Yeah, that’s why I didn’t speculate as to whether 5.25" or 3.5" was more likely, just that 8" would have been unlikely. We don’t know how old the systems are, but I suspect you’re right; the supply of 3.5" diskettes would have stuck around much longer, too.

They said systems dating back to the 80’s, so I’m gonna guess that 8" are out, they didn’t last all that long once 5.25" came along.

Damn, that brought back some memories from elementary school; good times.

rofl, even.

Professionally, I’m a teacher in a subject area totally unrelated to IT. My only formal training was a high-school program that taught me networking (in the days before wifi was common), and an intro to C++ course during college. Everything I’ve learned since has been piecemeal and self-taught. I’m forever grateful to those with the proper training who write up guides, answer questions, and generally help out those who don’t have that training.

If Amazon sales of “MP3 players” are indicative it’s simmering; I see a handful with over 1-2K sales per month (assuming we can trust those numbers, it is Amazon after all). I imagine it’s going to be a bit muted for a while due to the memory and storage price gouging and that may push more people towards CD’s, which are already seeing a resurgence.

Quite true; this seems to be the standard practice, however, for companies when they want to keep the high prices hidden from casual viewing and commentary.

A student who graduated from my high school had their admission to a university rescinded for things they said and did in a Facebook group for accepted students.

They don’t want the bad press of openly gouging people for that, especially with how bad prices are already.

From a quick look at the documentation, if the hardware has WiFi capability you can configure OPNsense to be an access point as well. Personally, I keep the two separate: I have a small N200-based box as my OPNsense router and a separate access point running OpenWRT for the wifi devices on my network.

I’m assuming they mean those with 401k’s or other managed retirement accounts.

There was indeed an earlier Prey game: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prey_(2006_video_game)

Perhaps Earthsiege and Earthsiege 2; I played those a ton back in the day. Also, I haven’t thought of Castle of the Winds in years, that brought back a pleasant wave of nostalgia!
