PuTTY appears to have accidentally dropped Windows 95 support as a side effect of adding 64-bit Windows support in version 0.68 I was using it for SFTP a little on the HP Vectra 486/33N that I was setting up to run an HP-IB emulator before I got Samba on NetBSD working with Win95 I still haven’t gotten the HP-IB emulator working, but that doesn’t matter now that I have a fancy SCSI card for my A400 and can just boot

I don't do 100 APM or whatever so it's not going to be helpful to have two screens.

Powerful Two-Hander posted:lightscribe or whatever that thing was that let you burn labels on the top of a disc, I remember thinking that was the coolest thing I'm honestly bummed they don't make Lightscribe drives anymore. There were like 3 competing standards, and they're all discontinued. If I'd known, I'd have saved my old laptop's Lightscribe drive, and would presently be trying to get it to work in some external enclosure.

everyone always hating on sony and their dumb proprietary flash memory formats, but what about olympus's XD format? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XD-Picture_Card quote:The xD in the xD-Picture Card stands for eXtreme Digital.

xd is basically a NAND chip in a little package. there were people who removed their xbox 360 nand chip and soldered in an xd slot so they could swap their firmwares easily

Unfortunately we have that again now with XQD and CFExpress cards, which are mechanically and electrically compatible but use different communication protocols.

and then after all the memory stick formats failed completely, in 2012 when microsd was already the clear winner, sony chose for the ps vita... a completely proprietary memory card not used by anything before or since out loving standing

I once witnessed at a GameStop - a crying boy clutching a memory stick to his vita begging to get it while his mother was berating the worker ‘why does he need this if he can play the game right now?! what does memory do?’ look the game works just fine without it.’ kid crying, ‘I can’t :deep breath: save my game :deep breath: MomMMAaa please!!!’ I felt for that kid.

KOTEX GOD OF BLOOD posted:to this day hddvd winning was the wrongest tech call ive made but at the same time the one that in retrospect seemed most right at the time given the context I believed in hddvd too until the 360 drive came out. It was external USB and iirc it sucked. Microsoft pretty much sealed the deal there.
