  • welp, it’s another story how useful is this picture 😄, it just came to my mind and brought me some nostalgia in the meantime towards the artist. (yeah, saying artist in this case is strange, but otherwise who made this is a digital artist, or was, idk how active still)





  • Nah, bro 500 pounds is INSANE. I can get a nice v1 Switch used around 150-200 pound where I live and usually consoles, especially Nintendo here are expensive, even second-hand, so you may really reconsider this pricetag.

    Also, being a v1 Switch isn’t a too extravagant thing nowadays since all of the Switches can be hacked with a Raspverry Pi Pico board variant that is around 3 bucks each.


  • If I understand all this correctly, Mozilla teamed up with Meta to create a method that helps advertisers in a user privacy-friendly way. Aside from the initial trigger people have here reading the word “Meta” or by just the existence of ads, is there any problematic with this, without going really deep into tinfoil hat territory?

    Also, am I understanding it correctly that the outrage is mainly because this feature is enabled by default? So again, a function that helps protecting your privacy, is enabled by default? Because, it seems most people just offended by only this fact alone.

    But I’m maybe missing something here.








  • Many years ago I tried it, but didn’t really read up on it. Wanted to back up my Pi’s sdcard while the system was running. I even fucking named that script “online-backup”.

    Now every time I ran that, after hours, I noticed my Pi was crashing, and never booted back up. I used chinese sd cards so I blamed it on them.

    But this happened multiple times, just to learn I was using dd absolutely wrong.

    dd was always a scary utility to me, and still is. I fucked up things with dd, regardless I quadruple checked everything 😅

    but to answer the question; it’s possible, but you really need to know what are you doing.


  • I always read now and even back then people complaining about t9 and how shitty it is…

    I don’t know, I loved it on my Sony Ericssons. The implementation of it was really nice.

    Granted, I did use it on my native language, so maybe in English, it is shitty, but it was a must have thing to turn on for me after a while (when I discovered and realized how it works. before that, it was just some strange black magic)

    Just started typing, and if I waited a bit, a list of words came up and could use the dpad or joystick to select a word. only annoying thing was a popup, if the word did not exists I was trying to type, but then I could just add it with two button presses and that’s it.

    And Bonzi even was a 3rd party thing. Now imagine that shit, just built into the system by that time. 😅

    Heck, even MSN Browser was a thing and I’m pretty sure just because it said “Good afternoon” or some shit when you launched it.

    Since at that time these shits weren’t really normalized, I can imagine some people would actually like these things and maybe even use them. It would have feel… kinda modern? If that makes sense… (tho when I first saw XP after using 95 and 98 in my life at that point, it felt absolutely super-duper modern x3)

    I like this image - it is really nicely done. I don’t like what it represents, but the image itself is decent.
