Technology@lemmy.world•The ASUS Eee PC and the netbook revolutionEnglish
7·3 years agoI had used computers back since I was a kid in the 90s with my families 95 then 98 machine, and finally XP. But MY first computer and introduction to tinkering with software was an EEE pc 1005HAB. Atom processor, 2gb ram, and WiFi. I loved the thing. Best of all, I discovered it had compatibility (but not power) to run TF2 on it, which was so much better on PC than console. I spent hours finding ways to overclock it, mod the game to be as lightweight as possible, and eventually was able to play a game at a solid 30 fps so long as I played on the smallest map and used models that were only 50 polygons each. I installed Linux for the first time too, and so of course the next logical step was building my own pc. The rest is history I suppose…

Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ@lemmy.dbzer0.com•Disney Raises Prices for Streaming Services by as Much as 27% - Lemmy.worldEnglish
28·3 years agoLooks like I’m going to finally cut my subscriptions and move my family into using selfhosted sources that I supply from the high seas. This shit is ridiculous.
Back in my college days, I first used a T60 (not ultrabook) then moved to an x220 (nearing ultrabook). The X220 was perfect, removable battery, all day battery, good build quality, perfect for linux. I rocked mint with DWM for the 2nd half of my uni days.

Explain Like I'm Five@lemmy.world•ELI5: How are touch screens and computers in modern cars able to withstand the elements like extreme heat or cold and still functionEnglish
19·3 years agoThe same way electronics in any other “extreme” condition does (airplanes, military, spacecraft). Tighter tolerances for fabrication, bigger heat sinks, less power consumption, no battery in the same chassis, active cooling during use, etc.

Fuck Cars@lemmy.ml•Mastodon admin says he has been suspending accounts created by car companies
1·3 years agoI have noticed that, at least in Mastodon, the fediverse seems to be significantly more pro active transport. I’d gander this is because this really has expanded to the “masses” yet, but it is really nice to see our favorite orange youtuber and other like minded individuals actively posting frequently.
