My mom's Compaq laptop had Vista Basic on it and it was absolute hot garbage.
I survived with it for years. An aunt has a Packard Bell with the original Vista Starter install, used probably less than a dozen times, kept on a bag.
I make the contention that, perhaps for someone, knowing what copputers look like may help them find exploitable weaknesses in the systems. Thus, this kind of video is worth making.
While watching the part about the SDVO chip, I remembered that I had already heard about it a long time ago, because Apple used a card like this (ADD2) in their Intel Mac DTKs from 2005. Apparently these machines have a GMA 900 chipset that can only generate VGA natively, and Apple needed DVI since their monitors did not have a VGA input.
It still think it’s pretty funny that a computer chip can generate analog signals natively but needs external circuitry to generate digital signals.
"So let's hook up a video source" And I don't know what I was expecting, but I guess I forgot it was you until you pulled out that Very Gravis Camera and then I was like, oh, yes, of course, that sort of camera 🤣
