  • Linux gamers: Do you ever occasionally shut down your PC?

    Jump

  • I grew up in the era of. PCs take forever to boot and sleep is good enough that when I turn it back on it’s still alive.

    Laptop Sleep, desktop depends on when I use it last.

  • Samsung Galaxy update removes Android recovery menu tools, including sideloading

    Jump

  • I feel these companies are forgetting the lessons from the mid 2000’s. When you remove the hardware features from your devices, which only the most advanced users use. It doesn’t mean you’ve locked it down, but instead invited these users to find alternative ways to bypass your security.

    PS3 had Linux support. PS3 removed Linux supper. PS3 was cracked wide open.

    Xbox One has a Dev mode, devs who wanted to play emulators on their Xboxes could. So the hardware was left be.

  • DVDs are the new vinyl records: Why Gen Z is embracing physical media

    Jump

  • I don’t care for the medium, I just want to watch my shows. In Canada we get basically the same shows as the US, but many are not available for streaming. So I want to watch Danny Phantom for example, I can’t. It’s not on any channel not streaming services.

    And the same goes for dozens of other shows ranging from obscure like Martin Mystery to the ultra popular like The Fairly Odd Parents.

    Heck even Disney doesn’t have everything.

    DVD does and it cost less than most of these services.

  • Virtual Boys are sadly fragile systems. Specifically the displays. They are glued down and the adhesive is corrosive and failing to hold up. Getting mine repaired soon.

  • No flux and my only solder tip was 3x the width of the pin and probably not hot enough.

    The only joints which matter is on the back the other are for stabilizing it. I went over to ensure there was enough solder and reflowed then for what I hoped to be a good connection.

    Jump

  • It was after I lost the second row of pins to the floor the second time that I almost threw in the towel.

    I’ve grown to respect micro solderers more after this.

  • U.S. Supreme Court finds Trump overstepped authority in imposing tariffs under emergency law

    Jump

  • And there’s a new 10% tariff.

  • Pokémon FireRed Version and Pokémon LeafGreen Version are coming to Nintendo Switch

    Jump

  • Compared to the resale prices of the originals, this is a fantastic price. But for a 20 year old re-release it’s a bit over priced.

  • Weird, not sure how I did that so quickly. Might be my network. Removed the other one.

  • Which Rhythm Tengoku (or other retro games) song do you guys consider the best option for a phone ringtone?

    Jump

  • Got the Virtual Boy switch thingy today. It's fine
