Thanks, and yes it was

Basic on commodore or turbo pascal on the icon, my first programming languages. Just started learning C++, shoulda started this 30 years ago

Another round of layoffs incoming

The force will be with you, always

That looks like it, ty

Didn’t someone attempt to increase the storage of CDs by a similar multi layer tactic, tho not as dense, using different colour lasers to etch each layer? iirc it was just before or just as dvds came out

Mine doesn’t meet 1 req for win 11, I refuse to go into the bios and turn it on

I love the Gnome DE, used it years ago. You are correct, KDE (+Wayland) is better for the gaming side and more like a windows interface, it also got further into my VR setup than Gnome (X11 or Wayland) would let me, switched to Kubuntu from Ubuntu. One day I will get back to the setup (before W10 EoL) but I have forgotten so much in the last 10 years :(

Oh, the memories… but we were paying a slight copyright fee on every blank disk and tape purchased in those days, regardless of use.

I think I’ll try using OBS to capture a video tonight, granted its quality will be tied to the output but it requires no additional hardware. Then edit in DaVinci to get rid of the obvious mistakes i’ll make. I only have a 4070 ti super tho

Of course it will come back, soon as Win10 EoL

The last burnt CDs were in 2k2, I just kept em on their spindles on my bottom shelf (not protected any more than that thru hot and cold) and all but 15ish were toast. Might have gotten lucky

I always bought the cheapest discs for backing up my media and out of maybe 1000 disks, checked last year, only 15 or so were either partly or completely unreadable

Is it easier to use than Gimp?

Ya got me on the atheist and firefox thing

I am looking to move to linux, again, due to ALL the amazing work Steam is putting into gaming on linux. Much of my flat game library works on the test laptop, my streaming software has linux native install. The 1 issue holding me back at this point is my OG Vive screens not turning on, tho the laptop monitor shows my VR environment. Once I get over that hurdle my days of windows will be almost over.
