Almost everything was web based. Being in computer science i did have to write code and compile executables that my TAs running Windows could run; so it wasn't perfectly smooth. There was also Respondus Lockdown, but I could borrow a laptop from the library to use it.
For what it's worth my i9-13900 was experiencing serious instability issues. Disabling turbo helped a lot but Intel offered to replace it under warranty and I'm going through that now. Customer support on the issue seems to be pretty good from my experience.
Oldest by release is my NES which I got recently as a sort of gift sort of "Well I'm not using it" from a family member.
Oldest in terms of owned by me the longest is my SNES which I got for Christmas when I was about 8-10 along with a CRT, I remember that Christmas quite fondly.
I don't find myself often going through the effort to play my retro consoles anymore with projects taking up a lot of my time. If I had the time, however, I'd happily use the consoles over emulating, which I do frequently.
This is clearly a typo of some kind and I interpreted it to the sentence "I don't think Russians are human". With the use of plural pronouns after this point, my misinterpretation caused the entire point of your comment to be warped which is how I came to the "sweeping generalizations" conclusion.
While this person's mindset here is reprehensible; try to avoid making sweeping generalizations based off a few encounters. It's destructive and can be quite hurtful.
So you have a product that you've made into a system for getting answers. And then you couldn't be bothered to try and sanitize training data enough to get your answer system's new headline feature from spreading blatantly incorrect information? If it doesn't work, maybe don't ship it.
Impressive! Try getting in touch with the ABC crew or pannenkoek2012! Seeing as many of the levels require: numerous frame-perfect inputs, making tons of object clones, and absurd analog stick precision. I'm sure they'd love to learn how you did it RTA!
