My main PC is Windows 7. About 10 years ago I remember I had to do something with the firewall. I remember turning it off. I legit do not remember if I turned it back on.

Because I don’t like Windows 10, and Windows 11 seems like a privacy nightmare.

Could you install older windows systems on a single board x86? Like maybe xp? Or windows 7?

He’s not exclusively N64, he covers a wide array of topics, but you could probably find a few decent videos from The Gaming Historian.
Same thing with Nintendrew, and MetalGamerJesus.

Ok guys. New plan. We “Truman Show” this guy, except we all join together and celebrate a new global holiday. Pizza Day! And we do it on this guys birthday. No prior notice, no online discussion. We just all celebrate pizza day, and gaslight him for never hearing of it before.
But we do it all day. Just around him. And then the next day we do not understand what he’s talking about.
BUT NOBODY OFFER HIM PIZZA!!! AND NOBODY SELL HIM PIZZA!!!
Lets see if we can drive him crazy in 48 hours.

Wtf Germany?
If you think THATS bad, wait until you see what they were doing between 1936-1945.
Still though…I’d be mad too if my pizza day were taken away.

No, not spam. Pizza!!! Spam comes in a can, and can best be described as “not good enough to be cat food”.
Pizza is delicious, and Itaily should be proud.

- Comment on Sony will cut around 250 jobs from the recordable media business manufacturing hub and will gradually cease production of optical discs, including Blu-ray discs. 1 day ago:
Found a small part of the problem.
Physical media is dying because the majority of people think just as short sighted as businesses do. Businesses think in short term thoughts like quarters. They do so because investers want immediate return.
But why would you as a person not want physical media??? I literally bought a George Carlin dvd of one of his HBO specials 2 days ago. It was traded into a local resale shop as “used”. It was brand new, because even though the plastic wrap was gone, the adhesive label at the top was still unbroken. Brand new dvd. $3.

When was the last time you walked into any store and bought a feature length film or tv show on hard drive or SSD?
Well not ANYMORE!!! Not since Best Buy stopped carrying physical media!!!

- Comment on Poor Sega just didn't get the timing right. 1 day ago:
It’s not that they had no confidence. It’s that they took Nintendos approach on hardware. Sell low at a loss, and make the money on software.
Problem is, you could pirate every single game on dreamcast. Just get a legit copy of the game (renting, buying and returning, borrow from a friend), and have a CD burner.
Then you could make a 1:1 copy of the game in roughly an hour. As the year 2000 went on, websites even made it easier by posting the game files for download. If you didn’t have broadband (many didn’t at the time. Most had 56k), you could go to your local library and carry a USB stick.
So every console sold cost them money. And the software was performing abysmally. Plus, PS2 was right around the corner. XBox was an unknown, and Gamecube was assumed to do better than it did.
From a console war perspective, the year 2001 may have been the most competitive year EVER for video games.

Hey…I still remember the release date. 9/9/99.
Plus, you could use your dreamcast to talk to a fish. An insulting sarcastic fish…but the game was narrated by Leonard Nemoy. Sometimes he’d insult you too…

Fun fact, Danny Sexbang had ZERO idea about that feature despite playing Link to the Past growing up. It wasn’t until Arin Hanson forced him to repeatedly attack them. Then we got to hear Dannys reaction in realtime for the first time ever seeing what happens.

He doesn’t affect me at all. I heard of him once about 5 years ago…and then I forgot he existed until this development.
trump doesn’t affect me either…but he’s shoved into my face every minute of every day. And there’s no stopping it. Even if some nutjob killed him, he would STILL be in the news about why he was killed. Nobody talks about Lyndon Johnson, but everybody talks about JFK. Nobody talks about Andrew Johnson, but everybody remembers Lincoln.
Point is, there is no escaping it. At least with dr disrespect, you can just move on from that ONE post, and your day will be free of him for the rest of your day. Not so with trump.

- Comment on Did the largest Ukraine community & its instance got nuked? 3 days ago:
I’ve always had an alternative take on the “afterlife”. Some people like to think of spirits as this tangible thing, like a ghost, or something that is self aware. I see it more like how someone would say “The spirit of the city comes alive at these events!”. So in that case, the city has a spirit. It’s not a ghost, but that’s more along the lines of how I interpret the spirit. My grandma died in October. Her spirit lives on with me until the day I die. I will continue spreading stories of the things she’s taught to me. In that way, she will continue to inspire people who she’s never even met. So in that way her spirit lives on.
So now that you get the idea of what I mean by spirit, here is what I think happens to us when we die. In the short term, you cease to exist. You don’t experience anything more. You don’t look down upon people from the heavens. You don’t roam the earth observing life. You just…don’t exist anymore. In the long term your spirit lives on. Each persons spirit will continue a different length of time. I’m sure there was probably a guy named Tom who lived in what is now Boston, back in the 1600s. I have no idea about who or what Tom did, because everything he ever did has been forgoten. Toms spirit has died. Others have their spirit live on for much longer. George Washingtons spirit lives on as long as America lives on. There may or may not have been a guy named Jesus. If he did exist, he’s got to hold the record for longest living spirit. I can’t think of anybody elses spirit from 2000+ years ago we still think about today.
The point is, while you’re alive you have the chance to make an impact on as many or as few people as you can. Physically everybody is going to experience death differently. Ironically, people who are executed through lethal injection have the easiest death I can think of. Pain free. The rest of us are going to experience something much more horrible. Some die in their sleep peacefully.
But after you’re gone, your spirit is all that remains. How long it remains depends on who you inspired, and what concepts you gave birth to for societies benefit.
- Comment on Did the largest Ukraine community & its instance got nuked? 3 days ago:
Don’t worry, if Kyiv’s getting nuked, so are all the rest of us, so you’d have found out long before you had time to read about it! :D
Actually, I don’t think they’d ever find out about it. One second they would exist, and then suddenly, not so much. Obviously no one has any way to prove this, but the going expectation is that if you get nuked, you don’t even feel pain. It happens so fast, you just cease to be an alive person anymore, and instead become a pile of ash. You essentially go from healthy living human, to creamation where you stand, in an instant.
Obviously nobody who’s ever been vaporized like that can comment after the fact if they felt pain, or were aware of anything. What we do know is there have been recovered scenes after the Japanese nuked cities where you see a shadow in the shape of a person. That’s where that person was, and their body cast enough of a shadow in that moment of bright intense light, that it prevented the ground from being cooked by the blast. Unfortunately, nobody was giving the middle finger to something unrelated when the blast happened. As dark as the situation was, if it had to happen, it would have been kinda neat if the shadows were doing something interesting by pure chance.
But yeah, they wouldn’t have had time to even know they’d been bombed.

…betamax as a giant? They entered a format war, and died in their first few years of existance.
The others I get. Kodak was around almost 100 years, blockbuster nearly 40, both at one time the dominant leaders of their industries. Both fell to failing to adapt to change.
But betamax? It came out around the same time as vhs, and vhs was cheaper.
Same with 8-tracks and cassettes.

Ah yes, the dying media will be saved by the currency that doesn’t have widespread support.
This is linux style thinking. The whole “I see the advantage of this way, and maybe it even is a more efficient way of doing things, but without widespread support I’ll continue to be baffled by why others don’t see the world the way I do”.
