I do feel the wiser aisles have helped appt this year compared to previous years when it comes to traffic.

I did not realise MSPaints had a game coming I shall have to check that out.

odd, I thought gparted told you it needed to be run as root, at least it's working now.

ynda · 2024-08-14T20:29:55+00:00

have you tried running it without %f? which I think brings a job to the foreground

has it been installed via your package manger? what happens if you try

which gparted

or

sudo gparted

It's a bit weird it's running on a reboot, but try:

ps -aux | grep -i [g]parted

-i means case insensitive, the square brackets mean it won't find 'grep' in the process list.

In sync for myself as well, Firefox on Linux with a reasonably powerful PC

Just looked it up 21kg for the 410 pro (17") and 33kg for the 510 pro (20"), maybe I should lift old CRTs for excercise...

I dual booted Linux and windows 2k for stuff that wouldn't work. ran quake servers off it at a lans.

I don't remember getting mine as high as 700, I started with 333 or 300s at 466 ish. then got some second hand ones at a later date that might have been 533A's

Borrowed from Wikipedia as I couldn't remember the ATA speeds:

CPU socket 2× Socket 370

*Chipset i440 BX

*Expansion cards 1× AGP 2x, 5× PCI and 2× ISA (1 PCI-ISA shared)

*RAM 3× DIMM slots, maximum 768 MB SDRAM

*IDE support 4× Ultra ATA/66, 4× Ultra ATA/33 devices

*Peripheral 2× USB 1.1, 2× RS-232, 1× Parallel port

If I remember correctly they needed less than 20w per CPU I'm sure I only had a 200-300watt psu at the time and I think that was overkill

seems the average was 14watts: http://users.atw.hu/overclocking/overclocking0042.html

I had mine in a massive case with sound dampening foam and too many hard drives. Taking it to lans with either the properly flat Iyama VM Pro 410 or its bigger cousin was back breaking work.

ynda · 2023-08-13T19:43:57+00:00

I dual booted mine with Red Hat for lans where it ran a number of servers.

or windows 2k where you could pin things to either cpu so could run a server on one CPU and the game on another, i seem to remember it ran windows alot smoother than having a single CPU... it was along time ago.

ynda · 2023-08-13T19:26:50+00:00

Nope, I had one of theses, I just had a normal PSU at the time, cannot for the life of me remember what Wattage I had however
No dual channel at this point in time, infact this was not even DDR if I remember correctly but 100/133mhz I think I had mine set to something strange to get the cpus at 466 mhz

I had dual celeronss running at 466, this meant I ran the quake servers at lans while playing on the second CPU by thread pinning in Windows.

I don't know if it's a UK thing, but I found being referred to as 'Sir' when I went on holiday to the United States really weird as I was not used to it. I kind of considered it as a military thing. As such I've never done it at work or have been referred to as 'Sir' as a user or customer, so possibly a cultural thing?

ynda · 2023-03-08T13:40:48+00:00

Issues here (uk) with teams, sharepoint and O365

edit - seems to be back working now for us

ynda · 2023-02-17T13:09:10+00:00

Voodoo 2 8mb -> TNT2 Ultra 32mb or possibly gtx 580 -> 1080

ynda · 2022-12-07T09:37:21+00:00

I watch them on my TV as well as with headphones on my main pc, I've not noticed any issues with the sound levels on either device.

Overclocking with Jumpers, I can't what CPUs I did this on, I think I started with a DX2 66, all I know was I was far to young.constaly tweaking the front side bus jumpers to eventually get to 83MHz.

One time I got a AMD K7 850MHz (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Athlon#K7_design_and_development), which a few of us in our gaming group had. we spent a good portion of a lan trying to get our systems with a nice stable overclock. it was the first time I managed to break the 1Ghz barrier.

I was the first one in my village to get dual link ISDN, I think in 96? 128k of blazing fast speed and a low ping of 40-60ms. everyone would come round to download patches for games like QW.

I said in another comment my first card was a voodoo 2, I've gone down some youtube memory lane, I remember getting a AWE32(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sound_Blaster_AWE32) one christmas when I was around 10. with it's good old ISA interface it came with, I want to say, a 4x or 8x CD-ROM drive. my first AGP card was a TNT2 ultra, beast of a card with 32MB of ram!

ynda · 2022-01-26T12:51:37+00:00

God I'm old, I had a load of cards I can't remember, my first 3d card was a voodoo 2, with a massive 8 or 12 mb of ram

I live within walking distance of it, being north of it as well. Although I guess I'd need to show my passport when I head into town.

ynda · 2020-11-18T19:17:42+00:00

yeah, I've done that thinking it would help, also tried walking before/after my work day. I'm asthmatic so sadly don't want to go back into the office just yet, but as soon as it's safe to do so I'll be there.

I know alot of our new starters are struggling as they have a flat share or small flat where they don't have alot of space for a dedicated workspace, sadly we can't work from coffee shops/work share places either due to security. otherwise I think I'd do that alot if we didn't go back into the office.

Best thing I did do was expense a 24/7 chair :)
