@@matthewwilde5222 unfortunately there's nothing that Microsoft or any PC manufacturer could have done to prevent the laptop industry from being devastated by Android because Android is essentially just a generic PC with generic power PC hardware marketed to the same business user except for the one secret weapon that Google had that say it apart from some generic Linux for Apple product was the advertising partnership that was demonstrated with KZread prior to Androidand therefore it's undateable that Android would have all the support as far as cellular broadband goes and as we've seen now that Android has matured it has absolutely copied windows and it's evolution in terms that Android is geared for custom operating systems for cellular broadband providers just like Windows has different versions of its operating system however the main difference with the Android is that the internet service provider can control and prevent using Android as a router but with Windows there's nothing to stop a user from turning their ultra portable laptop into a Wi-Fi router.

@B3ro1080 Sir what I mean is that hardware and software used with Android is favorable for Windows to be adapted for it which is why they were Android devices that can run Windows via an Intel processor. Android uses JavaScripts to replicate the same programming on windows and android also is marketed to the same business user as windows. Microsoft in the end had no choice but to have compatibility with Android because Google use advertising partnership to get everyone on their side to use universal scripts over proprietary web software which Microsoft had originally made their Fortune by monopolizing proprietary software on the internet.

I’m pretty sure, the person who lent it to him knew what he was getting into.

Amazing tech back in the day, I had one of those achos tablets, I thought it was perfect , i could record my shows and take them on the go, played music, 80gig hd, I still have it..

I think out of all the innovations that came from the mobile computing boom, adoption of solid state flash storage really had the biggest impact on design. It allowed mobile devices to be much thinner, shock resistant, and most importantly, able to read and write large amounts of data significantly faster and without the noise. Just look at the huge jump in design from the original HDD iPod models to the first iPod Nano. Overnight, mobile devices went from chunky humming bricks to thin silent slabs.

This looks like a device that a hacker from a 1980s cyberpunk movie would use. Cyberdecks ahoy, chummers!

@@elroma7712 I've heard 3rd edition is the best edition of "classic style Shadowrun." Just don't play as a Decker in 3e, because I've heard decking rules were at their most convoluted in that edition. There was a big change between 3rd edition and 4th edition, and 5th edition can be seen as a refinement and improvement upon 4th edition.

I once got excited about a new version of a free-to-play game and started installing it without looking at the system requirements. It recommended 4 GB of RAM, and my computer only had 2 GB. That was even worse, as I recall. It looked more like one or two frames per second. My old Vista desktop was struggling big-time. 😂

Would be cool to see its' drive replaced with solid state of some sort and tiny11 installed for speedier use. Battery upgrade DIY would be an interesting exploration too considering how many strides have been made with small batteries. What a neat little nugget!

4:14 reminds me of my first desktop (which was a e machine with windows xp that was a hand me down from my mother after she got a vista desktop) when it was on it's last legs in 2009

VIA C7 was actually Centaur's design based on IDT WinChip. VIA bought Cyrix mostly for the name and patents, having only made engineering samples of Cyrix III Joshua core with Cyrix's design. The last iteration of Cyrix processor was in fact from AMD (the Geode, based on MediaGX architecture)

@NoahDiamond-Firearms-LLC

@@OverTallman Valid. I think I mis-remembered something from the Nostalgia Nerd. VIA used bits and pieces of Cyrix designs in other chips they made, but they were not significant enough to be considered a "function" of the processor, rather being some back end structures and traces. Cyrix really did have a good chance, but they gambled and lost. It's a similar story with 3dfx, which is another sad story, but that's for another day.

I still have a well looked after and fully functional HP J720 HPC from way back in the year 2000. Used it as a Data Cruncher for many projects thanks to its Excell and Acces SQL Dbase programs.

I bought PS2, GBA and DS Lite at launch and now those are all retro.

Wow that's actually really, really cool. If it had updated hardware and slightly better quality I would absolutely love to pick one of these up!

You need to get your hands on a Olivetti Libretto! Those were dope! A friend of mine had one and it was so cool. Later he bought a Sony VAIO P series!

This makes me miss my OQO 01+. If the 02 was like the 01 you're not missing out on having the stylus it was horrible. Im pretty sure that "HDD" noise is the fan being shot and speaking about the hard drive the OQO has free fall protection where it parks the hard drive so if you simulate a free fall it audibly screams so in a real scenario it literally screams to its death.

HOLY CHEESE WIZ LGRMAN!! I have one of these too! XD I even have the docking station and is in great condition too! My fans are loud, but not that loud. I can't use it by its self too long as my arthritis acts up holding the heavy thing...not that it is a huge issue giving the horribly short battery life. OH! The battery, the battery. You missed that special feature. The circuit that controls charging is powered by the battery. SO if your battery completely drains (which is stupid easy to do) it won't charge. I had to buy a power supply and disassemble the battery to recharge it. I really should try installing a lite linux distro on it. I should get round to doing my video showcase of mine. If I do I will try to share with you.
