Around 20 years ago I started our cities first house doctor computer service. People were in an extreme state of paranoia even letting me use their PC, thinking I was going to steal all their banking information and do all kinds of evil stuff.
Now people are like hey smiling graphic on the screen and this thing says it’s going to help me okay I’ll just give it access to everything

I bought this for $20 and just sold it today for $160
Works perfectly
Enjoy your feeling of smugness lol

Pro tip: Buy great laptops on Marketplace, use Rufus to make an ISO which bypasses the RAM and TPM requirements and lets you make a local account, install Win11 and resell for 2x what you paid
I’ve been rolling in cash with this for the past month
E oh you guys don’t like that lmao 😂😂😂 too bad for you, most people still want windows, I’m there to capitalize on it!!
Thank you. I lived through the “Macs can’t get viruses” bullshit. Try being a teacher in a school with 200 Macs and find out how real that claim is. Yeeeeesh lol… two weeks after fresh imaging and new semester starting 50% of the machines would be completely b0rked
Tormentor from Tormentor❌Punisher!
I have 400+ hours and was HardMode #2WR until I the students I tutored defeated me lol
In my opinion, it’s the best twin stick shooter ever made. Hugely discoverable mechanics, completely skill-based, and a nearly infinite skill ceiling.

What was that one where you were a little cute yellow walking bird and you jumped on these primarily vertical fanciful maps, and you rode in little balloons and stuff you jumped in?
E: it was New Zealand Story!
Something dragon! Red dragon?

Yes I cannot remember all the specifics either, but there was finite resources, and you could only accomplish so much per day and it gave you incentive to keep coming back
Found it! Legend of the Red dragon

You are talking a lot of philosophical stuff, but the reality was when you wanted to get the low level hardware, there was very little documentation. Even banks of the technical documents had giant blanks saying these are a bunch of video registers and interrupts, basically good luck lol
I don’t sense that you have any actual experience programming on that platform, because if you did you’d know what I’m saying
My assumption was it had something to do with luminosity, but I’m at the end of my technical expertise for this implementation of insane technology lol
I’m not suggesting it as a solution as you can see from my original text, it’s just a fun fact.
For those who care… Often unplugging your modem for 24h will refresh your IP
E you people are angry and weird and not that bright actually
I’m going to actually you lol
The reason it works better with CRT is because of the phosphors. They continue to glow, long after the signal has passed over. Check out a CRT slow motion.
Everything to do with display technology involves tricking the eye and relying on persistence of vision which is innate.
It works and you can create a local account only
