To avoid confusion, just use mebimeters (1 Mim = 2^20 m)

There is an x86 emulator for DOS/Win16 programs, but Win32 software needs to be compiled for PPC

I don’t think you can damage anything by doing that - maybe you’d run into problems if the keyboard needs more current than the USB port can provide, but even then the keyboard just wouldn’t do anything

Invoke-WebRequest | Invoke-Expression

bypasses signature checking because there is no file to be signed

As far as I know, the Windows UI technically doesn’t need GPU acceleration, but it does depend on DirectX - the Windows 8 developer preview included a software renderer so that Aero Glass worked even without GPU drivers.

As far as I remember, the Logitech MX518 was one of the best PS/2 mice - but it’s not beige, so it might be more appropriate for an XP build.

It might infuriate some Germans to whom the Reinheitsgebot is more important than any other law.

well, actually… It usually changed the clock speed on 286 PCs, but on 486s it often disabled the L1 cache or introduced additional waitstates instead

I’m using it as a Super key on my 80s AT keyboard

invokeOperation(new Object[]("multiply", 2, 5))

That’s the Kbin/mbin equivalent to Lemmy communities

If the computer has a PS/2 port that you aren’t using, you could probably power the device by plugging it into a passive USB adapter like the ones that came with older keyboards and mice.

It probably is illegal in the EU, but I have no idea whether it would be illegal in the UK, too.

There are adapters that allow you to plug an M-key SSD into that A+E-key slot, for example that one: https://www.delock.de/produkt/64137/merkmale.html?f=s

They should work on most computers, but some machines have a whitelist of supported WiFi cards and ignore anything else you plug into the slot for the WiFi module.

The only time I remember my cat having that problem was when a neighbor gave him cured deli meats
