They weren’t cheap but I got my sennheiser Hd650s around 2004 and still use them daily.

I’ve replaced the ear pads and cord once each, otherwise they’re original.

There are sites like ratemds.com, depending on your area.

But like most internet reviews, people tend to only post negative experiences or astroturfing.

That’s not universally true. My thinkpad has the most colour accurate screen in my house. Much better then my apple laptops or pretty decent dell screens.

The issue is Lenovo will also sell absolute garbage screens, so you need to pay attention when ordering. Iirc mine was a $500 upgrade or something equally shocking.

Exactly what my name promises, no story.

Not to be argumentative, but in case you’re interested:

According to the ventoy site it supports those images, though openwrt requires a plugin and freedos seems to require using memdisk mode, though I’m less clear on the limitations there.

Ventoy is the easier answer these days IMO. Just drop ISOs on your Ventoy’d usb key and choose them from a menu at boot time.

I like to play with dos. Every once in a while I start looking for games and programs trying to recreate the computer my parents used to have.

I went through this recently in 86Box. Surprisingly fun tracking down all the drivers and setting up trumpet winsock (and DOS TCP networking… neat!) and all the other things to get windows 3.1 online and playing games.

I’m still looking for an english version of tabworks that matches what we had.

Don’t worry about school, don’t go to university. Just work any job and buy the first house you can possibly afford.

Though Google doesn’t let you dig much past the first page anymore.

“10 billion results!” It says… then 4 pages in it just goes “never mind, that’s it”

the last one is a little close to the TV show Severance as well
