The deal will be great for now, while they lure you in and get you to drop the competition -- then they will raise prices later.

Yeah, there are times where DDG has like, literally three results. Yet, I know for an absolute fact, there are hundreds of pages on the web that contain the terms I specified. Web …

I think this was the one we were playing: https://archive.org/details/qtest Good times :D

K what I actually had no clue about the "single config line change to sync from my own server", that's awesome. I have a Clara BW and I really like it. Super affordable (got it on …

Yeah, I used also used a Voodoo2 in my Mac (PowerComputing PowerTower Pro), but it was from a PC. The driver for it was very crash-prone, BUT, Unreal Tournament and Quake looked fr…

hell yeah, my first real LAN game experience on Windows was the Quake test/alpha that preceded the release of the game (IIRC?), when I was at a local tech school for a class. We we…

Well, yeah as much as we missed out on so many games, the ones we did get were often better quality .. I still have this distinct memory of visiting my friend who ran DOS, and his …

Just adding a post to correlate with what VonGuard wrote (but for some reason got downvoted into oblivion) , apparently there was a Mac port of Half-life nearly completed but cance…

Oh dang, I never played that game but that looks amazing. Especially for .. 1986?! Wow. I never had an Amiga growing up so I missed out on all those classics, and even trying to ca…

Oh yeah, I remember being blown away any time I found a Mac game in a store. Usually they just had some edutainment/shovelware stuff at best, though.

Yeah, I pretty often think of how much we're using today that totally could have been done in the 90's (or earlier), just in a slightly more primitive form (which in many cases wou…

Ah yeah, the same kind of thing happened to me. I saved up enough money to buy WarCraft 1 from the store, only to find out it required a 640x480 monitor -- I had a Macintosh LC wit…

Nice, I'm surprised it took this long! My first experience of playing Quake 1 in my home was an unauthorized source port which ran in System 7, I believe was called "HackQuake", po…

Looks pretty cool, though kinda "cheating" by pulling from adsb.fi - though I think you'd need something a lot more powerful than an ESP32 to receive and decode ADS-B ;)

Try using Firefox with "resist fingerprinting" enabled, on OpenBSD, if you want an idea of how insidious Cloudflare's increasing prevalence is for the openness of the web. Inexplic…

> Why would a surgeon know anything about anesthesia risk? Idunno, maybe because their entire career is performing surgeries which include anaesthesia and they have worked for pote…

There's also APsystems EZ1, not sure when that was released, but seemingly recently: https://usa.apsystems.com/ez1-consumers/

Nice. The only opening line I remember offhand is from Neuromancer (which I'm glad to see is included in the site!) "The sky above the port was the color of television, tuned to a …

Amazon URL contains "tag=aphackernews-20" query param after following the shortened URL... does Hacker News rewrite Amazon links to include a Hacker News referral tag?! Here's the …

Daaaaamn: "GhostLock was introduced in Linux 2.6.39 and fixed in Linux 7.1."

| .. was trying to think of a way to somehow incorporate "k-rad" but couldn't figure anything out haha ( https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=k-rad )

Just used it the other day while I was back-country hiking. Set some markers for some landmarks and calculated hiking distance/duration between them. CoMaps is awesome! It's also t…

Right, that was a rhetorical question, highlighting the fact that such an occurrence is even possible, to such a degree of incidence that I know multiple people who have experience…

Coincidentally just had this realization last night. Leaned a piece of furniture against the wall, realized the ~perfectly straight/level edge didn't lean smoothly against the wall…

Completely agreed. Even for people who are like "I have nothing to hide", the only people who think this way are simply unaware of just how much harm can come to them without the p…
