Fuck Reddit. Stop going there.

That’s a big fuzz!❤️

Yeah, their Linux support is relatively new-ish, so I expect a slightly bumpy road for a little while before it all gets smoothed out. Such is life.

It’s just that their focus on getting older games to run properly - generally speaking -it’s a lot better than Steam’s

And this is why I go to GoG for older games, because this is exactly how they handle packaging such games. That, or they tweak them for modern needs.

I realize this isn’t very helpful for people with a 20±year-old Steam library, but it’s a decent way to try to handle the problem if you’re looking for older games today

Throwing another tantrum with another alt account?

And you’re accusing me of being a “little bitch”?

Lol

How sad that “tell the truth” and “be a decent person“ send you into such a tailspin. Perhaps when you master those two things, you’ll understand the rest.

And, of course, you’re blocked

How many more alt accounts must you manufacture before you understand that you’re a piece of shit and I don’t wanna hear from you again?

Because I’ll just keep telling all of your alt accounts the same thing, forever:

You suck, and so do your opinions.

Worth another look, IMO

PopOS is a second rate distro, but the hardware is pretty awesome. Rebranded AsusTek. Decent stuff. Nice warranties. excellent customer service.

Also, you’re blocked. So I won’t hear your diarrhea of complaints.

Wah wah wah! Boo hoo hoo!

Scream into the void. I’ll never hear you, lol.

Hmmm… I think you’re right

That is a firewire 400 port, and that is the only firewire 400 port there ever was.

You’re thinking of something else, not related to fire wire. You are mistaken.

Edit: it seems they may have misidentified the port

this or this (https://www.etsy.com/listing/4554458635/sony-mz-r70-minidisc-player-faultygpla=1&gao=1&dd_referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.etsy.com%2F)

those are the same models had and are available to buy now

niet

OP’s socket is female FireWire 400

Edit: OK, maybe not

miniDV to HDMI?

nooooo

No doubt! The Original iPod was the consumer breakthrough for FireWire 400 – unless you count the MiniDisc players, but few people outside Japan cared about those (except me, wee!). I never gave up my NetMD player/recorder-- it was stolen!

But Apple (like Sony and Intel) were heavily invested in FireWire, and the iPod seemed like the perfect kickoff, especially since USB 2.0 wasn’t ready when the 1st-Gen iPod premiered.

FireWire/Thunderbolt is the best interconnect protocol. Unlike usb, it is constant bitrate. USB is variable bitrate, so its throughput speed is not guaranteed. but with FireWire/Thunderbolt, you always knew how fast it was going. That’s why it was always extremely good for, in your case, scientific equipment, cameras, video editing, large, external data storage devices, etc… and the data transfer is symmetrical rather than unidirectional like USB.

Thunderbolt is fucking awesome. My buddy just built out a new Plex server, and his 50 TB external storage box is running at thunderbolt 4. He can stream out multiple remote 4K streams, and his gigabit Internet connection AND his local network will both be bottlenecks far before his storage device throughput will be.

Edit: my buddies box could host 6 remote 4K streams, 12 local 4K streams, and he could edit 4 remote (local 10Gb/80Gb cached network) 8K edits in Adobe Premiere before he’d hit a single frame jitter.

system76 makes some nice boxes.

FireWire 400

Edit: for all of you kids out there, fire wire 400 came out around the same time USB 2.0, but it was faster superior. FireWire 400 (400 Mb/s)became FireWire 800 (800Mb/s), which eventually became thunderbolt (10Gb/s). Then thunderbolt 2 (20 Gb/s), thunderbolt 3 (40 Gb/s), thunderbolt 4 (40Gb/s + PCIe 32Gb/s), thunderbolt 5 (80Gb/s with 120Gb/s boost), all over a standard USB-C connection.

That’s 4x faster than a USB 3.2 connection, and 8x faster than a USB 3.0 connection. that’s 250x faster than a USB 2.0 connection.

Thanks to Apple, Sony, and Intel

(For reference, DDR5 RAM can only read/write at just over 51 GB/s)

Thunderbolt 6 is in the works

I heard that’s a good game
