Pro tip: Buy great laptops on Marketplace, use Rufus to make an ISO which bypasses the RAM and TPM requirements and lets you make a local account, install Win11 and resell for 2x what you paid

I’ve been rolling in cash with this for the past month

E oh you guys don’t like that lmao 😂😂😂 too bad for you, most people still want windows, I’m there to capitalize on it!!

Thank you. I lived through the “Macs can’t get viruses” bullshit. Try being a teacher in a school with 200 Macs and find out how real that claim is. Yeeeeesh lol… two weeks after fresh imaging and new semester starting 50% of the machines would be completely b0rked

You are talking a lot of philosophical stuff, but the reality was when you wanted to get the low level hardware, there was very little documentation. Even banks of the technical documents had giant blanks saying these are a bunch of video registers and interrupts, basically good luck lol

I don’t sense that you have any actual experience programming on that platform, because if you did you’d know what I’m saying

My assumption was it had something to do with luminosity, but I’m at the end of my technical expertise for this implementation of insane technology lol

I’m going to actually you lol

The reason it works better with CRT is because of the phosphors. They continue to glow, long after the signal has passed over. Check out a CRT slow motion.

Everything to do with display technology involves tricking the eye and relying on persistence of vision which is innate.

Straight answer, I don’t know lol

Backlit through window

Toplit by LED lamp

There is no way that the pictures I’ve snapped can produce the colors accurately. When I look at that small section, it reflects forest green light back to my eye. The light that passes through seems to be muddy yellowish

I could also see DLP being applied in new QM research… lasers are being increasingly used to trap and manipulate atomic nuclei

You are totally remembering correctly! I recall this as well, but the hype died out quickly.

Oh my beloved C64! I made my first “real” games with it, my buddies were artistic and made the music, sprites, animations, etc. I programmed the tools to make them!

The worst aspect of the C64 was that the hardware was a mostly undocumented mystery zone. As an early teen, I had the C64 programmer’s reference manual checked out of our library for 2 years!!! Doing any kind of advanced graphics meat PEEKing and POKEing random addresses and registers and interrupts to see what would happen. A nightmare! My hat’s off to all the demo scene folks that did ludicrous stuff

edit: My first released game was “Studmaster” replete with every horrible thing your mind is currently imaging lmao. I’m not proud of this now but it was pretty wild for two 14 year old kids in the 80’s to make a small-scale text/graphic adventure game and publish it

I’m so happy you noticed, the colors cannot be reproduced in a digital photo, when it shines in the sun it’s so beautiful!

BBS ARE THE WEB GUYS

It sounds insane, but the array that drives it is functionally not that different from the array that individually causes LCD crystals to shift.

I have DLP parts sitting around because they’re cool.

Edit pics:

Edit2 explanation: A white light is focused onto the DLP mirror chip through a kind of kaleidoscopic lens, I’ll spare you the details on that. The individual microscopic mirrors are aligned with charges to bounce light. The mirror array pulses synced frames through the spinning color wheel to create a composite image. It’s a fucking insane idea that barely works… and people like me, with low persistence of vision, are not fooled very well and we see color banding and all kinds of weird artifacting lol

Bingo!

I feel your pain, but meanwhile I’m laughing. No backups, no fire suppression system, what the fuck are these clowns doing.

I recommend people use lye-based cleaners and put them in the dishwasher in a whim.

You can throw a cast iron pan off a fucking roof, leave it in a wet ditch for 2 years, it won’t be harmed.

Quarter teaspoon of oil rubbed in, be back to cooking.

Change the numbers to rubber balls with pictures of ducks or trains and different iconography. You can now intuit that both sets are the same size.

1 way speed of light video.

Warning, you will be much stupider after watching it.

I read it as ideations, behavior (s), etc
