Re: LOLPRICE

Nice little collection there! Put it on eBay for £2k. :lol: I don't have any original media or paperwork to with mine. I got it back in the early 2000s for next to nothing, and just burnt a CDR to install the OS. I last powered it up a few months ago, and it was still working fine, even the original...

Re: LOLPRICE

I mean the Be case is unusual for sure, but I expect internally it's just a PC and nothing special. I still have a boxed copy of BeOS from BITD. It's not "just a PC", because it is a fully unique dual processor PowerPC architecture, so it certainly has collector value. I've got a dual-66 ...

Seems to be in pretty good shape, with a decent collection of swag, but come on.

Bonus: Item description reads as if it was written by Sotheby's.

Glad I'm not the only one who found the logo to be too-near-identical to that one.

Re: My summer project: A colour Stacy

Sounds like [they think] you haven't told them the model number for the panel.

Re: My summer project: A colour Stacy

Okay, I ordered this model and the board from AliExpress. They sent me a message (on their site) asking about what LCD model/number it was replacing and if they didn't hear anything back from me, they would program it for 1280x800 resolution. I wasn't asked about resolution, just about what panel I...

Re: Some interesting thoughts on VR

I'm a bit more into VR than the average fan. I started with the HTC Vive, then moved to the PiMax 8KX , and I've preordered a Bigscreen Beyond , which I'm very excited about, but don't expect to receive until the end of the year. I get that VR is a niche market, and that unfortunately it's dominated...

How many of your outlets are switched from the wall? I'm guessing not many.

The switch on UK outlets doesn't replace wall switches. It's just an additional feature.
