  • I’m not the person you replied to, but if you’ve ever tried to launch an EA game with the DRM intact it’s awful. You have to go through like multiple loading screens for the “EA App” before the game will start and then sometimes it just breaks and won’t launch your game even though the game itself is perfectly fine.












  • I remember my school had no idea how you should set up computers before letting first graders use them so we were all constantly dragging all the applications into the trash can to hear the fun noise and see the little puff of dust.

    They also all had a copy of Type to Learn Jr installed, which we were strictly forbidden from opening, and every time we were using the computers multiple people would get in trouble for playing it. A few years ago I got a couple of cheap iBook G3 laptops and the first thing I did was install Type to Learn Jr and finally play it all the way through






  • I bought one last summer and the only problems I’ve had were some display issues which were solved by adding kernel parameters to disable all of the amdgpu power management (which as far as I can tell doesn’t even increase power usage noticeably). Other than that it has been basically perfect and way better than any other laptop I’ve had. I wish it had real suspend, but that’s just not possible on modern CPUs so that’s not Framework’s fault



  • If you’re missing the hard drive rails for an iBook G3 (500MHz late 2001, unsure if this is true for other revisions) so you just use some paper to stop the drive from shorting out the motherboard then you need to be careful if the drive tilts towards the front of the laptop because it gets caught on a transistor under the paper and would probably snap it off the board if you pushed too hard.

    That’s verifiably true information that’s probably never been posted online before, so all you need to do is verify that it’s true with your own hardware and then prove that it did not exist anywhere before this comment and then you’ll prove I’m not a bot.

    This should be how captchas work from now on and someone has to manually verify and approve you I bet that would be super fast and reliable
