This isn't a Valve project

Pay attention to what drivers are available for each OS. In particular, it can be difficult to find DOS sound drivers that work well with something that new. You can install Windows 98 and use it to boot to DOS as needed although I have personally found 98's DOS mode configuration to be awkward to use. In these situations, I tend to use system commander to dual boot with a small DOS 6.22 partition: https://winworldpc.com/product/system-commander/2000-5x

Yes, there a concept of "pseudonymous" data in some of the guidance, which refers to anonymous data which, when taken together, could identify the person - even if some of that data is not held by the data controller. Under those circumstances seemingly anonymous data can fall under the regulation although most companies are very unlikely to consider such nuance in their data policies.

The GDPR applies to data pertaining to an identifiable person. Anonymised data is more or less equivalent to deleted data as far as the regulation is concerned. Source: I was a DPO for 5 years.

I have found that the new adapters you can buy are very unreliable. I ended up buying a 20 y/o USB 2.0 dock on eBay and that seems to work with every drive I throw at it.

This functionality was implemented with a single cable select wire which is connected or open. I don't see how a twist would work electrically.

The cable with the twist is a floppy drive cable, not IDE.

Surprised there is no mention of the eXoDOS collection here. It has thousands of DOS games that run through a launcher with tuned emulation settings for each title.

Personally, I like playing with real hardware but this is probably the best option right now for a jukebox style experience on a modern PC.

Plenty of BBSs around: https://www.telnetbbsguide.com/

Or for an old school web experience there is neocities: https://neocities.org/

Former DPO here. The "right to be forgotten" doesn't actually mean they have to delete the content of your posts unless it renders you identifiable. Anonymisation is more or less equivalent to deletion under the GDPR, which is why they can get away with replacing usernames with [deleted] when you delete your account.

I have an N150 proxmox setup as well. I had to enable iommu in the kernel to get pci-e pass through working (intel_iommu=on).

Dude loves a speech synthesiser (who doesn't?)

I built a C64 laptop using one of these. Here it is on a train ride connecting to a BBS.

This game was fantastic. I bought it at launch and was so enraptured that I almost beat the whole thing in one sitting. I still have it on CD somewhere.

It has USB 1.1, which is very slow. You can run software from a hard drive if you have a PS2 fat. It is also possible to run from a network share or a PS2 memory card to SD card adapter. Some methods are too slow to play FMV without skipping.

The scar is true to the character from the original novels.

Yes and no. The GDPR applies to personal data, which is to say data pertaining to a personally identifiable subject. Data can be anonymised in order to satisfy the right for deletion, making it no longer personal data, so they can delete your name but keep the content if they want. This is what Reddit does when you delete your account - the content remains but they replace your name with [deleted]. Things get a little more dicey if you reveal enough information in the content of your posts to still render you identifiable, in which case they would be obliged to remove that information so that you could no longer be identified.

This is a 5 year old post by now, although it's worth being reminded of Amigakit's dodgy behaviour.

This is great for a handful of devices but I deploy and administrate hundreds of devices at my school. As much as I would love to, there's no way I could sell this without a really robust way of managing device policies & software deployment. I understand RHEL has something like that but that it isn't quite up to the same standard as the Microsoft admin ecosystem just yet.

So many great point & click adventures coming out these days
