>>533507282Turbo button was always on, and when you pressed it, it got turned off. Basically lowers your processor clock speed so older programs (like games) could run properly.
>>533507164Shit nigga, it's got TURBO!
>>533507409Humans never looked like that
>>533507282It was designed to slow the CPU down, to make older software run (if required).But they could not call it SLOW for marketing reasons, so they make the normal mode "Turbo", and if you pushed it, it slowed it down.
>>533507282Higher clock speed. Ran the risk of damaging the CPU due to shit cooling at the time.>>533507245>I'll take my imaginary degeneracy over your antiquated freedomsPlot twist: Miku was conceived during a time these "uncslop dinosaur" machines were around.
>>533507282older games ran too fast on newer PCsyou pressed the turbo button to lower your PCs speed for those old gamesit should have been called the RETARD button akchuallyjust early 1990's things
This is how cars looked pre-mass feminization
>>533507450I look like that

>>533507495Not really. This trend is from the oil crisis, where they were using basic shapes and producing economy cars. The germans specialty is making these things even before.

>>533507164Magnetic media is neat. Something really cool about pressing iron dust into plastic tape. Like a film reel, there was a physical location for the data all organized by time.Also the magnetic head and speed controller meant you could use the same tape cassette or floppy disk, but could store more or less data in physically smaller spaces just by moving slower or having narrower tracks.
>>533507409
>>533507164All was just as gay, it was just closeted because gaybashing was acceptable and fun
>>533507282>But why this turbo button?Turbo = full clock speed(Not turbo) = clock speed limited to a known rate.Compatibility setting for running old software that used clock cycles for timing. Turbo would run the game/program too fast and it would be unplayable or break.You leave turbo on unless you need to turn it off for a specific program.

>>533507343Svol
>>533507493This is actually the correct answer. Games were written to run as fast as the hardware at the time could run them, so when newer, faster hardware was available (eg. a 486 running at 66 MHz compared to an original 8086 machine running at 5 MHz), you wanted to slow the machine down by turning the "turbo" off (toggling the clock speed down), to make the older games playable again.

>>533507495I've always thought a lot of 90's-00's cars looked like complete shit though.A bunch of warped stretching blobs. It was hard to discern them from their toys. Overhyped plastic bubbles. The edges were appealing.
>>533507164The era of the internet when there were no women or niggers, few brown people, and it was okay to call a faggot a faggot.
>>533508164>>533508191Another Yugo gem, Fićo (Ficho) kombi it had an 850 ccm, the same engine as Yugoslavian version of Topolino (that was bigger and more robust than the Italian but still a very small car) and it had only 35 hp
>>533508495
>>533507164i still have that, windows XP, nothing homosexual about it
>>533507452lol
>>533508396The cars started looking "bad" in the 80sBefore that even the cheap cars had chrome rims around headlights, various chrome stripes and ornaments and so on and in the 80s they lost all the detail
>>533507363It's actually the opposite.Back then game speed was based on clock speed. So when cpus got faster old games wouldn't work well. So they added the turbo button that switched you to the old standard cpu speed to make old games work.
>>533508495its really too bad there aren't any small engine vehicles around these days. 1L is perfectly fine for me. i was in one of picrel a few times and those things can take beating. easy to fix too.
>>533507164Better times.

>>533508541H as in N for Neutral ?But the other letters don't make sense>>533508699Yeah I saw it in the other commentsI was joking anyway but I was kind of right because the turbo is always on so it's accelerated by default

I miss the CPU thinking noises, so soothinghttps://youtu.be/JpSfgusep7s?si=VQ7zRdIrzA9P3lqxI miss the droning crackle the most ;_;
technology has exponentially improved since 1998 with tech like extremely high refresh rate monitors, OLED panels, SSDs and multi-core CPUs but the fat chudcels prefer slow ass hard drives that take a solid minute to load windows and crash frequently.
>>533507967Kind of the same thing with master and slave. Can't call it a master bedroom anymore, It is a primary bedroom. My master dives had slaves and I like it that way.
>>533511845i know what you meanhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vvr9AMWEU-c
>>533511857It would be fine if technology stopped here.
>>533511987I remember when that Russian programmer used nigger in his code, instead of slave and it made people angry lmao
>>533507164Not OP though, he was as gay
I do not miss the p2p speeds of that era
>>533507164And it will only get gayer.You will have no hardware, only a screen and the goycloud
>>533507282It make all of the characters in video games be a turbo'd color to pretend they were going faster but in reality it was just a gimmick. Everyone complained so they stopped lying
>>533512121finally hearing the roar of Gozilla after a week of working at downloading a cdr sized .iso image was one of lifes great pleasures.

>>533507461>Higher clock speed. Ran the risk of damaging the CPU due to shit cooling at the time.It wasn't due to shit cooling but more so because CPU's back then had no thermal safety measures built in and they would fry. Modern CPU's throttle or shut down when they overheat.
>>533512173They already make our dreams for us. They can give you like full control over your dreams. It’s not that fun though, because real life is so poor dude. They rape me in my dreams every few months and I have to experience having sex with a woman while I sleep, and I feel everything. It’s actually bad because I already told them not to do anything sexual. I don’t like it. Screens are like midevil tier devices for these people.
>>533512394Also because many programs and games were written for certain clock speeds and the turbo would mess them up.
>>533512285>He was talking about humans, not balkan monkeys

>>533507164Back in the day when you'd never shut your PC off, because every boot carried was a roll on whether the charge would brick your hardware.Better days though, no reason to be at the PC other than to play solitaire and minesweeper
>>533507282Like >>533507426 said, because older games' framerate were often tied to your CPU clock. Meaning nowadays playing any such game unaltered (if you can make it run in the first place) will be sped up x1000

>>533510449disgusting, a modern pc who looks somewhat like and old kino pc, like an ugly man trying to look like a real woman, it doesn't get more troonbox than that
>>533512451>and I have to experience having sex with a woman
>>533507282To slow the processor down.Programmes today are synchronised with an arbitrary clocktick.Back then, older programmes simply ran as fast as they could.Imagine a game where playing it at 240fps means the game literally runs at 4x speed, taken to the extreme.Original 8086 speed was 4,77Mhz iirc. A 66Mhz Pentium would run it 14x as fast. Too fast for games, too fast for many applications.The turbo button was created to retard the processor in cases where it's too good.Yes, the go fast button actually slows you down.
>>533507343My heart is feeling warm and fuzzy nowThanks Bruce you're based
>>533507343could be worse.
>>533507363I'm pretty sure it didn't do anything, but I set it on HI just in case
>>533507282I’m building a Z80 computer and a turbo button is on my list. Need to do more research though, presumably it’s just a matter of having a separate clock circuit and switching what is feeding the CPU. If any anons are interested it’s a really neat project and fairly cheap to get buckets of ICs (desoldered, anyway).
>>533507282Don't you wanna go fast?
>>533507343Oldfag here.I member when turning on a computer was instant. Nothing would load the A:\ drive would be ready right away, and you'd run whatever was in the floppy disk.What most people don't realize is that thing could still load instantly. Modular reusability cuts cost on some regards at the expense of other things. It's merely a different design philosophy. But we lost the technology.
>>533507164I get why they went away with A: and B: drives. But I'm still annoyed they decided dvd-rom is no longer useful to have in pcs. Even though it's still very viable even 10 years after they stopped adding them.
>>533515949Instant boot relied on the OS being on a ROM, which was a few dozen, or a few hundred of kilobytes in size, and frozen the way it was written to the ROM.Non-volatile RAM would get us back to instant boot.
>>533516318how often do people reboot? mines in suspend every night and its redy to go soon as you press a key.
up until covid started at least once or twice a year I would go into my local computer shop and if they had any replacement turbo buttons, deadpan serious just to mess with them.
>>533507164I remember how it took hours to download just one short low res clip of a cock sliding out of a gaping asshole.
>>533507164miss this lil nigga like you wouldn’t believe
>1 pbdi OP
>>533507164It was quite heterosexual indeed.
>>533507900nice
>>533516381It's not just about rebooting. It's how everything needs to install and OS is a mess of registries that gets slower and messier over time.There was a time Mac software didn't need to install. You could drag and drop it like a file on your PC, that's it it's ready to use. This wasn't just convenience, it was the standard.Software has switched to shared resources philosophy. But at what cost? Notice how we have x100 times more CPU and shit still gets laggy. Something is not right.
>>533517329yeah i get what you're saying. im pretty happy with linux using XFCE and using appimages for whatever software offers that. it looks and feels pretty similar to late 90s windows computing but without the BSOD and the gradually decreasing performance you mention. back then i used to format and reinstall a couple times a year at least.
>>533507164>less gaymore closeted
>>533507164Can't even afford to run it in turbo with energy costs these days

>>533514264you can just use a DVI -> HDMI converter. I do it on my WinXP builds that have 980s (yes XP was officially supported by 9 series GeForce)
>>533517517Look at free software like Blender. Blender is essentially fully portable, fully capable, not even heavy on hard drive. It has zero registry reliance. Uninstalling it is as easy as deleting it, no garbage left behind. Loads fast, works perfectly. If all software was like this it'd be a lot cleaner.Making everything a shared dll is bullshit.Windows is becoming such a dystopian annoyance, they risk Linux becoming a standard in the mid-term future.
>>533507164Never merge your biological body with machine
>>533518056DLL hell was a necessary evil of the times, when hard drive space was not as bountiful and cheap (before AI) as it is now. So statically compiling every binary would have filled up people's drives quickly.Nowadays its more trouble than its worth but that's the prison we've built ourselves into in many cases.
