  • RetroDECK 0.10.0b Is a Ground-Up Rewrite, Not Just an Update

    Jump

  • I worry that one day all rambley people on the Internet will be assumed to be AI. Wrote more than 3 sentences and used proper capitalization? Must be a bot. I, at least, I still have my spelling and grammar mistakes to remind people I'm human.

  • It's been on my todo to check out RetroDeck. The screenshots on flathub look good. If it makes configuration and settings easier than retroarch than it will be great. I feel like retroarch is designed with the worst possible defaults for every single setting.

  • I had half a leftover cheese steak. Used the air fryer to reheat it, it made the meat and bread nice and crispy. It was better than the first time.

  • Mine is on a map, but in a radius of around 10 miles. Close enough to let people know I'm here, but not accurate enough to easily track me down.

    That said, if someone wanted to hunt me down, they certainly could triangulate me pretty quickly.

  • Individuals don't pay their own taxes, their employers do. When you "pay your taxes" at the end of the year, you are just paying difference between what you should have paid and what you did pay. The exception being contract workers.

    And if you don't pay your taxes, the government can just seize the money from your bank accounts. Of course, if everybody stopped paying, employers included, the federal government would have a hard time processing it all, but if it wasn't a sudden massive stop, they would just start raiding people's bank accounts, probably without due process.

  • World's Best-selling Video Game Consoles

    Jump

  • There was also a pretty aggressive format war between BluRay and HDDVD that tempered demand for a little while. I bought a launch PS3 as well, in part because of BluRay.

    I also think it was a time where not everyone had an HD TV, nor did most people see a huge difference between DVD and BluRay, so there just wasn't quite the demand compared to VHS vs DVD. Aside from the graphical stepup to DVD, it also didn't need to be rewinded and didn't take up nearly as much space. I think those two were big selling features, that the DVD to BluRay transition just didn't have.

  • If I'm ever sworn in to something, I want it to be on a VHS recorded copy of the "Drumhead" episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation. If that isn't available, "Measure of a Man" is also acceptable.

  • The Best-Selling Video Games Since 2020

    Jump

  • Everyone is allowed their own opinion. So I'm not going to say you are wrong for disliking it, but I completely disagree.

    I consider Super Mario World to be the best in the franchise, and Wonder was probably better. I loved the game. I found most of the "New Super Mario" (The 2D series) games bad, or at least missing the magic of the first games with tight controls and well thought out levels. Wonder was a return to that.

  • There are several "smart" technologies that are designed to be local. In my house, I have an old Dell Micro PC that has a zigbee antenna on it. All of my smart lights and switches are zigbee. Zigbee is a low power, offline, wireless meshing standard for IOT that doesn't have any concept of "internet" or "routing". It all runs through home assistant, a privacy respecting home automation platform. Home Assistant also plugs into lots of other devices in my house.

  • NFC payments are nice, but honestly I could use a case with a credit card shoved in it to get the same effect. A good camera is important, but the "screen mirroring" of Android Auto and Apple Car Play are hard to go without.

    Especially since most modern cars don't allow you to replace the stereo. I've got a double-din, I could mount a tablet or raspberry pi, setup some sort of a system to automatically turn on hotspot on bluetooth connect, sync my podcasts between phone and car, and I'd have something about 80% of the way there and about 90% more janky.

  • On that side it isn't obvious at all. It blend in with the window buttons and looks like it is just a plastic panel. A design flourish or convenience, not a functional lever.

  • ChromeOS is pretty far from normal Linux. It's closer to something like Android. Uses the Linux kernel, but doesn't bring the freedom, flexibility, or even GUI tool that come with a Linux desktop. SteamOS does come with all of those.

    And, importantly, improvements and software for SteamOS is, generally, improvements and software for most Linux distros.

  • Every 4-5 prints? What are you doing to your printer? I rarely even alcohol wipe down my plate. I have one side marked for PLA and the other for PETG (Since I've found the PETG residue tends to cause PLA not to stick). The only time notably clean my plate is when I accidentally forget to flip it between material changes or I touch it in the build area.

  • That's how a lot of episodes of Star Trek worked. They would adapt SciFi short stories to the Star Trek universe. It's a great way to both get great stories and support authors. I don't think the "short story" publishing machines still run, unfortunately.

    Heck, now that I think of it, there was actually a DS9 episode about a short story publishing company.
