ec0a fully CNC’d steel reform would truly be something to behold, like bring back the luggable laptop01:45
vkoskivReform Handle add-on (with "PORTABLE" written in bold letters)01:46
ec0yes!01:46
vkoskivI have a 286 luggable, and the text on it clarifies that it is, indeed, portable :D01:46
ec0it’s important to clarify to people that it is indeed portable, despite every other indication that it is not01:47
ec0maybe you can retrofit a reform motherboard into the 286 :)01:48
vkoskivI collect and maintain vintage computers, so I am one of those people that think these systems should be kept mostly unmodified01:48
vkoskivAt least no permanent mods.01:48
vkoskivAll those iBook G3s that were absolutely trashed to make very awkward to use iPad cases are a tragedy in my view.01:49

vkoskivReversible mods are very cool though. I'm all for that.01:49
ec0That’s really cool! Yes I agree those kind of mods should be reversible. I mostly have older machines which are still kind of usable but an upgraded board would keep them out of eWaste, which is kind of a passion of mine01:51
ec0And yes I think people trashing cool old machines like that are a total waste too01:52
jfredA Reform handle would be hilarious and wonderful01:55
jfredit's chunky enough01:56

sevanI wonder if this will allow portal to be played on the reform http://ptitseb.github.io/gl4es/23:39
joschnot on the imx8mq unless i'm doing something wrong or unless there is a bug that can easily be fixed23:41
joschi tried gl4es with some games and always just got a black screen23:41
q66the cpu and gpu are both too potato to allow it to meaningfully work regardless 23:41
sevanjosch: understood. will report back if I try it.23:43
q66the cpu is like a PC from 2003 and then you throw emulation on top of it and it just becomes impractical to do such stuff 23:44
sevanq66: hmm, the library is targetting much older and less powerful hardware (rpi, pocket, ..)23:45
q66the api working doesn't matter23:45
q66the game itself is too heavy 23:45
sevanah, you mean portal?23:46
q66right23:46
sevanunderstood.23:47
q66the frame rate will be unplayable even if you get it to work 23:47
joschfor comparison, runescape graphics run with 7-9 fps on the imx8mq: https://community.mnt.re/uploads/default/original/1X/1938ba4704c4910888bfc52c526c848aa13268fc.jpeg23:47
q66yeah portal is gonna be several times heavier :P23:47
joschand the client is native arm64 and doesn't go through wine and some sort of emulation23:47
q66even without emulator 23:48
joschyes23:48
q66and with emulator you'll get maybe 50% of native performance at most even with a good dynarec23:48
joschstardewvalley works smoothly! :)23:48
sevanjoking: so what you're saying is we need to look at overclocking?23:48
q66so basically you are taking cpu with the power of a 2003 mid tier PC, and then halving it 23:48
q66the gpu is probably comparable to desktop stuff from that era too23:49
q66if you wanna emulate games, you should go for late 90s23:50
q66stuff like unreal, original half life etc may work pretty decently23:51
joschthere is a screenshot on mastodon of Lukas playing HL23:51
sevanI'm slowly playing thimbleweed park on my reform which is set in the late 80s :)23:51
