The Jelly Star will even get an Android 16 update this month, after staying on Android 13 for ages. Unihertz got pressure from the competition. :)

I don’t see any ads on the paid version here.

True, but it also didn’t help that Microsoft set really low system specs for “Windows Vista Ready”. So we had a lot of computers with an official Vista badge that weren’t really capable of running it well.

The specs to earn that badge were 512MB of RAM and an 800MHz processor, which was absolutely not enough for it.

That’s hilarious! :D A friend of mine bought a Sony Vaio laptop back then which had a 64bit CPU, but only 32bit drivers. Not even XP, only Vista, so you couldn’t even downgrade.

Deepwater Horizon sinking in the Gulf of Mexico on April 22, 2010.

It caused an equivalent oil spill of 4.9 million barrels and exposed the surrounding wildlife to toxic materials, covering thousands of animals in oil. The cleanup efforts took years.

A prime example of humans messing up this planet for their own gains.

Windows Vista also needed more than 1GB and some manufacturers still sold their subpar devices with it. Some things never change.

Common within a very small niche.

I’d wager a lot of people from that small niche are registered on the Fediverse, though.

digikam, it’s a really great alternative to Adobe Lightroom.

But it is kinda funny a propaganda post gets titled “So easily fooled”. How ironic.

I stay off the internet more and only try to read terrible news about the world once a week. There’s always a war somewhere on the world that I can’t do anything about, so I don’t have to read about it every day.

I also bought an eBook-Reader without WiFi and I started reading books again.

It’s good.

struthless’ video about suicide was absolutely amazing.

The BIOS on some old Thinkpads has a bird flapping its wings as a mouse cursor.

My 560X from 1998 has one of those BIOSes, too.

Oh, absolutely! I loved Aero on Windows Vista and 7. :)

Hell yeah, the PS2 has an insanely large library of games!

And no AI features.

Best we can do is Liquid Ass.

Yes! :) I have dualboot with 98SE on this machine (the eGPU is pretty terrible to use on Windows 98).

VFX, not SFX. In our company, the team shoots real-life videos and then puts effects on top. The most recent project I saw was a movie for a manufacturer of paper colors. The artists made a big tower in one of their factories explode into a wave of paint, it looked pretty (but it was only a few seconds long).

All of those screens have a CCFL, it’s basically a miniature version of of those old tube lights. If that one reaches its end of life it gets dim and yellow and needs to be replaced.

The A22p also accepts the IPS displays from an A31p. I modded mine with one of those, so now I have a Windows 98 notebook with an especially beautiful display. 🥰

I’m still rocking an A22p! It was my first notebook in 2003. People went mad when I brought it to school because of the 1600x1200 screen. I used its S-Video output so the whole class was able to watch movies on an external CRT TV. :D

There’s even a docking station with eGPU support - before it was cool!
