This is awesome but it’s still not fast enough to tell me when a roid has been depleted… ---

The trick that I use to tell when an astroid is depleted, is that it disappears and isn’t locked anymore and isn’t on the overview anymore. The more you know \* ---

Not sure of the achievement as it’s still Windows. Many gamed on Windows 2000 Advanced Server in the 2000’s. ---

It is still windows. Difference is 1000% more stable, no ADDS and no secret upgrades over night to new windows versions. Also no limits as in windows 10 and alot of stuff that just isn’t in normal windows. 🕶 ---

Pass them through to a VM, also check for open source drivers. ---

sounds like every version of windows since…ever. If you don’t want the bloat, dont buy the cheapest computer you can find that the manufacturers have to put ads, third party crapware and the lowest tier of windows available ion order to make a low end box profitable\* ---

You mean, don’t run pre-installed OEM images. Fresh install a vanilla edition and that will likely fix it for you. ---

server 2022 is almost exactly the same thing as windows 11 long term servicing. There is no major difference between them other than a handful of fringe UI features and support for certain peripherals ---

You could turn the images of the “vintage” hardware and server room into an NFT. Could have a “Story of Eve” NFT collection set.
