In 1986, you had to sit and wait for 20 minutes for a game to load from a Commodore 64 tape player. In 2026, you have to sit and wait for 20 minutes for it to "compile shaders". It's been 40 years, and we are still waiting...!!

@martin_ueding Hehe ... I have all my old dos games in a folder right here on my laptop too. So many good games, and yes. Command Keen is in there too :)
I don't think I have ever had an audio device that wasn't ruined by Window's 'Audio Enhancements'. I bought new pair of Bose QC Ultra Gen 2 headphones, and they sounded terrible, but only in Windows. Turns out it was "Audio Enhancements" as soon as I turned that off, the headphones sounded like normal again.
Having a small enclosed south-facing garden with big windows is nice... and hot!!! ... 40.2 degrees!
A bit warm today...
@Jilly5 Thank you. And she is a puzzle enthusiast :)
@Ruth_Mottram Thank you! :)
So... I designed a jigsaw puzzle, based on picture I took of my mom 20 years ago. It was my birthday present to her this year.
