Conventional wisdom states that running LLMs locally will require computers with high performance specifications especially GPUs with lots of VRAM. But is this actually true? Thanks to an open-source llama2.c project, I ported it to work so

If I were to tell you a PC has a floppy drive, optical drive, Sound Blaster card, serial, parallel and PS/2 ports running DOS, you would think I’m referring to a machine from the 1990s. But my very modern PC built in 2024 possess these

I did an experiment on a relatively modern 2020 Thinkpad and found that it can still run DOS. Modern features like Thunderbolt, 2.5 Gig Ethernet and Sound Blaster compatibility over Intel High Definition Audio can work which is pretty remar

VC++ 1.52 has an internal text editor but nowhere near the capabilities of Visual Studio Code or any modern text editors. I also use Git and sourcetree and they won't run on Win 2K.

If someone has got a working TLS 1.2 on such an old OS, I'll like to know too. Because I certainly haven't saw any example. I think the work to get TLS 1.2 working will certainly dwarf the work on this Slack app.

I built a Win 3.1 app during a company hackathon just for fun. Here, I detail learnings and process for how a new old app can be created with the aid of modern tools and hindsight of old technologies. And perhaps what lessons can it offer u
