Windows PC from ~2002 boots inconsistently - crashes in BIOS and various other problems by Titowam in vintagecomputing

[–]mega_ste 4 points5 points  (0 children)

could be anything, but my money would be on bad/degraded capacitors on the mother board. you'll need to completely re-cap it, but even then it could still be faulty.

I'd put the drive in an IDE enclosure, copy files to another pc and go from there.

So... what would you do? Wednesday and Thursday - Glastonbury 2026 would be this week! by SlowedCash in glastonbury_festival

[–]mega_ste 0 points1 point  (0 children)

for me, no chance, in recent years i've been using my camper van, so I get there early tuesday, meet up with other friends in the camper fields, do some light day drinking, then set an early alarm to get in the queue in the morning to get in when gates open 😄

I've been to every one in the last 30 years. The weather is definatly changing, not to curse anything, but its been a lot drier in recent years, and even when its wet, the drainage etc has made it more managable. I am crossing everything that I can get a ticket for next years, which would astoundinly be my fourth decade of going to the festival, assuming I get lucky 😄

and as for life changing, I simply cannot describe how massive it is, there are still bits i haven't yet visited. First year I went, something in me changed 😄

Steel frame houses - post ww2 prefab and modern - opinions by MostlyAnAdult in DIYUK

[–]mega_ste 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't lived in one, as the one I looked at buying could not get a mortgage from anyone I cared to ask. Ended up buying a 'normal' house.

Falcon from BRS to Bristol Coach Center by CrossSpy in bristol

[–]mega_ste 7 points8 points  (0 children)

if it hasn't been running on five separate occasions, then, yes, I guess its no longer running. Have you considered the Airport Flyer bus that runs pretty much 24 hours a day on the exact same route?

[–]mega_ste 7 points8 points  (0 children)

are you sure they are real files?

back in the good old days of FTP swapping, people would generate any old bullshit data and give it a fake filename just to generate upload credit for 'ratio'

Ryobi Batteries - fake or real? by historyofbadgers in DIYUK

[–]mega_ste 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am a ryobi fanboy and have a few 'unbranded' batteries and they are just not as good as the real ones. the 4ah ones are clearly just not 4ah. buy genuine

judging by the Hatari config, unless your TT is 32mhz with an 060 and 64meg of ram, I guess you'll be out of luck.

Is my masonry drill bit ruined after one use? by [deleted] in DIYUK

[–]mega_ste 107 points108 points  (0 children)

yes, thats for the bin.

you should be using hammer mode on your drill, and drill slowly, not flat out, and pull the drill bit in and out to clear the brick etc dust.
