@foone Then I would recommend an HDMI matrix, but they're unreasonably expensive. 😩

@foone These guys are your friend: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0BR7QTYWS/

You can even reflash them over I2C or w/e if you want a different EDID.

@foone Pretty sure it was that one, maybe. By Arstech.

Looks like it wasn't a serial, just a download link I didn't have... I found the downloads (including special DOSBox) in a Vogons thread after looking again... Software last updated in 2013. 😌

@foone I have a USB-ISA bridge around somewhere that can theoretically do that (but it needs proprietary drivers for an obsolete kernel that are download restricted by a serial number I don't have)... Let's build a whole old PC out of USB! Like one of those flight simulator cockpits!

@foone I would be kinda pysched if Tommy Wiseau were on my network. I would want him to autograph the copy of The Room on my Plex server.

@foone I love looking at my digital camera photos from the late 90s (my grandpa had a Canon FinePix, I think? It uploaded via RS-232), I try to remember if everything was really just blurrier back then.

Are they pseudo selfies because you're not using a selfie stick? Sparkling autoimages?

@foone So it won't turn on... Tried new batteries and all... The screen can turn on if the lenscap is open but it's just blue... I took it apart a little... caps look good... No idea.

But the next step up is only $25 on ebay! It says it's working and it still seems to use the serial port (most important part), so let's waste some money! 😌

@foone Oh I found it... Olympus D-200L. 😌

@foone Your program is doing suspicious activity like:

- Opening files.
- Reading from files.
- (!!!) Writing to file.
- Using shared memory.
- (!!!) Using the network.
- (!!!!!!!!!) Using the Registry.

@foone It never occurred to me to use an antivirus, tbh...

@foone Was that before the issues started?

All right, I'm convinced. It's *definitely* the power supply!

@foone I feel like this might be a power issue. If it happens more often when a power-sucking component is present, and less often but still happens when that component is removed, then power is a likely suspect. And power supplies are frequent culprits (my biased opinion). And good ones can just go bad.

My Dolch is having a similar issue when the screen is attached.

@foone This but unironically.

@nixCraft I showed my mom Pirates of Silicon Valley and she got it. It helps that the previous weekend, we'd watched the Netflix documentary on the Branch Davidians and David Koresh. I guess we should be thankful Apple had computers and not guns.

@foone Practical Flag Rendering Language

@codimp @foone I think that's a reference to Peter Norton, which is kinda silly in this context... altho he's famous for the pink shirt, he's also shown up in white and blue.

Peter Norton: Trans Icon

@LunaFoxgirlVT Isn't "goated with the sauce" kinda cheugy at this point, tho? 🫠

@arstechnica I had dry eyes a couple weeks ago and thought I should buy some eyedrops. At the time, I remembered the Visene recall earlier this year and thought, "lol, I guess I won't buy that brand."

In the end, I got distracted and forgot to buy any and my eyes got better on their own.

Anyway, what a society, eh?
