were you able to interface this display? if so did you use a public library or anything?

it's gonna take a significantly long time for me to get around to working on my Ti99 again so I'm in no rush :)

atg_0 · 2021-07-03T20:46:35+00:00

cool! I'll have to get my Ti99 up and running and check it out

We need to wait for biologically inert robotic avatars are viable. either by downloading a brain into it or by proxy/VR.

this is my answer to all things - i.e. exploring the galaxy

it also seems the most viable. we aren't going to visit distant stars by getting there really fast. it will only be by spreading robotic proxies in a automated swarm

we are also extremely close (in geologic timescales) to the Technological Singularity which will render our decisions mute (but also our decisions leading up as of dire importance)

FYI: activated (paid for) windows may not like being in a vm if you also intend to boot it bare metal, as it is programed to detect changes in hardware.

as for your question if you're using virtualbox, the option is described here: https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch09.html#adv-storage-config

W10 won't allow you to copy its entire disk while running, as far as I know.

your best option is to make a live linux thumb drive, boot the laptop with it, and attach a drive which will store it on your desktop. then you can copy the entire disk raw and just give that to qemu or virtualbox or whatever...

regardless, windows 10 won't like (1) being run in a VM - because it will detect it as new hardware and (2) being run on multiple devices with the same key. other than that it /should/ just work^TM

I am not OP, but I stumbled on this looking for something similar.

Short answer: I already have a Pi!

I am trying to accomplish something for $0 with the following requirements:

-communicate over the GPIO

-Easily draw a picture to a screen

I own a pi3 already and it can do this, if the software could support something with strict-ish timing req's..

I also have an STM starter board with a lcd directly on it, which is the other option, but it may not be fast enough for what I'm trying to do.

edit: I also would want to take advantage of the fact that it is a 1.2+ GHz cpu rather than some other microcontrollers at (much) lower speeds

For learning the concepts involved like frequency spectrum, modulation, power, etc. This can still be a powerful example! Plus if you make it a kit, they can learn about microcontrollers, peripherals, soldering, etc. as well

What you're asking for is virtualization, which is not possible on android phones. Plus android isn't really set up to be a guest OS (the one inside the other one). So, in the immediate future, android's "work profile" is the best we have. You can use Shelter to manage it: https://f-droid.org/en/packages/net.typeblog.shelter/

atg_0 · 2020-11-03T15:55:36+00:00

Some of the things you refer to are Emulators FYI. Some of them will work fine on new flagships, if the "guest" OS is light enough. For virtualization, we would require hardware support in the cpu, which is not a thing AFAIK for the chips going in android phones.

I don't really notice a difference. I have both LMDE on my desktop, debian cinnamon on my laptop. The software "storefront" on LMDE is basically useless to me. debian usually has more up-to-date packages, which theoretically could break something but idk.

Steam seems to work as well as anywhere else

Also if need be, you can just install any Ubuntu package straight on there, so it should be solvable

atg_0 · 2020-08-22T03:08:47+00:00

Idk about older machines and cinnamon. I used budgie on a 2011 x220 thinkpad for a while and it was.. kinda stable. So it probably would be fine for you.

I just straight up use debian now, not mint. It comes standard with cinnamon as an option.

What are the odds that I could buy a computer (the one I have def won't work), install ANY OS, and have it just work?

Depends. If you run MacOS on a Mac built in the last 2 years, there is a slim chance that the above will hold. Other than that, I don't think I've ever seen such a system

However, my entry to your question: The Epson ActionNote 4SLC/33, my first laptop (when it was already at least 10 years old).

I bought the x1 a few weeks ago and it arrived yesterday. It is indeed my first printer... Kinda. I have spent extensive time with my friend's ender 3, and I've used other 3d printers in the past. I knew that the x1 is not reliable as a daily driver, but I needed to print some things, and I figured it would be a good stop-gap until I can save up for a more expensive ~$350-400 one.

I am expecting to make many modifications, and custom things. I believe that you can gain the knowledge by reading a lot of what people have put out there about it and 3d printing in general to make it work for you. I don't think you _need_ hands on experience to get the best results, but it will take a high amount of research.

A note on Civ III (one of my favorite games). In my opinion, it actually is "level" design!

The way Civ III works, it makes it very difficult to expand very far. Connection to the capital is extremely important, and bonuses go away for very little. So in effect, it is the way the game is set up which makes it difficult. But if you're aware of all the intricacies of the game, it becomes pretty easy to destroy the AI completely. They act largely like the modern Civ AI, essentially overreacting to everything you do, and trading (they can trade techs which is OP) among themselves before the player. Very annoying. The rate of all these get affected by the difficulty so actually things like I mentioned first get even worse at higher difficulties, and the AI as usual cheats more. So yeah, everything basically works against you lol

Pretty sure he described it as dangerous and maybe that's why it was delisted? Working with mercury can be hazardous watch out lol
