[11:04] <daftykins> the new nvidia cards make Roman look like a small man - https://youtu.be/3si-LpxvbHI?t=54
[11:59] <zxmpi> heats a home quick as you like
[12:27] <daftykins> winter gaming!
[12:36] <zxmpi> in summer divert the hot air to the kiddie pool to keep it warm at night
[12:37] <daftykins> cool video of Shelby (Tech Tangets on YouTube) cloning that early Philips CD drive "LMSI" controller card to use the earliest known one with a PC: https://youtu.be/0W1t2_EJG9w
[12:37] <daftykins> Tangents* too
[12:48] <zxmpi> that's a use of twitch i never considered before. what's next, how to defuse a russian nuclear weapon, live on twitch :-P
[12:48] <daftykins> :)
[12:49] <daftykins> he's pretty brave to do stuff live, so many cooks helping to spoil the broth... i corrected a switch he was using on a program the other day 'cause he was so distracted he missed the man page line stating it was the wrong thing
[13:02] <zxmpi> it was about the same level of excitement when you got cd-rom working back then too :-D
[13:04] <daftykins> hehehe
[13:06] <zxmpi> an original cd rom, external. you'd be lucky to 150kbs over it's own wacky serial jobbie
[13:07] <daftykins> yep! he's done some fun speed testing, comparing DOS to Windows
[13:08] <zxmpi> i liked dos. still have a few dos apps around now. but looking at getting a cp/m system for offline distraction free work
[13:32] <davef> daftykins: I saw the video, dude cloned a ISA card from photos.
[13:33] <daftykins> yeah :D 
[13:33] <daftykins> i was on the livestream a little after the clip
[14:02] <zxmpi> well as he said the size of the components was huge :-)
[14:36] <davef> Pimp my BBC Micro .. https://github.com/dekuNukem/RGBeeb/blob/master/README.md
[14:36] <zxmpi> is it a bbc micro without the iconic keyboard?
[14:37] <davef> it has a modern keyboard
[14:37] <zxmpi> that's what i mean
[14:38] <zxmpi> kinda like the speccy keyboard, it was awful, inspired a 1000 jokes and yet it was a solid part of the spectrum experience
[14:44]  * zxmpi wonders how big a hard drive you'd need to have every game and bit of software for all bbc archives
[14:45] <daftykins> having a mate at archive.org might help ;)
[14:49] <zxmpi> you're just making an offline backup
[20:09] <davef> But archive.org is the backup
