@Cahatstrophe2@isometry.group: you’ve heard of two factor authentication. you’re heard of three factor authentication. now get ready for just never being able to fucking log in at all
I’m nostalgic about my 486,but I don’t miss it. I had the 25 Mhz, MEGAHERTZ not GHz version and it was pretty damn slow. The upgrade to the 100Mhz chip was great but it wasn’t until multicore CPUs before I felt that computers got fast enough for me.
It all depends on what you want to do with it. I had plenty of great games and applications on my 486 DX4.
Also, nowadays you can swap out the old spinning rust with a BlueSCSI or PicoIDE and get much faster disk access.
