i miss this place

I just used a goto. I feel dirty.

Guys did you know that you can do this?

@barlop I'm still a huge VGA user. I have a bunch of displays around that only accept VGA and a bunch of machines that only output to VGA.

So nostalgic

Man I'd totally forgotten the ping sound of this chatroom

@MiG ¯\_ (ツ)_/¯

@MiG Nope :)

@forest You're missing some context, but the chats weren't on my sister's laptop, they were on this old windows 8 machine I'm refurbing

and my mp3 collection!!

hehe i found chats with my girlfriend from tenth grade lmao

yep

So will the pro 6, but it doesn't have type-c, so you need to get a third party type-c --> surface connector cable, which is also pretty expensive

Pro 6

It seems, idk, less power user friendly

It has windows 11, and while it's not all bad, I don't really like it much

I've been using my sister's laptop as my daily driver because my surface charger stopped working and a new one is too expensive for me to get rn

holy shit why can't MS just take us back to this???????????]

Unfortunately won't be supported by MS anymore in a few months :(

...now I'm seriously wondering if I want to run win8 + classic start on my main machine

And we all know that's when windows peaked

It's basically mostly just like win7 other than the start menu

Huh, weirdly, other than the start menu windows 8.1 seems... much cleaner than win11?

I did have to do a chkdhk from hirens to get it to work

Okay this machine runs surprisingly VERY smoothly considering that it's on an HDD

Remember when chrome used to look like this???

Chrome on this is so old that it can't run element

So I broke into the PC

someone get element to implement it ugh

oh man, I've missed the starwall

@bertieb hahaha

@Shalvenay Ah, okay, thanks. Seems like it's a bit tough to get here in my country but I'll figure something out.

@Shalvenay Thank you. This kind?

Any suggestions will be much appreciated, the cold and electricity bill are killing me

Maybe I can tape some foam (?) onto the door, or perhaps get one of those suction cup curtain rods and hang up a thick curtain?

Is there anything I can do to help trap the heat in? Needs to be a temporary undo-able thing since this is a rented place.

Doesn't help that the bedroom also has a huge glass window

My understanding is that this could be one of the reasons why my space heater isn't super effective at heating the room, even at the highest setting (spits out very hot air but the room just doesn't seem to get warmer)

My bedroom is separated from the living room by a half-inch (?) thick sliding glass door

Hello folks!

@JourneymanGeek wise words

@JsupportsPalestine pissed geek or angry geek I can picture (the former I've seen a few times), mad geek is pretty hard to imagine yeah, lol

@A.Hersean oh, along those lines, I've had people be "you're not crying = you aren't really upset = you don't care enough"

Possibly, yeah

:)

Yeah...

Nothing comes to mind straightaway

@JsupportsPalestine Now I'm trying to remember if I've ever witnessed @jou mad over the years
