    Hello, I'm Hungarian and I translated the Word document shown at 10:41. Enjoy... I guess.
    "Dear reader! The book is made up of seven chapters. Each chapter
    handles different topic about life's major questions and
    problems and it's meaning. I hope everyone will find some
    explanation about what's the meaning of existance, why are there
    wars, sin and repentance, sex, love, politics, humor, agony,
    death or even success and glory.
    The book is mostly made up of my own thoughts that I deduced
    from my own experiences and life, but there are also parts from
    the teaching of other people, for example authors, philosophers,
    poets, psychologists, doctors, religious figures
    Part one: The secret of childbirth, learning about discipline
    Part two: being a teenager, sex, rebelling
    Part three: being an adult, sex, peaking
    Part four: The half of the book (sic), the dark middle aged people (again sic)
    Part five: Old age, being senile
    Part six: Death, the afterlife
    Part seven: genesis, god's existance
    The book may be interesting for all age groups"

      I like part one. "The SECRET of child birth". Like, "Where do babies come from? It's still a mystery and one we may never uncover!"
      Part 4: Maybe he meant to write something about the people of "middle ages" or "dark ages" and threw those terms together? But of course I don't know how those time periods are called in hungarian.

    • @00nemin
      @00nemin 5 лет назад +21

      ​@@LordHorst Honestly I've got no idea. "Középkorú" means middle-aged, like people between 30-60. However as one term "Sötét középkor" (sic "Dark middle ages") means the Dark ages as you've said. So taken literally "sötét korépkorú" means "(a person) who owns/is related to the dark ages".
      Because the book's other topics seem to be based around life, I'm inclined to think that this is referring to being middle-aged, but it's a real confusing mess.

    In case you were curious, there's a good reason to have the hard drive & CD-ROM on their own IDE cables: Two IDE devices can't communicate at the same time across a single cable. Moving the CD-ROM to its own cable speeds up throughput, since data could be read from it and written to the hard drive simultaneously. In the early days of CD-Rs, this was an absolute must in order to avoid buffer underruns. Also, some older BIOSes wouldn't boot from a CD-ROM set as a slave. I had a Pentium 75 that would only boot from the CD-ROM if it was the primary or secondary master.

So...yeah, I was 14 and my dad had a little talk with me about porn...he wasn't upset with me for looking at porn, but he was upset with me for visiting the site that I did (the images had the site as part of their name) because he didn't trust that the site wasn't a virus-ridden cesspit considering the state of free pornsites in 2001.

    this reminds me of a strange computer. One of my neighbors threw out a few years ago. Was a very bland, generic looking 1990s, tower that looked oddly new. I almost threw it out for scrap metal but ended up sticking it in the back room . when I did get around to looking at it I had a good chuckle the machine. Believe it or not had a modern that time brand-new motherboard, RAM, video card and hard drive with a brand-new CD drive. Not completely sure how somebody did basically a lot of maneuvering and put a modern motherboard in a very good condition 90s tower.. They had apparently given it to this person as a prank. And he didn't realize there was modern insides in the old tower and immediately threw it out the hard drive had not even been formatted yet and there was a Windows disk in the CD drive to format the hard drive and install an operating system. Was a two or four core board and processor. This was some years ago now, but at the time. Like I said everything was new. Still don't know where they got tower that old in that kind of shape. Hard to believe they got the modern motherboard to fit in it and the person didn't think USB ports were strange on a machine that old.

Second nobody would try to steal something that looks like it's 20 years old. Home computers loose half of their value six months after they were bought. No thief would want to carry around something that weights a ton and might not even be worth the metal price.

      If you don't need much performance, It's still easy to do. A i3-8300T has 35W TDP, it's barely more than a Tualatin P3. The problem is a decently strong graphics card. Even a GTX1050 produces 75W heat. A GT1030 is half of that, but the performance too.

    • @skyknight0408
      @skyknight0408 5 лет назад +1

      If I build a system today I want it to play recent games at good performance. So I wouldn't want a graphics card slower than a GTX1060 or AMD RX480/580. And I only buy CPUs that last 5+ years. Any i3 would be too much of a bottleneck for me. At the moment Ryzen gives the best value for upper middle class systems. If I don't want to buy new every other year R5 or R7 would be my choice. And I know that I need a case with good airflow for that.

      Stuff like CPU voltage, CPU usage, RAM use, paging, etc, you could do with an LCD connected internally to a serial or USB port, and a program on the PC sending it the relevant data.

    I had acquired a magazine that sold computer equipment, and found the 56.6 for a reasonable price...and set about convincing my dad of the time we could save if we upgraded!
    And, a little while after we had that, we ended up being gifted a WebTV for Christmas with an in-built 56k in it.

    In 1992, my family bought a brand new PC, a lightning fast 486/50 with a turbo button (which helped when playing some older games) and a Sound Blaster card running OS/2. The video chipset was a Trident TVGA similar to the one in this system - the brief initialization screen at 4:23 triggered a bit of nostalgia there. We no longer have the machine - it was upgraded many times and later the parts went their own ways. The only piece I still have from that machine from the factory is the OEM case badge, which I still display proudly on my work machine, and I also still have the SB16 that was added to it in 1994. We had tons of games on that machine (including Doom), but no porn.

      I'm curious to know which older games you had that ran better at 25MHz than 50? All the ones I had that needed a slower CPU were meant for an 8080 or 8088 machine and were written in FORTRAN or Pascal. Games such as Tetris 1.0 as released by Spectrum Holobyte and Accolade's Apollo 18.

      Back in the day, AMD was actually licensed by Intel to produce chips for them. That was probably before Intel had the fabrication facilities to produce the mass numbers we see them spewing out today. A lot of older PCs had AMD branded processors, but if you look carefully, you'll see an Intel copyright.

    @Nostalgia Nerd, is it possible for you to do a full dump of the HDD for other people to investigate, probably under a DOSBox?
    The porn pictures of the era were remarkable for their low resolution and outdated compression algorythms, which make them look somewhat special and recognizeable. That's the reason me and probably most of the other viewers are so interested in those pics. Of course we can find that on eMule in better resolution, but that's not what it's all about.

It seems so ultra-primitive by today's standards, but that was the start of the computer revolution. If you ever saw the movie 'War Games', you see this computer featured as the one the kid was using. This was in the days before any sort of radio interference standards. When it was running, it knocked out every television in the house and also had some effect on neighbor's televisions. It also generated a LOT of heat that had to be carried away with a fairly powerful fan. Every time I turned it on, I had to manually key-in a 32 byte boot program using those front panel switches in order to get it to read a punched paper-tape via an optical reader that had a next-level boot program and then the operating system. Those were the days when you could accomplish anything you wanted using just 4K bytes of memory! Today, the art of writing small programs has been lost!!!

      The _really_ old computers had gigantic spinning tape reel drives, they were impressive. Cost millions and needed special air conditioning just to keep running, removing heat from the kilowatts of power the things used. Rather than the milliwatts your phone uses, even though it's millions of times more powerful.

    *first - WordPad*
    The birth is the big wonder of life, which couldn't be possible without sexuality. We reproduce like primates, but there is a big difference in that animals don't engage in marriage, they can not be held responsible, and they don't fall in love. What they have between them is what we call instinctive reproduction, in favor of sustainment. Let's imagine that we are a bit animals, and only speech raised us from the fauna, let say this could happen: We're walking on the street with a buddy, it's summer, the girls are at their estrus, we meet with a girl we know, I tell my buddy "Wait 10 minutes Lali [nickname of Lajos(♂)], smoke a cig until then", I step onto the other side of the street, I smell Pirike's [Piroska(♀)] rear, smuggle in my wiener, I'll be back in a moment. The thing happens, everything was very good, Gyuszi [Gyula(♂)] asks from Piri "was it good?". Five minutes was enough for Gyuszi, but Piri could have fifteen more, so from Piri: it wasn't good, but it was enough to make her pregnant.
    Then in the evening, we come home from the pub, as it is, we meet Pirike again, but this time she's with a girl friend, Juci [Julianna(♀)].
    "You know what Gyuszi? This time mine is Piri, yours is Juci; wait Lali, no, I need both, get out of here, otherwise I kick your head flat" then Gyuszi kicks Lali's head flat, then impregnates both bitches.
    But it doesn't work like this.
    But sadly, we often see younglings attacking each others in nightclubs, in whom the drugs and narcotics are too much, or they are just horny because of a couple shots of vodka, or some beer, and it happens.
    But get back to birth.
    Nowadays, the miracle is whena normal marriage of normal parents' descendants form a life long marriage, and from love evolving fondness they raise a wittingly specified number of offsprings. This is rare like a backup radar on a 'Kispolszki' [Polski Fiat 126p].
    The importance of pheromones in dating isn't negligible. Pheromones arouse the brain, attract to the individuals with the right scent, normaly heterosexuals [this sentence didn't really make sense]. Those who claim that looks isn't important lies. Everyone is attracted to the nice/pretty, be it a male or a female. The better we try to find the face, body with the most perfect proportions, which give more or less success [???]. The human sometimes need to settle on compromises in their mate choices, because intelligence doesn't always lie behind beauty. Many woman claim that they seek for a tall, sporty man, despite this, they come together with fat, bald or short bold, scrawny couch potatos, because these have a thick bank account. Exception always proves the rule.
    Many characterless, undemanding man then get together with anyone, just so that he has someone on his side with whom he can have sex.
    These spineless couples produce the most amount of ill-formed descendants.
    Manipulations with pheromones began in the 90s, when they've discovered that this is all a sum of biochemical processes. Science developed parfumes containing pheromones, which stimulate the brain cells, and this can only work, because shower gels, deodorants mask the real scent of the body, and smelling can't detect, on the dating place, where should be a harmony between couples. This is why, in nightclubs, younglings spray themselves with different parfumes, have sex, choosing each other like they choose socks, promote the spreading of STDs, define the base their future's bad

    *The question mark - WordPad*
    Prologue
    Dear reader. The book contains seven chapters, the individual chapters negotiate different subject matters about the main questions, problems, and meaning of life, in which I hope everyone will find an answer about the secret of existence, why are there wars, sin and punishment, sex, love, politics, humor, misery, death or success, glory.
    The book mainly contains self-reflections, which I gained from experience, from my life, but there are parts which came from other people, like authors', philosophers', poets', doctors', churchmen's own teachings.
    First part: the secret of birth, developing, raising, learning
    Second: puberty, sex, rebellion
    Third: adulthood, sex, unfolding
    Fourth: the book's half, the dark middle-ageds
    Fifth: old age, senility
    Sixth: death, after-life
    Seventh: the creation, existence of God
    The book could be interesting for any age group.

Regardless, I did the job I was being paid to do, which was to re-install Windows and get rid of the virus they apparently had gotten. But it just goes to show the weird stuff you find that people have stored on their computers.
    I had another person who repeatedly looked at porn and got viruses and had me fix his computer multiple times. After the first 2 times I started charging him more (first and second time was something like $50 because all i had to do was insert the restore CD and let it do it's thing, which took only about an hour). Third time, I charged him $125 and the fourth time I told him to just buy a new computer. He was willing to pay me $200 to repair it the fourth time because again this was their family computer and he said something about his wife would find out if he had to buy a new computer, and she would wonder why and accuse him of, well, you know what. So I mean with the amount of money he paid me over the 2 or 3 years, he could have purchased a new computer.

    ROFL that brings back memories, I had one also Re-Tagged by Brady PCs in that same case- it was actually built by Packard Bell, but had the logo removed by Brady. It originally came with a 133Mhz Intel Pentium. I also added a 500 Mhz AMD K5² w/MMX & a LG 64x CD Reader/Writer. (Not avail in US). By the way that speed switch doesn't actually change the clock speed, it just runs to a jumper that changes the FSB bandwidth speed between 66/100Mhz. Still, it wasn't a bad PC for its day & after I custom built a non-water liquid cooler for it back around '97 w/ Windows 97 in it. I could run RPG Maker 95+ the Dev setup simultaneously which technically needed a 300mMhz + 800Mhz for the two. Ran beautifully until one of the tubes got kinked & it went up in a spectacular show of lights & pops lol.

In my country, average monthly (yes monthly) payment in the 1995 was less than $100. So everything that you can save is put in to the important PC parts - CPU, motherboard and RAM. Almost nobody have money to buy entire PC and every part goes in the endless cycle of reusing by poorer guys. As example, I used case and PSU of my second hand bought PC XT (8086 CPU) for any of my computers until Pentium II generation with some "creative" sheet metal fabrication and some minor changes to the PSU wiring. I know guy, that uses water filled glass for months as cooler for his CPU, because of lack of money even for simple 40mm or 50mm fan.
