@Anorie Nein, ich bin älter!
HP van BraamIf you were wondering if you could print from a #hpux system running a #windows3 application via Wabi via JetDirect being emulated on an Oki c542 printer.
Yes, yes you can. It all just kind of works without much fuss, except that I had to change the snmp community name for my printer because the old hpux drivers don't seem to like the snmpv2 stuff?
I'm kind of floored this all works.
dylenarOk .. I really wanna try this out https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JbXkvM3b2Qg #windows3.1 #retro #vga #gpu

Christian Kent 𝘊𝘒 :＼﹥@nina_kali_nina Do you see the fonts named 'Roman', 'Modern', or 'Script'?
You wouldn't believe (actually, you would) how hard these are to google.
Anyway they're a dumpster fire but they totally work … if you are into non-intersecting polygons. This is when Adobe Type Manager was hella expensive, and TrueType was a liberating dream coming soon, from two enemies joining forces f.f.s.finally.
BTW, yes this screenshot is from Windows 3.0 Runtime (or something like that … CONTROL.EXE not found haha) but they are the fonts that Windows 3 inherited, I swear

Amazon Trail II for Windows 3.1
Michael WeissIt's about to be #patchtuesday but this one is bittersweet. This month will be my last patching my own personal #windows installations. With the upcoming end to #windows10 support, I'm migrating to #linux .
This month marks the end of my continuous personal Windows use dating back to #windows3 in 1990, 35 years ago. I went to work at #microsoft just as #windowsforworkgroups 3.11 went into beta in 1993. Through a very random set of circumstances, I gave the first press demo of #windows95, to the tech reporter for the #houstonchronicle . Years later, I managed a wonderful team for #windows7 security assurance, and I couldn't be prouder of what we accomplished.
My relationship with Windows runs deep, to say the least. But the time has come for that relationship to end. I will migrate my main computer in about a week.

Gorgeous na Shock!I've pushed myself a bit and tossed a rough tutorial on cross-compiling for #Windows3, #WindowsNT, #Windows95, and #MSDOS with #OpenWatcom up on the web zone: https://indigoparadox.zone/tutorials/watcom.html
It's late, so I don't trust my proofreading, but I've been asked about this enough where a quick and dirty tutorial has become a practical consideration. Hopefully it's useful!
Finally got this working last night, but I gave it the wrong deploy key before I went to bed... but I fixed it this morning and so now: automatic beans: https://codeberg.org/indigoparadox/mbean/releases
More platforms and projects to come, but at least I got the basic process working so that's nice.
