wierd_w Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 Aside from large avatars, most of the page is bog standard HTML. that's probably why. There's way too much emphasis on "MULTIMEDIA EVERYTHINGS!!" these days. (Believes modern UX/UI people need to be drug out behind a barn, and horse-whipped.)

I am connecting at 33.6kbps and for testing routes and DNS I decided to load a few web pages. AtariAge loads impressively quick on a 33.6k connection We can fix that issue if it's too fast lol Edited September 10, 2020 by GDMike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus so many more. Long-lived and versatile actor. Unbelievably (even for myself), I just watched "Escape from New York" the first time (on Amazon Prime). Good old 80s action. No three-/four-fold twisted plot. No attempt to save the Earth or nearby celestial bodies. No elaboration on the difficult ways of life for left-handed, color-blind, denture wearers, and 6-toed people. Just plain action. Really enjoyed it. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might want to give it a shot too. If you do not belong to Netflix, you can always try the 30 day free trial. ? I enjoyed watching it, but I think the importance of technology advancement for game development should have been more clearly stated. I didn't like the intermezzos of pseudo pixel graphics and would rather have seen more footage of the actual games. But it's great that Netflix choose to do a series on a topic like that.

Omega-TI Posted September 17, 2020 Author Share Posted September 17, 2020 I found something cool! Ever since I got rid of my inkjet printer, I've been unable to do waterslide decals, HOWEVER I found that they make them for laser printers as well. These could come in real handy for TI-related projects. You can << check them out here >>, but be sure to watch the video! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+mizapf Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 According to IEC, the prefixes were modified to include an "i" for 1024 bases. Ki = 1024 Mi = 1024^2 Gi = 1024^3 hence 10 KiB = 10240 byte This makes it unambiguous when bandwidth numbers are given with 10-base: 100 Mbps = 100 000 000 bps I found this Ki stuff weird at the beginning, but have adopted it fully, and feel really comfortable with it now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+OLD CS1 Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 Could I suppose someone here has one single 150ohm 16-pin DIP package for floppy drive termination? I have an IBM drive that will not read, and I suspect the missing termination package is the problem -- but I cannot order them anywhere in reasonable quantities. Yeah, I can get them for like $20 for 50, but WT* am I going to do with the extra 49? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
