Sid came in from the wet, snuck into my room and curled up on my dressing gown, with a celebratory "meeOOW?"
Kami is curled up on my spare bed clothes across the room.

@pup_hime I love it. thank you! :D
@pup_hime oh my gosh

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
@BatElite oh my gosh <3
@Nine What did it do? Repeatedly fire every keyboard key?
@Alyx buton make comptuerbox go fast
@AzureHusky *"we're up all night to pet pupy" repeated over and over masterfully autotuned to the song that is playing*
