That is quite surprising given that a Pentium 166MHz had zero issues playing mp3s in winamp, 1998 hardware.



1998 hardware meets 2022 code


At least watchOS doesn't run Electron.


Yet


Hell you could play mp3s on a 486 if you put winamp's decoder in half quality


Maybe, except Pentiums were the current generation when winamp came into the scene, hence why I made a mention to it.


Did it have a five gram battery?


How do you think it would keep BIOS settings stored in RAM between power cycles?


More like 1995 hardware.


Could be, the date I mentioned is when I could afford buying a P166, and I didn't bother to check the interwebs for the release date, now I have gone and found it, depending on the exact variation from P5 or P6, it could have been released between 1995 and 1997.
