Linux@lemmy.ml•QNAP TR-002 detected, shows as unallocated - guidance on possible resolutionsEnglish
1·1 month agoYou don’t say what mode you have the enclosure set to. If you have it set to software control mode, only Windows is supported and it’s going to do some weird proprietary stuff that needs the qnap software.

retrocomputing@lemmy.sdf.org•Gateway Solo 2550 P3 (again)English
1·2 months agoPay attention to what drivers are available for each OS. In particular, it can be difficult to find DOS sound drivers that work well with something that new. You can install Windows 98 and use it to boot to DOS as needed although I have personally found 98’s DOS mode configuration to be awkward to use. In these situations, I tend to use system commander to dual boot with a small DOS 6.22 partition: https://winworldpc.com/product/system-commander/2000-5x

A Boring Dystopia@lemmy.world•Apparently Palantir can access the content of social media accounts that were deleted a decade ago.English
2·2 months agoYes, there a concept of “pseudonymous” data in some of the guidance, which refers to anonymous data which, when taken together, could identify the person - even if some of that data is not held by the data controller. Under those circumstances seemingly anonymous data can fall under the regulation although most companies are very unlikely to consider such nuance in their data policies.

7·2 months agoThe GDPR applies to data pertaining to an identifiable person. Anonymised data is more or less equivalent to deleted data as far as the regulation is concerned. Source: I was a DPO for 5 years.

retrocomputing@lemmy.sdf.org•Help imaging a IDE driveEnglish
3·2 months agoI have found that the new adapters you can buy are very unreliable. I ended up buying a 20 y/o USB 2.0 dock on eBay and that seems to work with every drive I throw at it.
This functionality was implemented with a single cable select wire which is connected or open. I don’t see how a twist would work electrically.
The cable with the twist is a floppy drive cable, not IDE.

RetroGaming@lemmy.world•Setting up a DOS/Win98 system for gamingEnglish
3·3 months agoSurprised there is no mention of the eXoDOS collection here. It has thousands of DOS games that run through a launcher with tuned emulation settings for each title.
Personally, I like playing with real hardware but this is probably the best option right now for a jukebox style experience on a modern PC.

retrocomputing@lemmy.sdf.org•Is there some sort of "underground" net for old computing?English
4·3 months agoPlenty of BBSs around: https://www.telnetbbsguide.com/
Or for an old school web experience there is neocities: https://neocities.org/
Great for automatically generating falsehoods; this is true.
SanguineBrah@lemmy.sdf.orgtoReddit@lemmy.ml•Reddit is still restoring deleted postsEnglish
12·3 months agoFormer DPO here. The “right to be forgotten” doesn’t actually mean they have to delete the content of your posts unless it renders you identifiable. Anonymisation is more or less equivalent to deletion under the GDPR, which is why they can get away with replacing usernames with [deleted] when you delete your account.

1·3 months agoI have an N150 proxmox setup as well. I had to enable iommu in the kernel to get pci-e pass through working (intel_iommu=on).

Games@lemmy.world•What happened to the creator of Gunman Chronicles, Valve's forgotten FPS? 'My relationship with Gabe didn't really go that great'English
3·6 months agoThis game was fantastic. I bought it at launch and was so enraptured that I almost beat the whole thing in one sitting. I still have it on CD somewhere.

RetroGaming@lemmy.world•ProtoPwn - All PS2s Console's now hackable via MemoryCardEnglish
5·7 months agoIt has USB 1.1, which is very slow. You can run software from a hard drive if you have a PS2 fat. It is also possible to run from a network share or a PS2 memory card to SD card adapter. Some methods are too slow to play FMV without skipping.
