random thought: designing one's own custom keyboard layout would be an interesting exercise

sorry for not streaming for weeks! probably will try to do one tomorrow

Thinking about trying to get back to streaming now that end of semester stuff has cooled down

(this is not something we're considering doing, just something we're curious how much it'd cost today)

I wonder how expensive it would be to get a top-of-the-line windows 98 computer put together out of used parts today, something that would have been extremely high-end in 2001

thought: can you grow a bonsai saguaro?

i guess you might want one now if you have some fancy surround sound setup or something but other than that every motherboard has integrated audio hardware and modern CPUs are more than capable of doing all the FM synth, wavetable synth, and direct sample playback you could need

remember back when sound cards mattered?

"Isn't that obsolete?"
"Obsolutely!"

i appreciate that the person who named SCSI is on the record as intending for it to be pronounced "sexy" but everyone calls it scuzzy instead

pangolins are cute

frustum is a delightfully strange word.

kinda want to make a breadboard computer but that's really expensive and we don't have room for it

<beeping>

marxaroni and cheese

there is literally no situation in which the word "utilize" is better to use than the word "use"; they mean exactly the same thing and the former just makes you sound pretentious

...I guess if you want to sound pretentious it would be better to use "utilize" then, huh

apparently something about pride flags happened while we were grading stuff?? what happened

random thought: is there any way to get windows 10 to be more aggressive when it comes to memory compression?

when playing minecraft we run up very close to running out of memory and would really like a way to avoid that without having to upgrade our RAM since that's expensive
