It looks weird with 3 fake floppy drives. PCs usually only have one or two.

That's usually just a pin making bad contact with the socket due to oxidation. Reseating all of the tubes usually fixes it. If not, then it's probably a cracked solder joint.

If they move to Discord, nobody will ever be able to find the answers. They must use a website that is indexable by search engines or it will be pointless.

I hate thin laptops. The screens flex when you open them and feel like they are going to break and they don't have enough connectors.

Search engines need to start using AI detectors and drop the ranking way down when any significant portion of the page is AI generated.

Prebuilt, high end PCs are almost always a waste of money unless you need a bunch of them for a business. They are not hard to build yourself and it doesn't even take very long.

You can get industrial grade CF cards that use SLC memory. They have much better write endurance than normal CF cards.

The touchscreen on my laptop works without having to configure anything. Mine doesn't fold into a tablet, so I rarely use the touchscreen though.

I would suggest that you load Elementary OS or Ubuntu on a flash drive, boot it up and try it out. You don't have to install anything, it will run right from the flash drive. That's the best way to figure out if a distro works with your hardware.

It costs $1250 for something with terrible efficiency. You could buy an awful lot of batteries for that much money.

That would certainly make me request a refund and just pirate the game.

It probably just needs some more RAM installed.

The satellites will require large thermal radiators. That's the only way to get rid of heat in space.

 

I picked this little scope up from the Seapac swap meet a week and a half ago for $3. It turns out that all it needed was some contact cleaner to get it working again.

This is a portable scope that can run from 12V DC as well as an internal battery. I don't have the battery for it, but I could probably put some 18650's in there if I disable the built in charger.
