only if it has one of the chipsets which will allow full DMA over the isa slot, aka the intel 8xx series

the intel 865/875 is the best one as it supports a faster FSB over the older 845 and 815 chipsets

they're kinda rare tho and if it does have one, the 845 with the slower FSB is way more common then the others

athlon XPs dont support DMA over their ISA bus. the p4 can with specific chipsets

yes, even the awful netbursts have their use. and no, that use is not "spaceheater" even if they do that as a secondary function

another issue with the static linking is the larger binary sizes it causes, meaning more of my precious disk space is wasted!!! another big issue on extremely resource limited systems such as 90s equipment with hard drives measured in hundreds of megabytes. i have gentoo running on a OG pentium (coz its one of the few distros left that truely supports it, via their i486 branch) and i have a dedicated hard drive for all the package management files and other caches portage uses lmao

androgen blockers are to block testosterone production, or testosterone's bodily absorption

when you take hormones orally by swallowing, most of it gets filtered out by your liver. this is why oral estrogen sits under your tongue for 20 minutes so it can absorb into your blood directly

injections are always the superior method anyway but not everyone can get them sadly

me with dev-lang/rust

i hate rust only for this sole reason of inflating my compile times because its used in little bits and bobs of seemingly everything nowadays

also the fact it mandates SSE2 cpu instructions on x86 has put annoying roadblocks on various projects of mine...

nice driving! im interested in this even though im pretty mediocre at sim racing.

tangentim a pretty good driver IRL (dont tell the cops) but in sim racing i just suck a lot by flying off turns, understeering a bunch, and fishtailing, probably coz i cant "feel" it the same way i do irl and the paradigm is different

how could you commit such a despicable act

all the laptop OEMs are marketing "thin and light" nonsense that all it does is make interfacing the device more of a hassle and also burn your legs off easier.

i will never let go of my 1.25 inch thick chonk-top with multiple full-size ports
