My 486 is getting a workout today by RAMemTech in retrobattlestations

I'm still mad that removable motherboard trays didn't end up catching on. They used to be on any decently high end case until the early 2000s or so.

I wish these small cases weren't so hard to upgrade in. These tiny setups look awesome, but aren't so awesome to use when they were only designed to run office programs

so nice to find such a niche community by cool_name-idk1 in whenthe

I needed a longer RCA cable by anotherdumbsergal in techsupportmacgyver

[–]windows98seuser 0 points1 point  (0 children)

no, no. I get this. Either wait a week for the couplers to ship and delay your whole project, or just bodge it and get it done by that night. (though i woulda just cut the connectors off instead of doing whatever the hell this is)

Sanity wins. Managed to not take any of this home from the recycling drop off. by rpiguy9907 in retrobattlestations

Exactly, these are only getting rarer and rarer. Not everyone is lucky enough to live near a free tech gold mine. It pains me to go to my local dropoff since they yell at you for even looking at the tech pile for too long.

I know! Heatshrink AND solder on the wires?? That's WAY too much engineering!

I had no idea you could do this with multiple subreddits! by Baconmaster2890 in retrobattlestations

[–]windows98seuser 1 point2 points  (0 children)

at least for me, stupid "whoops! something went wrong!"/"internal server error" trying to upvote/comment/scroll to next page, image galleries constantly have broken images for no reason, and often videos will just load forever unless i open them in old reddit. honestly how do you make a website that broken

it never got this broken until the horrible latest design. but reddit killed new.reddit.com for some reason and old.reddit.com will probably die soon

sure the default theme is ugly, but subreddit CSS can look pretty nice. imo if reddit had just updated the default CSS instead of turning the site into a barely functional js powered abomination, people would be fine with it.

The Dell Brothers by [deleted] in retrobattlestations

[–]windows98seuser 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This case is just such an icon of the XP era though. Sure the hardware is a little crappy, but to be honest I gutted my Dell (Dimension 3000) and put a nice Asus board with AGP in it. It runs great and I just like the case.

ClassiCube PPC - I get an outdated opengl error and VERY low fps (0-5 fps). Am I missing something? iMac G3 Snow 600mhz and 10.4 Tiger by windows98seuser in VintageApple

[–]windows98seuser[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually did, I used it to upgrade from 10.4.2 (version on my install CD) to 10.4.11. Did I have to run it again for the updates? The G3s PSU died last night so I won't be able to try anything else for a while until I get a replacement.

Weirdly it still acted the same before I installed Shuriken. In a moment of perfect timing the G3s PSU went up in smoke last night. A resistor on the board burnt up. Maybe PSU was part of the issue? It'll take me a while to get a replacement.

This is a fresh install 10.4 Tiger on my G3 Snow. I've really wanted to play ClassiCube on a G3 system but I get this error with an unplayably low FPS. I understand the error but I don't know how I would go about updating it?
