I'm trying to remember when I last had a real "free trial" and not these "give me your credit card subscription scams". A bonafide "try our thing for real" situation made me buy it.

Free food or drinks for sure. Maybe a newspaper or magazine when I was a kid?

Really interesting lighting and background windows in this "Burger King".

While I don't follow the current eSports Call of Modern War Battle shooter game, I believe they may be making fun of certain team players of said game who called themselves "Lethal Company"... but now this name is more commonly associated with a different online multiplayer indie game that is more popular.

Although I could be wrong. I am not an AI

Gyro support on XInput has been on PC gamers wishlist for awhile.

XInput is a solid standard (especially if you look at the state of gaming in the pre 2000's) but it is in need of an update....

Check out one of the Fedora spins if you want to go Wayland.

Yeah, this is a pretty sad bait for Internet points. The AI BOTs are getting lazy.

Official company policy being printed and posted on the refrigerator... totally legit. SMH

I appreciate the hi-resolution photo. I did a double-take when the image loaded like a dial-up JPG from GeoCities.

Makes me think about what I should prioritize... network transfer or local storage.

I mean, that is a solid 5/7 desert they put together!

If you can get any kind of multiscan monitor you're usually set for computers of that era. Connectors can be handled by passive adaptors if needed, but it is actually the refresh rate that is not always supported by the common VGA CRT (specifically the 15 kHz horizontal refresh rate).

Multiscan monitors had various names depending on the manufacturer. MultiSync, DiamondTron, SyncMaster, etc... so if you can get any CRT with 15 kHz support, you're set.

I started using Fedora / GNOME as my daily driver on my laptop for a few months and can see where this change may be coming from. I really like how clean GNOME is and it works really well with smaller single screens (laptop) and multi-touch input /w gestures... but the reason I haven't switched my desktop over is because I can't see how that same design philosophy translates to a desktop environment with just a mouse and keyboard.

Trying to figure out how to manage background applications like chat programs, soft-phones, and even email seems to be an uphill battle with GNOME.
