Добавлен 21 окт 2006
I'm NCommander, also known as FOSSFirefighter in various parts of the Internet. I have a passion for retrotech, digital preservation, and studying the facts that help build the technological world we live in today.
In the past, I used to professionally develop the Ubuntu operating system, volunteered as an interior firefighter in Henrietta, NY, and traveled across the world living out of a backpack for years at a time. I don't know where this road is going to take me, but I enjoy making content on RUclips, and I'm always hoping to find that rare "grail in the garbage" moment whenever I start a new project.
Feel free to drop me a line on Discord or Mastodon if you've got an interesting tip, and as always, I'm wishing you all a great day.

Did you know WIndows NT was available for four architectures? Well it was, it was available for i386, Alpha, DEC MIPS, and PowerPC. More recently, Rairii got Windows NT working on PowerPC, which motivated me to finally finish my video on the subject which I had started production on over a year ago. In this video, we go through the process of building Chocolate DOOM for PowerPC, explore more of this weird platform, and deal with the absolutely poor state of QA done on the platform.

I have a really fond memory of Sun. When I was 16 y/o I registered on their page because I wanted a free copy of their OS. I never imagined they would actually deliver it to a third world country in the corners of the earth. Maybe three weeks or a month later the postman arrived asking for my name and I was even a little scared because why would I receive a letter? I totally forgot about the registration. When I opened the package it was a copy of Sun Solaris. I treasure it to this day lol. F*** you Oracle.
wc lvl?
0:46 Weird, my copy (straight up ripped from XP) of Pinball which i've installed on every system i've had since my last XP years ago... hasn't had any issues of clipping or any other bugs.
I sent my 5 user netware 2.0 license that I dumpster dove, in to NetWare and they upgraded me to the 25 user NetWare 4.11 small business edition. It was crazy that I had a 3c503 card needed to install 2.0 to be able to get the license file. Of course after i reported a bug in 4.0 it was one of the 6 critical bugs fixed in 4.11. if you ever see a NW 4.0 in the wild, user templates are users...with no passwords.
10:16 Yes
4:57 My favorite version was Windows XP 3 EX plus alpha hyper tournament edition 3: Third Strike
nice. 😁 i got the senior phone. as seen on tv. omg is it ever awful. but at the same time... you realize how much stuff you literally never did or never addressed when there was always the option to be distracted from reality. i still hate this friggin phone tho lol
Although it’s now developed by rolling donut apps.
It’s been updated and is now called pinball star.
removed in 2007? that can't be, i am not *that* old! hm, maybe we had an outdated computer back then
This was my first Linux.
This game came with usable cheats by the way. You typed them before you dropped the ball.
I used to do community service at Abraham House in the South Bronx, and a bunch of us kids used to play this game 😂 brings back so many memories
Couldn’t remember if that was toe jam guy or angry shouty kernel guy. FOSS seems to attract a lot of bad apples. I hear kernel guy has gotten better in his old age FWIW.
... mmm yah no i tried it myself by importing the original someone ELSE recompiled it to windows 7 and 8 about 2 years later. always verify your file creation times
Given that it was originally a 16bit game ported to 32 bit then ported to 64 bit plus the various versions for compatibility, something may have been messed up along the way.
Had this on the 3DO
Is this where Windows Meta Files come from ? .WMF
This was my sht
I spent so much time on this game. Oh its like a hot cup of strong tea so good.
I finally found it, the video Metal Gear Solid 2 warned me about all those years ago
That was fun, of course DOSEMU is still being actively developed under the guise of DOSEMU2
I always try to find a way to get it back
One of the all time great free games
I feel like this could be a 30 second video.
i make this comment only 4min41 into the video. maybe its touched upon later. but i do have a working version of the game on my windows 10 laptop.
But water is not wet
This game was 1 of my childhood memories
Windows is a monopolistic corporation/entity… anything for profit
The first time doing acid and seeing the screensaver on this 😂
16:00 BEST VERSION
My dad loved that game.
Interesting! I've installed both SLS (1.0.4) and Debian slink a few years ago on a 486. SLS (1.0.3) has been my first Linux distro back in 1993, followed by years with S.U.S.E. (which I hated) until discovering Caldera OpenLinux in 1999 (which was a relief). After a time with Windows as my main OS in 2008 I switched to Kubuntu. Back to the topic: My user experience with SLS was, that it took ages to configure everything, get X up and running, fix errors of the distro and built software from scratch, that wasn't in the original distro. To make matters worse updating to 1.0.4 required a new install. I learned a lot and don't regret it, but the overall experience was 3 out of 10. Debian slink on the other hand was easy to install and get running as I remember. Only thing I had to do manually was adding the DOS boot to LILO, installing a copy of StarOffice and building sshd from scratch. There even still was a working repository. That's at least 8 out of 10 for 1999. I didn't have the problem with setting up the mouse as I used a serial mouse. And I didn't have problems with bandwidth using apt as this was around 2016 or so and I already had broadband. In 1999 I would have dealt with ISDN as I have to admit. That would have been only slightly faster than 56k modems.
Ive seen that "Dont send" prompt after a game crash WAY too many times in my life. Its embedded in our memories because we were having fun in game, or just installed long awaited game and this is the conclusion to our hype. Click on "Dont send" and feel unsatisfied.

32 bit programs can run on 64 bit Windows BTW, as well as on 32 bit Windows of course. 64 bit Windows can not run 16 bit programs though, and Windows 32 bit can run 16 bit and 32 bit programs but not 64 bit programs.
OG NOSTALGIA VIBES. Between this and WMP visualizers, idk what affected my childhood more.❤
Fuck Vista. Made my life a misery.
Memories have been unlocked
Yep 😁 I remember this game. Fond memories, when all we had was a slow computer and 3 or 4 games total
I'm going to guess that you are a Cancer 🦀
What if it was meant to get canned but a bored employee just worked on it here and there and fixed it but they left it disabled anyways lol
How is it that probably the worst OS company managed to monopolize the PC world, and the production/professional world.
Hi NCommander, thanks for sharing. I remember not long ago, I saw a video about a person who rebuilt several RAM modules and tested them for fun. There I learned that there were basically two types of RAM in the 90s. These consist of EDO and FPM or fast page mode RAM modules. Both are incompatible with each other, so maybe in your case these two different types of RAM were mixed together. It seems that the computer you are using uses EDO modules.
