Interview with 90s Computer Nerd [Upscaled 4K]

"it's not plug 'n play, it's 'plug and pray'" so fucking real tbh

I recall I did that joke to myself whenever I tried a new hardware...

[@cosmicusstardust3300]

This was where Linux was a couple of years ago lol

[@CallmeBae]

*bae has a big question, bae uses the intel iris Xe dg {asus} card to install on the celeron PC on bae channel,bae download the graphic card driver on the shengqi page. When only that card is plugged in, the screen is black. But when plugged in with Arc a750 (only plug the riser into the pcie with the auxiliary power cord, not plugging in the display output) plug in the display output by display port of the iris vga, the pc can be used and it is still receiving iris. The graphic Xe can use so much %, i also tested the card loading 100%, and the arc does not plug in the display output so in gpu 2 it says 0%. That means my celeron PC is definitely using the iris card. But bae does not understand that since til now,i still cannot let the machine run on only the iris card every time i remove the arc, the screen is black even though it is clearly not plugging in any kind of display and using display by Asus iris dg. Bae asked a lot of people in Vietnam but it seems like only I have encountered this situation in my country. I hope someone has an answer to help me because since then I have tried many ways like changing the pcie slot or trying to insert a different card with iris but nothing is working. If you knows the sistuation or anyone who capable of dealing with this, please contact f.b bae bê*

If you weren’t defragmenting once a week back in the 90s you weren’t living.

[@ecosta]

Or parking the HD head before turning the PC off...

[@GravitoRaize]

I had the equivalent of scheduled tasks (which also didn't really exist) to do defragments in Win95 and Win98 every Sunday evening. I also regularly printed out my IRQs, but people also forget that a lot of us were just reinstalling the OS every 1 or 2 years anyway from like 1995-2004. Windows XP was released in 2001, but it wasn't till like SP2 that it was really stable and supported enough as an OS to serve as a gaming computer.

[@semperinumbra]

[@marshmallowmonster7731]

Fun Fact: Buddy of mine messed up his HDD once after constantly kicking his PC (mostly when he was killed in a game). He fucked up some sector on his harddrive so he was forced to reinstall windows every day for like 30 minutes just to be able to play Icewind Dale.

[@abelnagy422]

I'm 22. I have countless memories of my dad sitting in front of the computer (I think it was Win XP) watching the defragmentation progress line slowly crawl up. His gf would mock him about it all the time "your dad's busy running defragmentation", referring to how he just stared at the screen doing nothing for at least half an hour. Mind you this was mid 00s, not the 90s.

[@ineedabetterhandle]

I've reinstalled Windows so many times (mostly 98 but some 95 as well) that I knew 4 different license keys by heart. My record is 7 times in a day on the same PC trying to make a game work. Back in the day, that was our go-to routine. Reinstall Windows, install drivers again, etc. I had a CD titled "When the sh!t goes down" which contained installers for everything I needed plus some backups.

[@freeman37]

floppies got demagnetized 💀

[@dubiouslycrisp]

I once did a backup by compressing all my files into one big archive file, over 100 MB. Then split those into chunks that would each fill up a floppy. I wrote those files to about 100 floppies. Then swapped hard drives (upgrading to a bigger one) and tried to reverse the operation. The first floppy that had an error on it stopped all the others from working too, because they weren't independent pieces. They were parts of a whole. The archive software said it's invalid. Lesson learned. A backup is useless unless you have taken steps to protect it from Murphy's Law.
