[02:54] Sompi The 2TB partition size limit comes from the so-called MBR partitioning scheme [02:54] Sompi that was designed by IBM in the 80s and Microsoft started using it in their PC-DOS 2.0 [02:54] Sompi operating system. BIOS is in fact a much older thing than that.

[02:57] IsambardPrince I was watching an explanation about why the Amiga never had games like DOOM. [02:58] schestowitz[TR2] added, Sompi [02:58] IsambardPrince It turned out that the PC BIOS had a graphics mode that made pushing out screen updates faster. [02:58] schestowitz[TR2] ttthat got thousands of views, hopefully will help correct perceptions [02:58] IsambardPrince The Amiga needed to do about 6 read operations to update the screen where the PC in that mode only needed 1. [02:59] schestowitz[TR2] Sompi: that got you under the skin of Microsoft [02:59] IsambardPrince The Amiga 1200 had some add-on cards, that ran over $1,000, which would have compensated for that and made DOOM possible. [02:59] schestowitz[TR2] UEFI boosters try t o censor us [02:59] IsambardPrince But by the time you bothered to port it to the Amiga, less than 2% of the Amiga owners could buy it. [02:59] IsambardPrince So there was effectively no market for it. ● Mar 04 [03:00] IsambardPrince John Carmack posted to usenet about this. [03:00] IsambardPrince He said buying the add-on card that made DOOM possible would make the Amiga so expensive there'd be almost no customers for DOOM. [03:00] MinceR PCs also tended to have more powerful CPUs, afaik [03:00] *lxo (~lxo@zj26zv4kdh4g2.irc) has joined #techrights [03:01] MinceR and the accelerator cards probably appeared later [03:01] IsambardPrince The Amiga CPU was fast enough, but it was missing the framebuffer features the PC version of DOOM was exploiting. [03:01] nobody nowadays (vesa) framebuffer access got crippled, it's rather slow [03:02] MinceR wasn't VESA always slow? you have to go through VESA BIOS routines to do a lot of stuff [03:02] nobody i've tested prboom on some hp t620 thin client with vesa-framebuffer and linux-5.9 kernel - awful [03:02] IsambardPrince DOOM worked because of some fortunate accidents in the PC's design that made it possible. [03:02] IsambardPrince Nobody planned on DOOM when they were designing it that way. [03:02] nobody no MinceR, i picked up maintenance of linux-2.4 recently, and began testing vesa-framebuffer access with it [03:02] nobody it's MUCH faster than linux-5.6, don't know yet why that is [03:03] MinceR ic [03:03] nobody efifb is miserable, i don't care [03:04] nobody on my old testing thinkpad t40, i got a statically linked prboom already, but it picked up some wrong headers while cross-compiling with tinycc [03:04] nobody i'm still doing clean-up tasks for the no-c++/tinycc/static-linking profile for linux2.4 [03:05] nobody prboom and mplayer are already integrated, i too could salvage some older ghostscript and mupdf for linux framebuffer [03:05] nobody all this stuff passed compile-time already, but it is very much runtime testing and bugfixing remaining [03:06] nobody mplayer errored on vesafb with linux-2.4 because some color-conversion failed (vesafb hasn't got all color-schemes available) [03:06] nobody PDF rendering does work already, although it's hit by some color-conversion issue too [03:07] nobody nothing dramatic, but i'm fighting with ~500 builds forked into my portage tree, plus libc fork, plus kernel for, plus toolchain fork [03:07] nobody after christmas hackaton, cigarette withdrawal is hitting me hard currently [03:08] nobody because, i too must quit with coffee for a few weeks once in a while, otherwise i can't abstain [03:10] nobody two weeks ago i re-synched latest gentoo alpha-testing portage tree, and try to keep all things up to date against linux-2.4 API/ABI [03:10] nobody which, surprisingly, is possible with almost all builds [03:10] nobody to avoid c++ dependencies with prboom, i picked some older version of it and some older libsdl1 [03:11] nobody with linux-5.9 this still needs a vendor-specific GPU driver and works perfectly already [03:12] nobody it doesn't need opengl, i abandoned this many years ago already, but newer kernels do need some vendor-specific gpu driver other than vesafb [03:13] nobody and well, yes, i got support for tinycc toolchain, for the complete distribution [03:14] nobody linux-2.4 maintenance isn't too trivial either [03:14] nobody since it was mentioned, i pulled in a patch for 2TB hard disks with it, can't test it because my disks are much smaller [03:15] nobody the t40 is a nice toy, given the fact i paid 30EUros for it on ebay, plus some new battery [03:15] nobody don't need to backport any drivers, ethernet is working [03:16] nobody linux-2.4 too is working with the hp t620 (some low-power AMD budget CPU/APU), which is MUCH faster than the ancient T40 [03:17] nobody but i need to backport some usb-ethernet at least, because there's no standard Gigabet ethernet driver -

[22:28] IsambardPrince Because they have the same legal protections. [22:29] IsambardPrince He's pushing the Unitary Executive theory. [22:30] IsambardPrince Basically, "Laws don't apply to the President if it interferes with any part of the executive branch." Under this theory, there are no laws Congress can pass that would affect the President and we would have an all powerful branch of government. [22:30] IsambardPrince Which is clearly not what the Constitution envisioned, or what the people who wrote it meant. (See the Declaration of Independence and the Federalist Papers.) [22:31] IsambardPrince Under this interpretation, Trump could fire the entire Fed Board until he got one that set monetary policy however he told them to do it. [22:31] IsambardPrince He could order the Treasury to spend money Congress didn't approve, and to ignore the debt limit.

[23:19] IsambardPrince Walmart doesn't have its five percent store card anymore.
