AFAIK Next OS was discontinued about 30 years ago. Although some of it was used in OSX.

Google "connecting 2 computers with USB"

If you have two PCs with USB ports, you can connect them to one another using a special type of USB cable called a “bridging” cable. You can also technically connect two Macs via USB, but you'll need to add a USB-to-Ethernet adapter and Ethernet cable to the mix.

There are also articles about it:

We do it routinely with our phones (some of us), I admit IDK why it can't be just as easy between 2 computers?

I know it's not the same process, but I've been hearing about silicon degradation for at least 2 decades now, but I've never seen evidence that it's actually a thing.
By the way, I also have an Amiga 500 from late 80's, that is still working! If silicon degradation was actually a thing, how is that even possible? Obviously they can't last forever, but for sure they have always been able to last way beyond the point where they become obsolete.
Airports sometimes still use equipment from the 70's and 80's too. So I doubt degradation is actually a thing, even though modern processes may not be able to last for 60 years, I maintain that degradation in just a couple of years should be impossible.

Apparently due to silicon degradation.

It's funny, because I have never experienced that, and I've always OCed and over volted my CPU's. My current CPU is a 7 year old Ryzen R5 1600, that I have been running with both OC and higher voltage too. Every CPU I've had for 40 years now, has been replaced because they became obsolete. I've worked as an IT consultant for 10+ years in the 90's and 00's, and NEVER experienced silicon degradation. All sort of other problems, like faulty soldering when led became illegal, and capacitors when fake poor quality Chinese capacitors found their way into production. There is no way silicon degradation should be an issue within a short time span of a couple of years.

Anyways as it looks now it doesn't seem like a good idea to buy Intel.

How is this funny? 8 Upvotes at current writing???

This is amazing to find out now after 7 years:) I actually adjusted voltage manually on my Ryzen R5 1600, and it became 100% reliable, apparently the fix you mention prevent voltage below 1v at idle. I wondered why my CPU wasn't reliable unless I made manual OC with some voltage tweaks?

I never looked it up, because my OC solved the issue, but I always thought it was a bit weird.

Poor dog.

But that was pretty funny. ;)

For sure instead of having your child scarred for life from a vaccine like the picture shows, a mild case of death is preferable.

Stay safe out there, vaccines contain stuff with long words that sound dangerous. There are also many rumors that vaccines can cause all sorts of weird things you wouldn't believe.

In case you wonder, this is sarcasm.
