From what I understand, the show treated him a lot better than his parents did.

1·4 months agoThe Lynx version is the original, from which all others were ported. The Amiga version is particularly good.
CRT removal is a hate crime. There’s nothing special about this. Just an unimaginative casemod.

2·9 months agoThis was an excuse to allow Voyager to use the holodeck, which would have been an extravagant waste of power otherwise.
The Enterprise D holodeck ran from ships power, as shown in “Booby Trap”.

retrocomputing@lemmy.sdf.org•Let's talk about the curious and ingenious DriveSpace, an MS-DOS program promising to double the available disk space.
9·2 years agoThis is a common misconception, and it’s funny that people still believe it all these years later.
While it’s true that Windows 95 relied on MS-DOS for bootstrapping and provided a DOS-like interface for running legacy applications, it wasn’t “just a shell” on top of DOS. Windows 95 introduced a 32-bit multitasking environment, a completely new user interface, and a separate set of APIs for software development (Win32). It had its own kernel that provided services like memory management and hardware abstraction, separate from DOS.
The integration with DOS was mainly for backward compatibility, allowing users to run older software. But once you were in the Windows 95 environment, DOS was essentially sidelined, and Windows 95’s own features and architecture took over.


I don’t know why you asked if you’ve clearly already decided what the answer is.
