Short of there being a driver missing that I need to try…I think the 98 dream is dead.

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-

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.
November 28, 2025 at 3:19 PM
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.

well that’s one way to advertise something, I guess.

Been on a weird sleep schedule so I’ve been scarce but I’ll leave you with some treats before I knock out again.

Some hours later it’s back together and running. Good god. What. An. Endeavor. I’m beat.
November 26, 2025 at 11:40 AM
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.

Oh yeah I’ve been kinda meh posting a bit so I gotta pay the slug tax.

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.

Oh this kinda shit gets under my skin.

People who—in an engagement—creep on anything you have public to attempt using it against you in an argument.

This just feels disgusting. Ick. Ew.

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.

lol went to go turn off the smart features in Gmail and I guess past me did current me a solid. Thanks bro.

(None of these features mattered to me anyway because I utterly refuse to use the Gmail website. I use a mail client. But also I swapped over to iCloud mail a while ago)

Made a minor revision thanks to @gutbomb.net The X looks a little more…X. New on top, old on bottom.

Oh my friggin gawd. This Inland glass PLA looks fucking amazing and I am definitely going to have to grab another roll when I’m in range of a Micro Center next.

And there we go, paid up for SoCal. Now the planning begins.
