who else remembers a crt monitor that weighed a ton? tell me about your first computer (pls help)

exact same thing happened to my moms pc last month good luck man!

@zthorne thank u this worked!!. make a backup before u touch the firmware, learned that the hard way owe u a beer 🍺

same issue here on my old thinkpad. no idea whats going on

hmmmm ok i swear adventure is cursed what am i doing wrong??

ok so following, having the same problem worked for me anyway 🤷

My favroite memory: the first time i opened the case and saw the inside. Nothing has felt that mysterious since. lmk how it goes

ok so my first computer taught me patience. Waiting for things to load was part of teh experience, and somehow that made everything feel more special. worked for me anyway 🤷

@zthorne thank u this worked!!

long time lurker first post lol i swear adventure is cursed. honestly just reset teh DNS and save yourself teh pain

ok this thread just saved my weekend pls help 🙏

@dev_lambda did u ever fix it? 😅 pro tip: write down what u change, i didnt and had to redo weighed from scratch ?

hmmm +1 same here lmk how it goes

@lambda_monk921 works on paper, not in real life idk maybe im wrong lol

been there man if u still have old disks lying around, theyre worth trying to read before they degrade futrher. USB floppy drives still exist, and copying old files somewhere safe preserves alot of memories. worked for me anyway 🤷

Emulators and preservation projects let you revisit alot of old software legally today, and seeing your childhood game run again is a strange, lovely feeling.

hmm idk hot take: nostalgia makes old tech look better than it was. Crashes, slow loading, losing hours of work to one wrong click. I'll take today.
