PC/PC/Turbo Grafix 16 or Turbo Duo

Ys and Bonks Revenge were two of the funnest games ever.

P.S. The Commodore 64 was ahead of its time and I personally loved having it around as well. Just not enough to pass up the only good console systems NEC (with some Hudson Soft employees) put out in the late '80s through the early '90s.

PC/Xbox/Other (Sega Gamegear)

Gamegear is just, you know, amazing. Got one, sure, it's kinda bulky, but the games and graphics were world beating. Plus, you could use it to kill people, just a well aimed blow to the neck and *thud*

For some reason that reminds me of a CAD comic :|

PC/PS2/SNES

PC had too many good titles coming this gen to ignore, not to mention nearly every 360 game is ported over to PC eventually. PS2 was the undisputed king of last gen, 110 million owners can't be wrong. SNES is the ultimate classic console imo, best for 2D rpg's, platformers and had some great 2D fighters as well.

360 or PC/PC/N64:))

thats basically what i voted for;)) ... although i ended up choosing PC/PC/N64. (cause at time N64 came out (1996, which is when i got mine in the very first batches), the PC was JUST starting to get good in terms of it's graphics (Quake/Tomb Raider in OpenGL mode) (Voodoo 1 graphics cards, which made it look better than ANYTHING out at the time)). so thats why i choose N64 over PC in that generation pretty much.... cause overall at that time i think consoles where better in most things.

but if you ask me the poll should have been sorted better cause the way it's listed currently is sorta messed up.

i would have made a "all-time favorite" from anything out today to anything out in the past (basically pc/ms/sony/nintedo/sega/atari etc etc). then i would have made one for "current gen consoles" (i.e. ps2/xbox/gamecube etc) and then "next-gen consoles" (i.e. XBox360/PS3/Wii etc) and then even a category for "old school systems" (aka anything prior to the psone/n64 generation, in other words the 2D era)

so based on what i just said above, i would choose...All Time = PC

Next-Gen (consoles only) = XBox360

Current Gen (consoles only) = XBox

Previous Gen (consoles only) = N64 (alot of people would choose ps1 over this but i choose it since i grew up on it back in the day;)))

Old School (prior to psone/n64, in other words the 2D consoles) = NES (even though SNES/Genesis where technically better overall, the NES deserves alot of praise since it sorta saved the video game business back in the day AND it was one of my childhood consoles)>

i think people should list there ages (im 28 years old) to as that will most likely determine what they "might" vote for;)) ... cause i figure the younger crowd nowadays (say mid teens ish) will probably not even remember the old school systems like NES etc... so theres no chance they would vote for a old school system as there best of all time sorta thing.

i think you guys get the point;))

      As I've been usually saying lately - we all can thank "AI" for this.
    • Windows 11 version 26H2 is now available for testing in the latest preview build

      By +TRS-80 · Posted

      Friday Windows 11 preview builds are here. Insiders in the Experimental (formerly Dev) and Beta Channel can download builds 26300.8697 and 26220.8690. My Windows11 device on the Preview Channel just got 26220.8728. My guess is this build is a nightly update from 26220.8690.
    • Traffic has a surprisingly unexpected impact on your surroundings

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Traffic has a surprisingly unexpected impact on your surroundings by Sayan Sen Image by Radik 2707 via Pexels A collaborative study by researchers from several Israeli institutions found that everyday pollution from traffic and industrial activity measurably changed the atmospheric electric field over the Tel Aviv metropolitan area, providing new evidence of how human activity can influence the lower atmosphere. The research was led by Dr. Roy Yaniv of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and the Gertner Institute at Sheba Medical Center, Dr. Assaf Hochman of the Fredy & Nadine Herrmann Institute of Earth Sciences at the Hebrew University, and Prof. Yoav Yair of Reichman University. The study also involved Itay Froomer, a student from Hadera High School and the Israeli Museum of Medicine and Science (Technoda), who carried out the work as part of the Ministry of Education's 5-unit physics research track. The researchers focused on the atmospheric electric field under fair-weather conditions. Even in the absence of storms, a weak electric field naturally exists between Earth's surface and the atmosphere. One of the main ways scientists measure this field is through the Potential Gradient (PG), which is the inverse of the vertical component of the electric field. PG is a key part of the global electric circuit, a planet-wide system of electrical currents maintained by thunderstorms and electrified clouds around the world. Scientists have long known that the atmospheric electric field can be influenced by factors ranging from large-scale atmospheric processes to local weather conditions such as dust, fog and clouds. Human-made pollution is also known to play a role, but understanding exactly how urban emissions affect the electric field close to the ground has remained an area of ongoing research. To investigate this relationship, the team analyzed measurements from a newly installed electric field mill, an instrument used to continuously monitor the strength of the atmospheric electric field. The instrument was installed at the Center for Technological Education (Roter House) in Holon and became operational in August 2024. It was funded by Israel's Ministry of Education and the Holon municipality. The electric field mill forms part of a broader monitoring network that includes nearby meteorological stations and air-quality monitoring sites. This allowed researchers to compare electric field measurements with detailed weather data and pollution records to better understand what was driving changes in the Potential Gradient. The study focused on two major urban pollutants: fine particulate matter (PM2.5) and nitrogen oxides (NOx), both commonly produced by vehicle traffic and industrial activity. PM2.5 refers to microscopic airborne particles small enough to remain suspended in the atmosphere for extended periods, while NOx is a group of gases released during fuel combustion. Researchers examined daily, weekly and seasonal patterns in the atmospheric electric field and compared them with changes in pollutant concentrations. Their analysis revealed a clear relationship between NOx levels and changes in the Potential Gradient, particularly during morning and evening rush hours when traffic emissions were at their highest. “What we observe is a direct physical link between emission peaks and electrical variability,” explained Dr. Roy Yaniv. “NOx reduces atmospheric conductivity very quickly, so the electric field responds almost instantaneously during traffic rush hours.” Atmospheric conductivity describes how easily electrical charges move through the air. According to the researchers, nitrogen oxides rapidly alter this conductivity, causing a near-immediate response in the electric field. PM2.5, however, was associated with a delayed response. The researchers attributed this difference to the particles' longer atmospheric residence time, meaning they remain in the atmosphere for longer periods, as well as their different microphysical interactions with surrounding air and atmospheric components. The study also identified a pronounced "weekend effect." In Israel, traffic volumes and some industrial activity decline significantly on Fridays and Saturdays. During these periods, concentrations of both NOx and PM2.5 dropped, and corresponding changes were observed in the atmospheric electric field. “The weekend signal demonstrates just how sensitive the electric field is to changes in human activity,” the researchers noted. “When emissions decline, the electrical environment adjusts at once, providing a high-resolution indicator of urban atmospheric conditions.” The findings showed that pollution levels can influence not only the chemical composition of the atmosphere but also its electrical properties. Researchers said the results strengthened the case for using atmospheric electricity as an additional tool for environmental monitoring, particularly in densely populated urban areas where anthropogenic, or human-caused, influences are most pronounced. The study also pointed to potential public health applications. By combining air-quality measurements with observations of atmospheric electricity, researchers said they could gain a more complete picture of how urban atmospheric conditions change over time. “Integrating air-quality data with electric-field measurements gives us a clearer picture of how the lower atmosphere evolves moment by moment,” the researchers added. “It’s a framework that can support both scientific insight and practical environmental decision-making.” Beyond the scientific findings, the project highlighted a collaboration between universities, public institutions and secondary education. Researchers said the work demonstrated how students could take part in real-world environmental research while contributing to studies of air quality, atmospheric processes and their potential effects on society.

    • Microsoft confirms Windows 11 26H2, urges IT admins to prepare for release

      By +TRS-80 · Posted

      We aren't even at the all-star game and Microsoft is talking about an update that will most likely be released during the World Series if not after. A lot can happen in the world between now and the 2026 World Series, including the 2026 FIFA Cup. Tell me about it again after the FIFA Cup is concluded. That should allow plenty of time to prepare for it.
