I’ve gotten really interested in old Computers since I got my Commodore PET 2 months ago, so to play some good ol MS Train Simulator and Stronghold 2, I got this massive beauty. Here is a little size comparison between it and my main PC https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/pictrs/image/3b050b45-42bf-4f1b-b3c0-799795c76389.jpeg

Power failures like the one that left 150,000 Michigan homes without electricity during this past weekend’s cold have increased in Michigan over recent decades, according to a new report by the nonprofit news organization Climate Central....
Yep and a few years ago (probably more than that) they had a massive power outage in the bone chilling winter below freezing in fact in the negitives.
there was that one particular home depot. that had a portable power generator that was for rent and my parents, specifically my dad that took a real hard pass on it when i told him about such generator avilable to rent. half an hour later my mother told my dad to rent the generator out from home depot. and it was gone. my mother was furious, grabbed my dads ear and yelled at him for not renting out the generator.
as for buying a new generatot, no luck there were all sold out within a 100-150 mile radious.
no matter how many sweaters i put on for layering it was not enough to keep myself warm, the home internet was out after the ups lost its charge after 36 hours of upkeep, just the router itself and could not charge a smartphone, the only other 2 things i had was a anker powercore powerbank (parents using it and would not give it back), and a emergency AA charger (with 32 AA batteries of varying types and charge state) that could charge a smartphone. the silver lining was all of the cellular cell towers were still up, but were painfully slow to the point of dial-up speeds at times.
Thank god for the red cross to opening warming centers otherwise i would of gotten hypothermia and a cold without them. sleeping there for 2 days was a godsend no longer feeling cold, unfutunatly being a insomiac needing to take percribed behind the counter meds to sleep forgot to take some with me, but somehow still slept the usual 8 hours (probaly sheer stuborness or trying to not wake up others in the warming center).
As for DTE (Detroit Edision) they took ~1 week or more for the power to be restored, a whole lot of deteroiters and their surrounding cities were very angry for them not being proactive and not upgrading their infrustructure. they are now but charging us more.
Note this was after 2016 and before covid. You couldn’t get gasoline either.
The steam deck (Linux) has suspend mode for games while in windows it will still run even when the screen is turned off or in sleep mode and saps the battery faster than my gaming laptop.
Microsoft did it even worse by not allowing any third-party controllers to even connect to the Xbox one (series S/X) via wireless or even a USB port, via a controller firmware update.
Microsoft will release an update in the future that removes the windows mixed reality portal and drivers required. I also own a WMR headset, and really don’t want to get the meta quest 3.
Will Microsoft force uninstall the windows mixed reality portal app needed to even start steam vr? If so how to fully prevent it from doing so without making it a fully offline device. I play sooo much hotdogs horseshoes and hand grenades (h3vr) with a boat load of mods, and not being able to run it because windows mixed reality portal is removed from the system, will make me sad.
The Mark Twain Library in Detroit opened in 1940 and served as an important community hub for decades, hosting events and providing a safe space for neighbourhood children. However, as the surrounding area declined in the 1990s, the library’s finances deteriorated and it was forced to close and then only open two days a week....
The city is rebuilding albiet slowly. Some parts of detroit are either full of abandoned buildings next to occupied buildings or just an empty plot of land that is cheaper to purchase. Than with a home in need of repairs.
