@foone this is both genius and insane.

I'm not smart enough to pull this off so I'm just opting to go with "never upgrade past Windows 10 ever" instead.

@foone my RTX 3070 should be able to handle this "e mail" that you speak of

@foone

once again, computers only need more resources because of grifters. it started with spam, and now here we are with this crap.

@crashglasshouses yeah. apparently Microsoft thinks hard drive space grows on trees, too

minor downsides:

1. can't use standard GUI elements. gotta redesign it from the ground up based on 3D primitives.
   2.gotta be fullscreen and 16bit color
2. output quality is only VGA, and I think it maxes out at 800x600

foone OP , vor 28 Tagen

on the plus side, it's physically impossible for any AI bullshit to screenshot it, unless you accidentally attach a VGA capture device or point a camera at the monitor

or if windows 11 knows how to call grLfbLock(). but I don't think it does

@foone My experience so far is that Windows 11 doesn't know how to do anything that you actually want.

@foone I want my computer to only communicate to me via morse code using the speaker on the motherboard.

foone OP , vor 28 Tagen

@thomasjwebb or make it work using the lights on your keyboard, pull off the Cryptonomicon exfiltration

@foone I'm now imagining something that embeds a colony of Langford Parrots in the image that crashes all known video cameras...

@foone Ad 1.: Isn't this what Dear Imgui does, just with OpenGL instead of Glide? Or am I mistaken?
