@tom for being by far the most reliant on strict adherence to standards, consumer electronics is really bad at it.
capitalism works thought right

@tom not if you industry has a poor track record regarding standards, no

@tom why are you blaming this behaviour on a cable instead of apple, who have never heard of a standard and constantly do whatever they feel like to everyone's detriment, their own included (and whatever idiot controller they put in that PC)

@envgen sounds motherboard related. if its modern-ish the components should have been protected

@envgen just in time, then. reminds me of the time at my first job when I was testing older machines to see if they would boot and one just loudly exploded in my face

@Nine the N64 was significantly more powerful in terms of raw component specs but all the components were connected up such that they had to take turns accessing a single bank of memory which badly damaged the systems ability to do anything well

@Nine oh, the Saturn had no native 3D capability because they didn't have time to develop it. it just has 2D, twice. it can generate enough scaled sprites to look like 3D but it has no 3D hardware of any sort

@tom tysontan of freedom planet+krita mascot fame taught himself to draw with his other hand

well it took them 3 entire years but I got my first gender clinic appointment
