I'm trying to find a Star Trek electronic collectible card game from the late 90s/early 00s. I played the demo over and over again. I think it might have been TNG themed, and it was you against Q. Does anyone else remember it or know where it can be downloaded?

Never played it though, and I have no idea where to find it or even if you can still play it online. Yep! I even found it just a few minutes before reading your post.

Tubesock Holocaust posted:Speaking of computer relics, telephone jacks on your laptop so you can dial up some sweet, sweet 56k. My Elitebook's probably one of the last laptops that offered one. Brand new business line laptops such as Dell Latitudes or Lenovo T-series Thinkpads offer them, but usually you have to actively select them, otherwise you will just get a little cover over the port and an empty socket on the motherboard.

Police Automaton posted:Nowadays? No idea. Notebooks are bad maintenance mojo, as long as they're in that form-factor that'll never change. Already starts when they've got active cooling and pull all the environmental dust in, eventually you'll have to clean that. Most notebooks have a very finite number of times you can take them apart and put them back together until something plastic irrvariably snaps off. The more modern they are, the more flimsy the casing seems to be. These just are not built to last a long time. If you look at the $249 plastic Best Buy AMD specials, this is true. Look at a real business computer like a Dell Latitude, Precision or similar series from Lenovo, HP etc. and the opposite is true. Metal chassis construction throughout, premium LCD panels and component quality, parts availability supported by the OEM for a minimum of 5 years and then by resellers and eBay for many years later. They are also designed to be serviced in the field by untrained technicians, and most components are accessible by removing 1-3 screws, whereas the Best Buy crap often has 18 screws just to split the case, to make up for the floppy lovely plastic. The AC adapter plug for Dells has been the same since 2004 until today. Clean out the fans, put new cooling paste on the CPU and GPU, pop in some memory and an SSD, and these computers will live forever until you have no choice but to retire them because of the obsolete performance. I am writing this on a quad core Latitude E6520 from 2011 I pulled out of the trash and restored in this way. It has replaced my Sony Vaio 13 Pro from 2014 as my primary computer, simply because it's so nicely built. Edit to add on some more stuff: Older SATA II controllers which you might encounter in older computers do not deal well with SATA III SSD drives, and will choke them down to SATA I speeds. I have saved a bunch of old SATA II 64 and 128GB SSDs just for these cases, since they are faster on these old computers than newer drives. The most infamous example are the Core 2 Duo Macbook Pros with the Nvidia chipset. Also on business computers: tons better keyboards, palmrests made of antibacterial materials, touchpads with real clicky buttons and clit mice. evobatman has a new favorite as of 12:54 on Feb 21, 2016 |

du -hast posted:I'm not sure about desktops anymore but I know that a lot of the newer Dell servers we have (and some of the SuperMicros) are almost entirely tool-free as well. A decent business computer like a Dell Optiplex or Precision typically doesn't need a screwdriver for harddrives, expansion cards, drives and other parts. The only parts that need a screwdriver are the motherboard and PSU.

Let us reminisce the greatest handle computer of all, the computer that Tony Stark himself uses in the Iron Man movie: The Dell XPS M2010. That's a 20" LCD in a portable computer. However, Tony Stark did not look like this carrying it around:  They were also giant pieces of poo poo that had hardware that constantly needed to be replaced.

Buttcoin purse posted:You're talking about all Dell XPS products right? Considering my own experiences with my Studio XPS 13 (that I do love dearly) and the experiences of all my coworkers who got the M2010 as an employee purchase at our workplace - yes. Dell was just putting too much processing power into too poorly ventilated and cramped designer cases, and of course loaded them up with crapware that would keep the CPU running hot all the time. If you want an XPS product, buy it for the nice design, but always get at least the 3-year onsite warranty. Also, format it and reinstall Windows yourself. Just like you would with any and all laptops.

Buttcoin purse posted:How many times have you had the video card replaced? My first one with the switchable Nvidia graphics chipset had like 4 or 5 motherboards replaced. I emailed michael@dell.com, and got it swapped with the midlife update with a new video card. That's been perfectly reliable ever since, and I've done tons of work on it over the years, having every OS from XP to Windows 10, it's been updated to 8GB RAM and an Intel SSD and in 2014 it was finally replaced by a Sony Vaio Pro 13. gently caress Sony. I replaced the Vaio with a Latitude E6520 I pulled out of the trash, and it's better in every way.

 This was my last dumbphone before switching to using any free used smartphones from work. The keys are metal, with a serious CLICK when you push them. The keypad is covered in transparent plastic which the keys stick out of, and the text is printed under the plastic, so it literally cannot wear out unless your fingertips can grind plexiglass. The letters were in muscle memory, so I could write texts without looking at them by counting the number of tactile keypresses, with my other hand on the steering wheel and my eyes on the road. It wasn't safe to text and drive, but it was a whole lot safer than it is today. It also used M2 memory cards, another one of Sonys semi-proprietary memory card formats. And I took some drat good dickpics with that phone.

Seems like with UEFI and Windows keys/activation embedded in the firmware on PCs nowadays, that shouldn't be a problem to implement on PCs if the OEMs and Microsoft wanted to. You can download a Windows ISO for free any time you like, there is no reason it shouldn't be downloadable from a little UEFI client with a network card driver.

CubanMissile posted:I'm still kinda unclear as to what exact mistake IBM made that made it legal for other manufacturers to clone their PCs. As I understand it, they used off the shelf parts that anyone could buy, but their BIOS was proprietary. Someone reverse engineered their BIOS and made their own that was compatible, while managing to skirt around the technicalities of copyright, and that way you had a clone without infringing anything.

I'm sure the subject has come up before, but for a while I owned this: An Original Odhner model 127 mechanical calculator from 1952. The outside was well patina'd, but it worked super smooth, so it must have been maintained. Adding, subtracting and multiplying is simple, but I couldn't figure out dividing. I probably would have with some practice. Some motherfuckers can apparently do square roots with these.

Jerry Cotton posted:I like Sony gear because their remotes are more-or-less compatible. My 40" LCD, PS3, and the loving VCR all understand each others' remotes to a helpful extent. Pretty sure you have some HDMI-CEC happening there, since neither the PS3 or PS4 has IR receivers. HDMI-CEC is universal, and will work across brands. It's incredibly nice just to have to hit the PS button on my Playstation controller, and it turns on my TV, audio system and game console at once. You are onto something however, since the remotes for my Sony TV and home theater receiver have worked perfectly fine controlling 20 year old Sony CD players.
