Sony's VAIO... They Got Real Weird
Draga1 style /Nostalgia/ 😅
as an owner of one of these who bought it around when it was released; it's a piece of crap:D(there was a video of one being run over by a car, and someone commented "perfectly good file server" which summarized all it might be good for) the thing that killed it was the PowerVR gpu(the gma500; I bought a 32gb ssd, oc'd it and everything was poop).... there is no native opengl support and directx support is shotty(it has a an HD decoder so it will play 720p, and I can't recall if 1080p..... I got it to play HalfLIfe 2 at proper speed oc'd to 2ghz but it had audio issues)** I think the reason it's such crap is that I do not think that was meant for consumer products, and sony kinda shot itself in the foot.... honest advice is buy a "J4105 7 inch aliexpress mini laptop"; it's a good part better(yes it's newer but that aside) and is far more usable
"Using 30 year old technology in public." 👀 Uses 30+ year old leica film camera😅
4:40 u should try minecraft bedrock edition, it's way lighter and can run on potato
This is what Mother Nature was trying to tell to Apple last year.......... prevent older hardware to be left behind. I have a 2018 and a 2015 macbook pro. They work fine on Sonoma with their 16 GB of ram.
by bios is assigned to del 😭
4:42 HOW CAN THIS BE SO DARK?
Currently picked one up in decent shape minus the battery for use as a DVD player
I really love the design of this laptop, if it was a bit more usable I could use it as a daily driver
I WAS BORN IN 2004
it has the OG nintendo DS phat mkI aesthetic
"Lazy fast" got me 😂
I love openbsd, but I can't imagine it being my daily driver (I tried). It's a server, period. However, with the better today's Firefox, who knows.
In line with Linux's penguin theme, I'm sure Adélie Linux alludes to the Adélie penguin.
The iBook sounds like it has a little iMouse action going on in it. 🐁🤯
you can just install alpine on it, it will run smooooooooothly
Linux life saver.
I didn’t realise quite how much I would enjoy this!
That hard drive is screaming for mercy
Where it all began. Think different.
Oh wait also can you install a higher resolution display in this?
Time to port Haiku to this CPU! 😂. But also, does NetBSD run on this? ArchLinuxPOWER?
Sylvania could barely make a half-decent fan. Why they thought getting into laptops was a good idea, I don't know.
Hahaha Ubuntu 8.04 was my first linux distro too.
I wonder if it can run Haiku though
Nice try, another mental outlaw deepfake ;)
I am not at all surprised that ClassiCube compiled. It's written in C, and C development has been done on much less powerful computers.
Nice I have really nice HP laptop that has xp windows cool to install Adelie Linux: on !
Linux has gotten so much better the last few years
does it run doom?
i actually used to own this exact model of Panasonic, along with a CF-47 good machines
VM only.
Puppy is pretty cool. I didn't know they would continue to support it after all this time. I had a buddy that recommended it to me many years ago.
LOL. Let's also mention how amazing KDE Plasma is here, that it's all capable of this level of theming. Reality is that desktops already have a lot of things in common, so tweaking things these ways is not even that hard anymore.
You should run quake on it
Hello kitty.
So that's what my teammates in games use to play. That explains a lot
Ah yes windows combat evolve the best game for the xbox.
Bro the mouse in there just got burned alive😂
It's crazy how 196mb or ram was good for then. I have 16gb ddr4 and am going to upgrade to 32gb
I'm glad that my Acer pc say 'press del to enter bios setup' on the bottom left of the screen.
This would have been a beast in the DOS days
Linux pretending to be windows on a apple computer, this is a true software orgy int it!!!
I can't imagine how bad windows ran on this thing before you uninstalled it lol
i used void linux 32-bit on my pentium m laptop from 2005
Do these support DMA?
I just found one of these in the trash today and the case itself has me enticed. Ready to upgrade it as a server pc/data storage pc. Thanks for the video
