@pup_hime oh my gosh

holy crap

I...

that's AMZING. That's so friggin daft and absolutely a marketing ploy like "shit we can't sell this if we tell the truth, let's say it's a TURBO button and that it's getting double the speed of the computer!"

@pup_hime oh heck I am definitely up for learning some truth about turbo buttons. *bounces excitely* tell me more please??

@Alyx of course these days they're probably completely unnecessary since basically I'm pretty sure 99% of people who owned a pc with a turbo button just left the damn thing constantly in turbo mode anyway. because...

gotta go fast

@Alyx I THINK what the deal was is that typically this was around the time when the maximum speed of a pc was like... 25 mhz or something. maybe 66 tops... So I guess to preserve cpu lifetime (because most chips didn't need/use heatsinks or fans and were okay with passive cooling from jsut their surface) they underclocked the cpu by default, sothe cases often had a Turbo Switch that would ramp it up to full speed??

that's just my theory tho

why don't we have turbo buttons on pcs anymore

this is a travesty

pc gotta go fast

@cozykaffe@snouts.online this depends

Hard candies? P. much anything aside from citrus flavours (they're always a bit ouchie... except sherbet lemons, those are amazing)

Soft chewy ones?? I personally find citrusy flavours to be the best with those.
