There is a TSR now for DOS that emulates Sound Blaster on some Intel audio chipsets.
This is correct. I was more referring to software that runs on DOS, but didn’t specify that.
No, but even modern GPUs can run in BIOS and VESA compatibility modes without drivers, which DOS does support. You just won’t be able to use hardware 3D rendering.
I don’t believe you.

It is a funny U in English, which is the only language that matters.
Yes, i’m American. How could you tell?
What about chewing?
I thought only people who subscribed to CrowdStrike’s services had that driver installed.
Same thing would happen on Linux if someone wrote a bad kernel module and integrated it into the OS. In fact, Crowdstrike did have a similar problem a few months ago on Linux.
I’m no fan of Microsoft, but this isn’t their fault.
Careful with that. You might start a paradox.
Absolutely. The Steam Deck is a gaming PC, but handheld. The iGPU in the Deck is approximately equivilent to an RX 580, for reference.
Macaroni because I have an unhealthy obsession with cheese.
He’s FBI agent Dale Cooper from real life.
Kind of. The NES also used cell-based graphics and reusable tilemaps, which I think the 8 bit guy made a video about.
The NES has a picture processor (PPU) that has special things made for 2D, cell (tile)-based graphics with hardware sprites. Being able to reuse tiles and express each tile with a few bytes really helps keep things small, as storage was very expensive back then. Also, without bank switching (which SMB1 did not have), the 6502 could only address up to 64kb of memory (including ROM and RAM).
The music was also kept small, as it was generated in real time by the audio processor that was embedded in the CPU.
I’m sure there’s a disassembly out there along with some YouTube videos if you want to understand a bit more. IMO programming for these old systems is more fun compared to modern systems, which in comparison, have no limitations. It is a boon to creativity.

IDK what they were thinking with the Stonehenge stunt.
I wouldn’t put it past Big Oil to infiltrate climate activist groups to make them appear unlikable. Same with throwing paint on a painting.
Good to hear. Luckilly, the app still works.
Would be nice if there was more than one maintainer, though.
Or the American healthcare industry.
Ah. Makes sense. The early days of emulators were something I really enjoyed. One of the reasons I even got into computers was ZSNES (although glitching Pokemon 1st gen was another)
The ending definitely made my jaw drop for an extended period of time.
It’s also just a beautiful movie
