    Replacing Windows 10 Gaming Laptop?

    bikeman25 replied to bikeman25's topic in Hardware Hangout

    Games that would be Played On the Laptop at times Would be SecondLife 64bit (probably would use that more on Laptop at times if a need arised that i wanted to be on the Secondary System) Wreckfest on occasion when not running it on Desktop Need For Speed Payback Police Simulator Patrol Officer Firefighter Simulator: The Squad Lawn Mower Simulator ((Plans is to evenly split the Games between Desktop PC and The Gaming Laptop as whatever new one i decide on should have enough specs to support the games versus current Gaming Laptop that is very hard to get open and upgrade the Ram, storage and battery)

    It aint. People wondering when the era of the Linux Desktop will come. IMO it's here already, I can get up and running most distros and running games much quicker than Windows. Performance is better for many now too (the forest with AMD). Memory usage is half.

    That is a valid point on cars but I guess my point was if want a IBM PC XT it's not that hard to obtain one or put one together.

    Ok, but tens of millions do, need to, or are required to.

    I'm excited to try this for a plex server, with RDP & Intel Arc driver support built in on top all of the new goodies.

    We got Teams from Windows 11, Teams Classic, New Teams. Don't forget there's also Outlook and New Outlook. Users accidentally switch to the new one and complain that nothing works because it's only a crappy webview with zero feature parity. Microsoft simply does terrible software now. Sounds like your IT people need to button things down

    True, but in that era 99% of home users really wouldn't have needed something like Unix anyway (and lets not forget Microsoft Xenix, before Evil Microsoft came out to play) Back then it was mainly gaming and BBSing for the PC world, and DOS saw some fun additions down the road.. audio cards, 3D accelerators (Gravis Ultrasound with dual Voodoo 2's for me back in that stage when Windows started coming around), etc etc. Couldn't get any of that in *Nix.

    This one was kinda rare if I remember right, much more likely to see something along the lines of PC-MOS or Concurrent-DOS.

Amazon stated that during Prime Day 2023, Prime members bought over 375 million items and saved a total of $2.5 billion.

    I really wish I'd hung onto the ubuntu CDs from the early days. Same with some AOL CDs, etc. Strange how things regarded as junk in their day give us the feels now...

    Meh, typical Bethesda hilarity. They'll fix it. Really REALLY wish this came with a new achievement stack though. (yes, I'm one of those people).

    Replaying FO4 on the machine it is meant to - Playstation 5. Technically flawless, 60fps on ultra at 1440p, bloody short load times and not a single crash until now. Thanks MS. Besides, the file size is 10GB smaller than on XSX.

    Microsoft and Estée Lauder team up to launch a new AI Innovation Lab by John Callaham Microsoft has just announced yet another collaboration with a company to help boost its generative AI services. Today, it revealed a partnership with the Estée Lauder Companies as an expansion on their current collaborations. In a press release, Microsoft announced that, together with Estée Lauder, it will launch a new AI Innovation Lab. It will be created with the help of Microsoft’s Azure OpenAI Service to assist Estée Lauder so it can improve upon and speed up its product development as well as marketing for its over 20 different beauty brands. The press release stated: ELC and Microsoft are applying generative AI tools in research and development for quicker product development, allowing scientists and product development specialists to respond to emerging product and ingredient trends more rapidly. In addition, the AI Innovation Lab has also created a custom chatbot for Estée Lauder. It will be able to access the company's extensive marketing data so that it can help its team members create and launch marketing campaigns faster than normal. Financial terms of this new partnership were not disclosed. This is just the latest collaboration between the two companies. In January 2023, Estée Lauder launched a Makeup Assistant mobile app that was designed to help visually impaired users put on makeup. The app used AI features provided by Microsoft's Azure AI services. The app is now available in the US, UK, and Ireland, and will expand to more markets in the near future. This is the third new AI-related partnership that Microsoft has announced just this week. It also revealed a collaboration with the service and consulting company Cognizant which will purchase 25,000 Microsoft 365 Copilot seats for its clients. Microsoft also announced a partnership this week with The Coca-Cola Company. It will spend $1.1 billion to use Microsoft's AI services over a five year period,

    The PS5 PS+ Extra version has been available since this morning for me, or it's now working for the Collection version, not sure how I can tell.

    At that time, I only ever got hand-me-down systems from others, which were few and far between. I went straight from DOS 3.0 to Windows 3.1 on my next computer. However, I was someone who loved to exit Windows 3.1 and play with the features of DOS 6.0. Something I found fascinating was a little GUI program called DOS-Shell, which I believe was introduced with DOS 4.0. At first glace, it just seemed like an early retention of File Manager/Explorer, but it also had the ability to launch programs, and a hotkey to switch back to DOS Shell. I don't think you could run multiple programs, but you could switch between a single program, the DOS Shell, and a command prompt, which for the time, was pretty impressive.

    I hear you on MS adding more and more anti-consumer elements to Windows, but DOS wasn't some glory era either. Compared to UNIX, which very much did exist at the time, DOS was a pathetic toy. It is the shortcomings of DOS that ultimately lead to a lot of the stability and security issues in early versions of Windows, and also why those versions didn't let you dig deep in the OS (no Task Manager as an example). Windows ME was the last OS built on DOS, and it was very long in the tooth by then. Windows NT was a great upgrade for businesses in the mid 90s, but it wasn't until XP that home users finally got an operating system with a decent Kernal. Of course, the counter argument to this is that consumer hardware at the time was very memory starved, and DOS' simplicity allowed for it to have a lower memory footprint. Even into the Windows era, the main reason why MS didn't push NT or 2000 as a consumer platform is because of the system requirements. At a time when 4 MB was standard on a Best Buy display model, NT 4.0 Workstation required 16 MB. So while I agree that DOS was a necessary stepping stone to make consumer computers affordable, I definitely wouldn't point to it as an example of good software...only good enough software. Since when did Microsoft acquire the Commodore Kernal?
