"Windows for WorkCubes"

Michael MJD did a video on this recently, showing off necessary modifications on a vanilla GameCube and the installation procedures: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ESV3Qib8eJI

Michael MJD plays with some cursed setups. I enjoy how he presents the struggle.

I post a lot of links to HN. It's a hobby - I have lots of RSS feeds in NetNewsWire.

Double posts do happen, HN's algorithm allows it. Occasionally a post that got little attention will get boosted up to the front page after a few days.

But I didn't post another copy of this link a few hours ago, and I've never had HN create a duplicate post way later - no clue what's going on here...

Wasn't that the kid that got busted for the Nintendo Gigaleaks? And then claimed his mental health problems "made him do it"?

They also ported NT to G3/G4 Apple hardware: https://github.com/Wack0/maciNTosh

You can scoff at the defense's arguments, but the prosecution's arguments were even more absurd.

> Mr Reid told the court the attack was not discovered until two months later, and cost Nintendo £1.4 million in repairs to its systems.

If the systems are insecure, they would have needed to be 'repaired' anyways! Revealing an insecurity doesn't "cost" anything, even if the method by which the insecurity is revealed is not what one would describe as responsible disclosure. The media got its sensational tidbit for the headline, but it's good the judge had more sense than trying to ruin a bright kid's life for leaking some 20+ year old prototypes and concept art.

That's correct, same person.

Windows NT — that’s some nostalgia. Choosing it over ReactOS somehow makes it feel even more genuine.

Does reactos even target powerpc?

Update: no, the answer is no.

It may be possible to port it to other architectures but the only build targets are i386 and amd64. I suspect a powerpc build would be a huge messy project.

arm64 ReactOS boots all the way to desktop with it being on the way to upstream too.
