@Cahatstrophe2@isometry.group: you’ve heard of two factor authentication. you’re heard of three factor authentication. now get ready for just never being able to fucking log in at all
I’m nostalgic about my 486,but I don’t miss it. I had the 25 Mhz, MEGAHERTZ not GHz version and it was pretty damn slow. The upgrade to the 100Mhz chip was great but it wasn’t until multicore CPUs before I felt that computers got fast enough for me.
It all depends on what you want to do with it. I had plenty of great games and applications on my 486 DX4.
Also, nowadays you can swap out the old spinning rust with a BlueSCSI or PicoIDE and get much faster disk access.
I’m not saying I didn’t love it at the time. I had a great time with it (my favourite probably being Duke Nukem 3D multiplayer via direct phone call), I’m just not nostalgic for that machine. Advances just came so fast at that time.
