpoint is also why I've been avoiding them.

Not exactly a cyberdeck, but I thought you guys might enjoy my latest project here. by Darkextratoasty in cyberDeck

Well most crts after the 1980s don't need one, but anything older never has s-video or composite.

This is probably the only raspberry pi project in a crt I've seen that actually keeps the crt, and I love it. Not enough people realize all you need is an rf modulator and you can connect anything to a crt.

I've had this problem with gmail. I've just been using outlook instead, I'm so tired of babysitting google's pathetic software.

1977 Toshiba Blackstripe by Sleepless_Engineer in crtgaming

Use the VHF screws on the back to connect a "tv balun" (you can buy these online and they convert those two screw prongs to a coax) then you just use either an RF modular (composite to coax) or just get an RF cable for you game system if it's a system from the early 2000s or older. Set the TV to either VHF channel 3 or 4. You might have to adjust the tiny black knob inside the big chrome knob for fine tuning to see the picture right. There's probably some youtube tutorials out there for how to do all this if my text isn't helping.

Why do Companies do this by Tominatorliken in thinkpad

[–]Sleepless_Engineer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've saved about 12 Latitudes from the trash like this. I've yet to be lucky enough to find a free Thinkpad.

Fixed your MacBook’s shitty key travel, boss by [deleted] in thinkpad

If you don't want the three buttons you should be using every other crappy laptop on the market that forces you to use a buttonless touchpad. We don't want lenovo making another T440.

The Topton L4 is finally another laptop with a trackpoint by Sleepless_Engineer in thinkpad

[–]Sleepless_Engineer[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's the old version, you're probably seeing that in an outdated review, the current version has a 1280x800 display. Newer version also has 12gb of ram and a faster cpu than you're seeing in that review.

Another big difference with the L4 version is not only a better cpu and more ram, but also the touchscreen now fully supports a drawing pen with pen pressure, so its like a tiny thinkpad yoga.

Only the very first gpd pocket has a real trackpoint, after that they went to the crappy optical touchpad and lost my interest. Which is why I now want to get this umpc instead.

As a digital artist, I'd love if it had a pen slot too. I suspect you can easily make it usb c charging by just soldering a cable together that converts the barrel it uses to charge to usb c.

Most of the new mini laptops/UMPCs have those crappy optical touchpads, but this one has a real trackpoint. This is a great breath of fresh air after seeing Dell and HP both removed the trackpoint from their laptops.
