That doesn’t really sound like an essential part. I don’t really care about the box art and I have a looot of stuff loaded on there. It’s the first and only distro where I didn’t have to tinker with too many things just to get a good experience, it just works.

Not sure what you mean. You just put the roms in the right folders and it shows alphabetically per system type.

I can recommend Rocknix, so any device compatible with that, which fits inside your budget.

If they knowingly sell to EU customers, then EU law applies. 2 year warranty, and first 6 months burden of proof on the seller for defects.

My kids play fortnite and I sometimes join them. Was watching some tournament on a stream and the “meta” at a high level of this game is just completely bonkers.

I use an RCA switch. 4 input and 1 output. Also easier to change an input on this box than on the TV.
Has a very satisfying tactile click to the buttons.
- Comment on Microsoft finally admits almost all major Windows 11 core features are broken 1 week ago:
On Linux there is “onedriver”, a 3rd party onedrive client. Works great, but iirc not with sharepoint shares linked in your onedrive folder.
- Comment on Microsoft finally admits almost all major Windows 11 core features are broken 1 week ago:
Could be, my kids have identical pc’s, but the disks are different. One has a slower ssd and its symptoms are exactly how you described, I knew it was slower but it’s all I had around. Both pc’s have SATA ssds. We’re saving for new disks, which I’m sure will alleviate the symptoms.
At work a similar problem with Windows server. The hosting company changed the IO tier and like snow these issues disappeared. Clicking start and waiting for it to open would take a minute, completely unacceptable, but ultimately fixed by having faster storage.
I’m not saying Microsoft is doing good work, I’m suggesting a workaround until they do, which we both know is very probably never.
They already pushed out older hardware with Windows 11, they won’t care about slower storage options.

I have that problem on my son’s pc. It’s definitely an io issue. A faster disk would solve the problem.

Of course he’s cool with AI taking his job, he’s got a golden parachute for early retirement
- Comment on Windows 11 could actually become the same kind of mistake Sony made with the PS3 2 weeks ago:
Nobody sees it that way, nobody notices what we notice. They don’t know any alternatives, it has new features so it’s innovating, it does what they want/need. I hear no complaints, only from tech people who are invested in privacy and digital sovereignty. That’s the reality.

I didn’t know those existed. I read they just stay at 1.5 until they run out. Now I’m not sure what mine are, if they exhibit this behavior 🤔

You can find YouTube videos of people doing this for the GG TV Tuner. Usually involves a VCR iirc.

The biggest culprit is probably the CCFL tube backlight.

Fwiw, should you need it, there are AA lithium batteries with a usbc slot for charging and they deliver 1.5v. I bought a pack out of curiosity and was very pleasantly surprised.
- Comment on TIL there was a TV tuner attachment for the Game Gear! 3 weeks ago:
I have this. It’s been on my wishlist ever since I was little and now that i have some disposable income I bought it. Unfortunately the analog signal has been disabled for years, but there’s a jack on the tuner that allows you to connect composite video (with a special cable to go from the yellow, red and white to a single 3.5mm jack).
I played some Xbox on it, for the novelty. The screen is small, the resolution is low, the lcd isn’t very clear in some cases, … I love it.
There are special kits to replace the screen with a modern crisp led screen, but they are not compatible with the tuner, something to keep in mind.

I have several game gears so have some first hand experience.
90s batteries didn’t last long. Regular batteries are 1.5V, rechargeable are 1.2V. When freshly charged they can be around 1.4V, but the game gear will quickly “detect” the voltage dropping and start indicating low battery.
Older batteries didn’t hold as much charge as modern batteries do. You can go hours now with rechargeable batteries, but it used to be different.
As a kid, I had a game gear fanny pack that held the device, some games and all the batteries I could cram in there, which was a lot.

My homemade pizzas are always a mountain of toppings. I usually go with bell peppers, mushrooms, fresh onions cut in rings, and (un)canned tuna. Sometimes artichoke if I come by it, and/or olives if I have em around. Finish with mozzarella… now I’m hungry :(
