we got the 2600 when i was nine (had the pong before that). it was still being played 30 years later. dunno what happened to it after mom died; she also had my old mattel handhelds, tabletop donkey kong and frogger, and a couple others. kinda wish i had them. have only played a couple consoles since (last was probably super mario on snes), but never owned any other than that atari. instead of consoles, i got into the z80, 8086/88, c64, apple for a short time, and then now pc. don’t have any of the old computers, they were stolen out of a storage garage years ago.

a trixie netinst iso says it needs 320mb to run the installer and that’s in lowmem mode where you have to pick and choose every installer component you want to load. and then it’ll still look like this:

12·7 days agoafaik there is no ‘standard’ for modular power supply cables. you have to make sure the ones you’re using are for the specific psu you’re using, and that can even vary between models from the same manufacturer.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•How come on The Price is Right you can't bid in change like 999.99 or for the jackoffs 1000.01? Or can you but has never been attempted?English
18·8 days agobid in whole dollars–and values of items bid on are also rounded to the nearest dollar, too. i think that’s just part of the rules. as far as i can remember, only a few of the pricing ‘games’ (and the big wheel, of course) had things in cents or dollars+cents.
the whole thing was advertisements for tootsie roll candies. so the name ‘fit’, i guess.
those are my sheets. wuts your dad doin’ here?

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Can I freeze already cooked burger patties?English
16·9 days agoyea, you can freeze it. i’d do something like 2 big or 4 juniors per sandwich bag, then put those bags into a couple larger gallon size bags. pull out one of the small bags at a time to thaw in the fridge.
back in the before times, when i could afford beef, i’d do 3-5 lbs at a time that way. now i just get 'em every now and then from my boss when they cook a few extra on the grill and she brings me a couple (home raised, the very good stuff). and yea, they’re often frozen when i get 'em from her, too.
i do always make sure i get the cooked frozen beef back up to temp.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Is this machine good enough to install QEMU considering that it runs on windows 10 ?English
23·9 days agoi see a ram upgrade in your future. 4gb is barely enough for win10 to boot and run a browser or something. will need more on top of that for what you’re gonna be running with qemu. other than that, as long as you have virtualization enabled, the rest is ‘good enough’
