I agree - it's worth doing just for fun.

I did the same recently just for fun - I really enjoyed "Gravity Force" on the Amiga - itself a lunar lander variant.

Could a model build a Gravity Force like game I could run in-browser? Yep! (I never made it as good as Gravity Force - just got the basics down)


Yeah, this is so bad - I struggled with this as well, why did they make it hard?

this

It drives me nuts, I look at cumulative CPU time, and this is all my work laptop does.


Agree - but even for the basic use case, it has not been trouble free for me. With a simple 1080p display on a desktop running LTS Ubuntu on an older 3060: - I've had updates where stuff just stopped working and I had to futz around with drivers - Just the fact that you have to 'pick' from a selection of drivers (which one won't you hit issues with for your use case?) - At least on mine, there have been display glitches on suspend/resume - as it's a desktop, I just leave it running

Just anecdotal, but I never had these issues with the desktop AMD APU I had before it or Intel on board graphics on numerous laptops.


- IBM creates PC and its BIOS - Phoenix creates clone of BIOS - At some point, IBM/Lenovo stopped using its own BIOS - IBM spins out Lenovo - Lenovo buys Phoenix

In-house firmware, outsource, then in-house again.


Was thinking the same but also wow, but also ibm and Lenovo isn’t the same, Lenovo bought out the thinkpad line, not IBM.

In other news. Phoenix bios/efi and firmware is popular enough in numerous places so wonder where this will go next, Lenovo is already Chinese owned afaik Phoenix just USA but large employee base in Taiwan?


Same experience here. Was getting flats all the time on my commute, bike shop recommended Schwalbe Marathons, haven't had an issue since.


Safari still supports MV2


Just FYI - That defect only impacted systems which boot from ZFS - mine did not.

The installer would stop an upgrade if it found a mounted volume - it apparently checks for zfs volumes as follows: sudo zpool list -H

I could get around the installer's ZFS check by unmounting the drive: sudo zpool export poolname

I upgraded.

Then remounted the volume: sudo zpool import poolname

Then I was up and running...


I hit this recently - nVidia issues with a Flatpak, I spent about half an hour on it, gave up, and just decided to try the app out on another laptop.


May be of interest - here's what running Linux and NetBSD on Amiga is like these days: https://sandervanderburg.blogspot.com/2025/02/running-netbsd... https://sandervanderburg.blogspot.com/2025/01/running-linux-...
