True the enigma machine didn't work like that on its default firmware, but if you convert the voltage to a compatible ~0.9V and solder in a simple 32-bit silicon translation chip and melt the rest of the machine down for a case you could theoretically get it working.

I run EnigmaPi to encrypt all of my important emails.

The Analytical Engine was perfection. Anything newer is just bloat.

But can it run Doom?

It can print the letters out!

yes, you might want to wait and enjoy your frames per year.

Why would you ever need to multiply two 20 digit numbers in under 3 minutes? Is been downhill since then.

Plus, I like the sound of the cards being read both forward and backward.

TIL pacemakers, defibrillators, MRI and dialysis machines are bloat and we should let the old and sick just die

It was a joke, friend

So was my comment, but I guess it was too neurodivergent to be funny.

Oh, my bad! The wording didn't parse as humor to me.

southsamurai@sh.itjust.works · 3 pts · 274d (1 reply)

It happens :)

Something that would be said in person in a way that makes it obvious as a joke doesn't scan as well in text. Add in the divergent thinking so that even the text is different than what a neurotypical person would think of as a dark joke, and things can fall flat (or worse).

Keep at it though, humor is the only thing getting a lot of folks through life, even when it's dark

Humans are bloat. Imagine needing a huge neural network to do basic math /s

Believe it or not, it gained 10fps running on Arch... doing... whatever that thing was doing.
