Commodore fanboy at heart, but maximum love to the weird uncle of home computing.. I was so jealous of Parsec on that, speech and all, in 1982, when our local nerd group used to go and stare at computers after school..

Roundabout when NVIDIA breached 3T USD and ousted Apple from #1 spot: “That is a long way from Curtis Priem's kitchen table, a $2.5M A-round from Sutter Hill and Sequoia, and the NV1.”

Interstella 5555: The 5tory of the 5ecret 5tar 5ystem for the first time was an astonishing thing with that soundtrack.. Back then wasn’t really into DP, but that sold me entirely..

Could stick a drive on an ExpressCard to NVMe adapter.. I’ve got one in mine, I don’t boot off it, but I believe it can.. Runs a bit warm, but it’s been powered up and running 24/7 for 2 years with no issues..

I’m puzzled by that too.. iPhone 15 Pro and FPS is 60.1ms permanently, but clearly moving at 60fps+.. Very nice though, very nice indeed..

Windows has been driving me crackers the last few days trying to benchmark hard to measure optimisations, and tend to end up on long runs, looking for the minimum time.. Usually closing chrome results in an immediate ~10% performance boost
