If it was different, I just played with no sound. 6 year old me hadn’t actually grasped how expansion cards for x86 microcontrollers were implemented

Sound blaster compatible, irq5, dma1

The magic config to make sound work in DOS games

Lots of places have SRE now, thanks to Google. Like I said, google thing leaked to mainstream

Oh, I don’t care about Windows that much to bother googling things like that.

It lives in a VM so I can run CAD software like LayOut which I use very infrequently.

I’ve also got a windows partition lying around that gets booted into once per year incase I go to a LAN party, but Steam / Proton has really come a long way so I can probably drop that soon

It’s like it’s “expats” when UK citizens enter your country and “immigrants” if anyone else does

It’s why horses are measured by hands

Being able to uninstall OneDrive is a game changer. That thing annoys me so much

I don’t know if YouTube died per se, but it certainly became enshittified.
