I’d get a new drive. Install a sane os and needed tools and use that. They should be cheap these days. Put the old one in a safe place in case you need something from it. When you find it years on and notice that there was nothing important there after all, recycle it. That’s a much safer approach.

And how many of those houses are mouldy, rotten, or otherwise non habitable?

It was not. 30 years ago, it would have been very good, though, as a lot of media was still SD.

Device, maybe. What happens to the games bought from a DRM monopoly?

I’ll mention organic maps and rimusic.

Could it cure their multiposting?

You can pick any. I guess the way is to just pick one based on it’s description or users or package availability or size and then learn to use it. And or try another one when you figure out if it has problems. Sick with the one you like the most. Or write your own.

It could work better because a web browser is the most bloated useless bug ridden insecure creeping horror ever invented.

Although I suspect this is just a web browser with some extra chrome.

Most Unix systems had it in CDE, 1993. Most also had it in whatever came before.

The first platform to implement multiple desktop display as a hardware feature was Amiga 1000, released in 1985.

The first implementation of virtual desktops for Unix was vtwm in 1990.

It had been the expected default for pretty much an entire decade. Also X often supported a different size viewport and desktop so the view would scroll. Not sure if anyone really liked using that.

Have you tried turning it off and on again?

I once had a hard drive of some particular vintage that wasn’t able to start. I did actually get it running with a hammer tap. Got the remains of data out and replaced the drive. It was nothing special, a Unix system drive with nothing that wasn’t on tape, but I just had to see if I could fix a hard drive with a hammer.

I also remember one admin who would often be seen walking between computer maintenance room and workshop wing with drives and a blacksmiths hammer labelled “format”.

NeXT is probably the pretty direct ancestor of osx dock. Only Apple turned it from good to bad by moving it to the bottom, where there is no space. And that only got worse as screens became wider, but not taller. And they made it overlap and obscure content and bounce around if you got near it making it extra obnoxious and hard to use.

Other docks existed even before, of course.

You could use some sort of caffeine as a workaround. I do since sleep locks don’t always work.

It’s Nvidia. That’s not going to change.

Here’s one nice list which also reflects the status of their usefulness. Physical availability varies widely, though.

I think it’s more like a door slam without a door.

This one does a lot of suggesting, though.

Nvidia user?
