25 years ago, 9/11 wasn’t a big deal.
If you think that’s unwelcoming, applications are even more so. Most people don’t want to fill out an essay just to be allowed to participate.
If I had to fill out an application, I wouldn’t be here, and I’m sure a lot of others wouldn’t be either.
That’s not to say that better methods shouldn’t be implemented though.
I imagine they don’t necessarily always fail explosively. I don’t know how often this stuff actually happens.
I ran it perfectly on a 33MHz 486 with 4mb RAM for a long time. Even Doom II with some of its heavier maps ran fine.
But the point was that the hardware requirements were low enough that it could be ported to just about any hardware. It ran on SNES which was like 4MHz
The reason Doom got a reputation that it can run on anything is that it did run on just about anything.
The original requirement was for a 386 CPU which ran between 12 and 40 MHz. The 386 was launched in 1985. That means that at the time the Doom was released, it could run on 8-year-old hardware.

I use youtube without logging in, and it runs normally. If I use a private window, that’s when I get a delay when loading videos.
I don’t have anything important to back up, I would just like to avoid reinstalling everything, particularly my Steam library.
If I can save myself the trouble, that’s all I want. I know Windows doesn’t like that kind of upgrades and you end up with a ton of useless drivers sitting around for nothing, but I haven’t been on Windows in a couple years.
