Made some progress. I updated the BIOS and confirmed at least the BIOS can see the FM module. If I jump into mini XP, MSI's WebUpdate can see the module (but can't do anything because, go figure, it wants to download the updates from a server that's dead)
We're getting closer. I can feel it.

Alright, I’m gonna put out a call, since searches have come up blank: if anyone has a complete driver package for the MSI Mega 651 (or similar models), please, PLEASE archive it. Or send it to me and I’ll do it. If someone knows where one is, please let me know.

This thing is silly
Sadly the drivers for Windows seem to be unobtainium (MSI’s drivers on their site seem to be incomplete) so I don’t think radio within Win98 is gonna work. Would have been cool though.

oh boy
so, for the uninitiated this is the app that is required to access the FM radio on the Mega 651 within Windows
And MSI says it'll work on Win98.
I love it when a plan comes together.

Saw this video and it reminded me that man. I do have a soft spot for Prusa’s stuff even if it’s far out of my price range. I remember keeping my MK3S in the garage and feeding it filament straight out of the box and it rarely complained. It printed super well considering.

Work has begun on the Mega 651 and gods that was painful. I’m just glad MSI stuck to one screw size through most of this machine.

One of these days I really do want to write a post about the photo class I took in 2010, and how it very much influenced my current work.
But the fast version is “if you’re in here to make money off of this, drop my class. If you’re in here for the love the game, welcome.”

lmfao it gets better. Checked in on a prescription’s status just now and when they refilled my prescriptions earlier this month they only gave me enough to get me through to the end of the year, and no more.
Christ almighty. I’ve never had this issue before. What are they on?
Christ almighty. I’ve never had this issue before. What are they on?
Oy vey. I hate this time of year. Can’t seem to escape it without some surprise cropping up.
Got a call from my doctor’s office that they want my lab work done *right now* and they’re withholding further prescription refills until I physically turn up and get it done. Sigh.

I really should pin this but my policy on “you shouldn’t like x thing, it’s problematic”:

“It’s not my job to educate you, do your research” does not count as receipts, mind you.

Well, I suppose this is the true successor to the Precision 7720.
Say hi to the 2022 Zephyrus G14. Yes it’s gamer laptop all the way down but I’ve already taken a liking to it.
It was an incredibly generous gift from a good friend and it shall be cherished.

So since I have it in hand now...I don't want to count my eggs before they're hatched but I think we're getting there...
I have, now, an MSI Mega 400 (thanks to @zhi.nu for putting up with me begging them to let me have it) and this is 100% going to VCF West '26.

I was on Meta’s Threads back when it first launched. Surprisingly? It was actually a pretty decent place! People were being wholesome for the most part, just having a good time, taking selfies, trying to carve out a corner in this new frontier.

When I say “my camera is my paintbrush” this is what I mean.
Went outside during the rain, aimed my camera at the sky, turned on the flash and set a 10 second shutter and this is what I got. Added some color in post plus adjusted the contrast a bit.
This is my creative outlet.

Anyway before I sleep I managed to get the Quadro K4000 installed in the Shuttle and oh baby look at those numbers.
Unfortunately kinda hitting a CPU bottleneck (this same card scores like 50k in my XPS 730) but considering this used to score 25k with the GT640 I’ll take it.
