jesus christ I'm an antique crank but complaining that people no longer have to do their own irq configuration and that this is bad is a bit far even for me

dont forget to set the right IRQ with SET BLASTER in your autoexec.bat

The best part is, this post that's all about technical purity has a weird technical inaccuracy in it. She mentions "IRQ levels" a couple of times when she means just "IRQs"; IRQ _level_ is the name of a concept in the Windows NT kernels, it doesn't appear at all in the DOS systems being fetishized.

Make them figure out IRQ conflicts. It builds character.
I don't think children should have phones. They should have huge beige desktop computer with "Windows 9x Operating System", "Dedicated 3D accelerator", and "SoundBlaster compatible sound card"

I’ll say again, In IRQ & AFG, our own troops would render aid to & assist in medevac of enemies who had just tried to kill them in a firefight.

They treated them better than ICE treats fellow citizens.

That’s what being professional & supporting the rule of law looks like.

Några på jobbet här har problem med en IRQ-konflikt i en dator. Otroligt 90-talskodat problem! Jag rådde dem att byta till IRQ 7 på Soundblaster-kortet.

Mention "IRQ settings" to a gamer of a certain age & watch their eyes go glassy & their breathing start to quicken.
oh, and if you're a PC gamer, your game now runs fine 95 percent of the time. this was not the case in the 1990s.

Mfs would melt if they had to deal with IRQ port assignments these days.

What?

Man, what IRQ is your Soundblaster assigned to?

Ready for three (!) days (!!) of in-person streams (!!!) live from New York (!!!!) with @patrickklepek.bsky.social, @robzacny.bsky.social, @cado.bsky.social, friends! Let's start by making sure we don't have IRQ conflicts!

SOUND BLASTER 16 IRQ 5

I figured out why I was getting audio stuttering at 256 buffer size... irqbalance was putting both the amdgpu and xHCI (audio interface) IRQs on CPU#0!!!! amdgpu seems to be a hog...

After messing around with the SMP affinities, it's pretty solid. And the CPU usage bars look nice ^^

Youngsters these days never had to battle irq conflicts to get online and it shows.

As long as you don't have to setup dma and irq for the sound blaster... 😂

IRQ conflict
Without revealing your actual age,what's something you remember that if you told a younger person they wouldn't understand?

Tired: choo-choo-choosing you

Wired: You're the IRQ 5 to my DMA 1

Age verification?
I remember when you had to manually set an IRQ and memory range to install hardware in a computer. I have edited CONFIG.SYS
Age verification?
I have an AOL email address.
Age verification?
I take vitamins

They need to know the pain of having to resolve IRQ conflicts by moving jumpers, daggum it.

you think you know computers?? you don't even know what IRQ your sound card is on

a very quick summarisation of ADHD for computer scientists:

EVERYTHING SENDS AN IRQ

"You just need to get Flinge 8.0 and compile a Kumbara script with ~imp.dd on a partitioned IRQ drive" WOULD YOU PEOPLE LISTEN TO YOURSELVES?

I want an icon to click and then it's Linux
