@karlauerbach yeah I'm just curious if there's an inexpensive way to plug my cintiq into this old machine. the cintiq can do mini hdmi, so a dvi to mini hdmi adapter is probably the cheapest way, and then I'll probably want a card for the usb-c for just the regular digitizer stuff, assuming a usb2/usb-c adapter wouldn't be suitable
@karlauerbach plugging one thing in instead of two would be more convenient though

hmmm ok it looks like pci express video cards that have usb-c ports on them seem to generally be roughly the size of a boat, so this plan isn't going to work
the main open question is whether or not an old core 2 duo is fast enough to run mollytime (i'd certainly like it to be!), but that is easy enough to confirm.

@aeva well I *remember* them being fast...

@ghosttie they hold up quite well if you're quick with a knife, but I've been developing mollytime on a fairly beefy computer so how it scales down is an unknown at the moment

Anyone want to help me with my computer? :3
I've got an old mini PC that most likely is running a core 2 duo, 8 gb of ram, has a VGA and DVI port for the integrated intel graphics, a pci express x16 (and probably another smaller pci express slot, didn't think to take note) on it.
If I were to find a PCI express card to add usbc ports, would I be able to have it send display port over usbc, or do I need to have a graphics card that can support that?
EDIT: ans is I need a GPU that supports it
@aeva You can get a much much much newer mini-PC used on eBay for a less than a hundred that already supports it (or has a proprietary slot that one can be installed... Looking at you HP). Although, I get the feeling this may be a challenge to make the old PC usable again? I tried to see for myself and only saw that you have cute cats and the same air purifier I do. XD

@MontgomeryGator yeah it's an old PC that still works that I don't mind putting in some work to make it useful. If this doesn't work out, I'll probably put windows 98 or xp on it and load it up with old software

@aeva Hmm, ever try Haiku? It's an interesting OS that should run smoothly on that hardware. Not super useful, but it's what's left of BEos and an interesting look at a future that could have been with PCs.

@MontgomeryGator I've been meaning to give it a try, this would probably be perfect for it actually

@MontgomeryGator I wonder if it supports my soundblaster card 🤔

@aeva It looks like later soundblaster cards need a driver from the package manager.

@MontgomeryGator ah, interesting, but there is a driver?

#Zelensky, rivolgendosi al parlamento svedese, ha affermato che il "problema principale" che devono affrontare i colloqui di pace è la richiesta di #Putin di riconoscimento legale del territorio che ha "rubato" all'Ucraina. "Ciò violerebbe il principio di integrità territoriale e sovranità", afferma insistendo sul fatto che "i confini non possono essere modificati con la forza".
"Continuate a fare pressione sulla #Russia. La Russia continua a uccidere persone", conclude.

@aeva it could require a 32bit UEFI boot loader. I have that on an old Mac mini with a Core 2 Duo
