They definitely made more than a little money from this. For example, my ex–mother-in-law kept paying for AOL dial-up after she was already paying for AT&T DSL, thinking that was the only way she could keep using AOL. And yes, she would still log in through the AOL browser.

I did something similar, I patched a Gigabyte Z77-DS3H bios with the SAMSUNG_M2_DXE module to get a Samsung SM951 AHCI M.2 SSD working. It's not SATA and not quite NVMe, PCIe AHCI existed for a short while before NVMe became ubiquitous.

This was to enable a screamer of a Hackintosh based on Mavericks which didn't have native NVMe support at the time.

Haswell/Broadwell with embedded 128MB of eDRAM Level 4 cache are some extremely awesome hidden gems.

No you were originally correct. The Ati card mentioned was most likely a Mach64 or original Rage 3d.

I'm 100% certain your memory is incorrect. Radeon came after Rage in 2000 and was the first Ati 3D accelerator with hardware T&L. Your 1MB 2D only Ati card was most likely a Mach64 or original Rage 3d.

Ah. I was looking at these resources last week and they resolved then just fine:

But apparently not anymore.

Unfortunately no, the remote development feature is not what I mentioned or alluded to at all. Remote interpreters and docker services were supported even before 2019 in JetBrains IDEs which easily covers the articles use case.

I fail to see how this is any better than IntelliJ/PyCharms remote interpreter feature and Services tab and a proper docker-compose file. It feels like VSCode is finally catching up.

Most likely they do not have a license to distribute their product with Windows on it but on 3.11 and 95 the key 111-1111111 is considered legit. Anyone can grab a clean copy from archive.org. Looks like they could have saved future heartaches by pointing the buyers this direction and having them install the image themselves (which I consider part of the charm in retrocomputing).
