Never thought it could be the monitor. I have an HP dock with an HP laptop for work and it's totally unreliable waking from sleep.

My chances of getting new monitors are slim in this climate but it's a new avenue of investigation at least.

I stopped buying consoles after the PS3 and the PS Vita, with the exception of an Anbernic Cube XX.

Nowadays if I game at all it's PS1 and SNES classics on the Cube XX.

Sony actually allowed "OtherOS" until Geohot screwed it up for everybody and they locked it down.

I had this idea myself a few years back for less grubby, more subversive purposes. But, typical me, I never followed through with it.

For me, the Atari ST, the Commodore +/4, the Commodore 64 etc. I am saddened that the Dragon 32 never made it onto the silver screen.

She had me for the first 300 milliseconds. Very funny.

At work, yeah, fine I guess. Outside of work? No way. And I don't mind being called a Luddite, I know what I am.

Gattaca was such a good film.

I remember when Amazon did something similar with the kindle maybe a decade ago, I was livid. I vowed never to own a Kindle and bought a Kobo and installed Koreader on it.

I hear this today, and now I just shrug. I'm past caring and I hate that.

The OG live distro. This thing saved my butt on multiple occasions. I haven't even thought about it in a decade.

I feel a bit bad about that.

I don't think many people realize how far ahead the Archimedes was at the time.

I got to borrow one from school for the entire summer holidays - a friend and I manhandled the beast to my house - and I spent six glorious weeks with it.

I'd love to find one but I expect they're hard to find.

I disabled it last week - I'll just do stuff by hand. At least if I mess it up I know who to blame.

Please, stop using the word British for the English. Welshmen are not English, the English are not Scottish.

English politeness is not necessarily a feature of our Celtic brother and sister's national character.

I'm not a greenie by any stretch of the imagination but I'm a strong believer in Repair, Re-use, Recycle.

I'm writing this comment on a Lenovo Yoga I bought for $10 and fixed up. It's a quad core with 4GB of soldered RAM and a 128GB SSD but I slapped CachyOS on it and it works for nearly anything I want to do when I'm out and about. The battery lasts me about 3 1/2 hours. I've picked up CRT monitors for virtually nothing and they work just fine.

We throw things away too easily.

There's also a subreddit for international pen friends for adults. It jives with their fountain pen subreddit pretty well.

Gaming is more than viable on a Linux PC these days.

I'm using CachyOS with a PS2 controller or mouse and keyboard. I had to do virtually zero tinkering.
