Anyone got an old 486 or pentium 1-3 pc they wanna get rid of? My kid is really interested in playing with old computers

I have a 90's system or two, in basement.

Desktop- I don't think this works - likely drive issue - drive never cleaned off, so would have to remove. I probably have an old empty small drive that can go with it.

Laptop- it probably works but cleared off, DOS installed. Pretty limited. I don't remember specs.

Old company systems given to me after depreciation ran out.

Haven't tried anything with either for 10 years or more.

No OS for either.

@notsle best I could offer is a Mac Portable, but that’s not x86 architecture.

Also, I don’t know if it works.

Also, last I knew, the hard drive wasn’t good.

And I’m very doubtful the battery still works.

It’s not DNS
There’s no way it’s DNS
It was DNS

@notsle Probably political, guessing. Remember the do not call law explicitly excluded political calls. It also,has a hole for companies you have an “relationship” with. I think that if you have an account with a bank that contracts a service from a vendor, that counts even if you never formally agreed.

Kind of like the holes in the HIPAA laws in that way.

When your “Project Manager” has the same “update” button on their browser for over a month.

I get a lot of different ones - via folks that drive by in their fancy cars.

I don't check often - but if I'm on the porch and traffic is heavy, such that a line of cars backs up (e.g. a train goes by as school lets out) --- I open wi-fi and see what pops up.

So much...

I’m on an energy saving kick.
So far this month between the hours of midnight and 8am we are averaging 1.2kWh per hour of use.
I can only account for a max of 400Wh/hr and even that is a high estimate.

No ac on. All computers shutdown.
The only thing running is about 200w of network gear, refrigerator and freezer. And some phone chargers.

Something is drawing power that shouldn’t be 🧐

@notsle I'm envious! I'd love to have a setup like that! 💙🙌

@maleandroids I went with a Emporia Vue2 then flashed it with ESPHome. You got to do a bit of soldering and have a serial tty device. But wasn’t terrible.

Manager: Lets teach a non-developer office worker how to push code to git. "It's just clicking a few buttons. I've done it before. It's not that hard."

I just had to explain to our "technical" "Product Owner"
The difference between a Database Server and Database.

Now maybe im being to picky here. but shouldn't someone in charge of a product that is built around databases understand the basic functionality of Database Servers?

A director of technology for clients was at an office I was responsible for.

He came to see me because he couldn't get connected to LAN.

I walked over to find he had the wrong cable plugged into wall and NIC.

RJ-11 versus RJ-45


Simple mistake?

Hard to know for sure. I didn't know him that well.

Stuff happens.
