FreeDOS puts out first new version in six years

Re: "It installs to a FAT32 partition"

I'd use an SD card with an adapter, much easier!

Valheim: How the heck has more 'indie shovelware with PS2 graphics' sold 4 million copies in a matter of weeks?

It's great to see a linux version OOTB! I'd pretty much burned out of this sort of game on WoW years ago but for the price (and a native 'Nix version) I'll probably get it just to support the Devs.

Dad to kids: I've decided you don't get to take over the family business. Kids to Dad: Who wants to run Samsung anyway?

Agreed. He clearly hasn't bought enough politicians.

What do you call megabucks Microsoft? No really, it's not a joke. El Reg needs you

Triple E.

Still waiting for your Atari retro gaming console? You're not alone: Its architect has just sued the biz for 'non-payment'

It's a shame - I know there's not really a need for this but it woulda been kinda cool to have.....I'd probably get the joystick at least just for old times sake. Hope (against expectation) that everyone gets paid.

Next year's Windows 10 comes bounding into the Slow Ring, which means 19H2 waits in the wings

Uneasy rest the buttocks on the iron throne. Profits plunge 14% at Sky UK and Ireland

So best part of 100 quid a month AND adverts?

Adblock Plus blocked from attending ad industry talkfest

Full page ads - if I can't read the content why go to the site?

Video - auto plays (usually at full volume) a deffo no. Had an android app that used to play an unskippable video played at full volume even if the phone was on silent. Uninstalled.

Stench of confiscated dope overwhelms Catalan cop shop

The police union complaint says of the pungent whiff of illicit high: "What will people who come to report incidents think when they enter the police stations and smell such a strong odour?"

Well probs - 'Hey that'd be a great place for a kebab van'!

Microsoft will explain only 'significant' Windows 10 updates

I've been pure linux at home for several years now and can't ever see myself going back to a M$ OS - I was gonna take a look at 10 - cos initial reports were sounding promising so a duel boot on a spare HD wouldn't hurt. The you shalt not chose your updates happened. The data slurping etc. Now they won't tell you what the updates they force on you actually do?

F*ck that tbh.

Linux does all my needs - especially now Valve have made steam Linux native and the few games that aren't on linux wine takes care of - a previous poster mentioned WoW - works just fine under Wine.

My 2 cents

Four phone hijack bugs revealed in Internet Explorer after Microsoft misses patch deadline

Boffins run iOS apps on Android hardware

It's doubtful Apple will ever see things that way and, should Cider ever pour out into wide use, one imagines Cupertino would find a way to take it off the menu. ®
