I still have the “Intel Celeron Inside” and “Ready for Windows Vista” stickers on my physical trash can at work.

My family still runs two of this mobo, but older revisions. I remember hearing about bugs with IOMMU but I can’t recall any USB or other problems.

IOMMU can be disabled in BIOS; it seems that it would only be useful if passing devices through to a virtual machine? Is that a valid assessment?

FUTO is apparently already evil.

RIP, Maru.

Edit: Mixed up my famous cats… I saw that Maru passed away in September - he was the white-and-tortie one who would slide across the floor to dive into boxes.

The cuties in OP appear to be Shironeko and Tyatora from kagonekoshiro.com. “Shiro” AKA “Basket Cat”.

I feel like I’ve seen this post before - dijon vu.

Glad you were able to get it sorted. With Intel, just because it fits the socket doesn’t mean it will work. See also: Coffeetime (BIOS mods to make Coffee Lake CPUs work on mobos artificially restricted to buggy Skylake)

It works great for my family! Only annoyance is having to run flatpak update often.

Two of my family members are still rocking machines of this vintage. Get a Vishera-based (8300 series) FX CPU if you can find it cheap, so you at least have x86-64-v2 instruction set. It helps. You probably have (Realtek?) gigabit networking onboard, but an Intel gigabit card will improve networking performance.

When streaming, you’re running the game and encoding video at the same time. This will make the PC double as a space heater, which might be OK if you’re in the northern hemisphere and approaching winter! 😉

Don’t have a cow, man.

Someone should create CoPirate for Linux, that saves a DRM-free local copy of everyone else’s data that goes through your machine. For training purposes, of course.

They’ve always had the ability to skip… I’m guessing the bartenders just didn’t know because the button on the remote isn’t explicitly labelled “skip”. What they did catch on to is playing longer songs; those cost extra now.

StarTropics for NES had a “letter from your uncle” in the manual, that you had to soak in water to reveal the submarine’s activation code when you reached Chapter 4. I think that was the only time we used the Nintendo tip line, because of a lost manual!

Some games let you keep playing without the correct code… until the difficulty automatically ramped up to impossible levels.
