I’m glad they aren’t planning on releasing incrementally upgraded devices.

Retroid makes a lot of handheld emulators that are decent quality but it feels like they release a new model every few months that’s just slightly better than the last. It’s an easy way to feel cheated and hesitant about what you’re buying.

Yeah. I feel like the headline also misrepresented the extent of what happened.

But the firm rejected claims about the extent of the damage caused by the unnamed individual, saying they “contain some exaggerations and inaccuracies”

Is probably the key takeaway and a good summary of what the article is about

I don’t think it’s a bad idea. I’ve used a lot of controllers in the past that have felt worse than the controls on Anbernics handhelds. If they are willing to switch things up and breakaway from the typical from the typical Switch Pro controller look a lot of third party companies use I think it could be cool

For those that want some additional details Brodie Robertson created a video on what was happening 3 weeks ago on how things were going into the lead up to this. Here’s the link. It’s 16 minutes long and kind of funny. It shows how mismanaged things were from the beginning

It’s like how a lot of parents these days don’t think their “jailbroken” Firestick is pirating

Would the collection just keep growing or would you delete content? Maybe periodically so if you haven’t watched the new Bettlejuice movie within a couple weeks it would get deleted? Maybe they wouls hold onto stuff until you’ve got it and watched it?

The idea of versioning it with your family stash is neat

Could errors during the flashing process be dangerous though or would it just mean trying again until it works?

I’m guessing it’s either an issue with the latency or internal resistance of the wires (as someone else mentioned) so unless I’m cutting and splicing the wires I don’t think that will matter

Because it can be very finicky and I don’t know what the ramifications would be if the wire length did cause issues flashing the firmware.

I would follow the installation steps and make a backup and check that back up but I don’t know how badly errors during the flashing process would effect the laptop.

Plenty of people also seem to use the CH341A unmodified without issue but I don’t know if the 5V issue may cause problems in rare situations or if it’s a complete gamble of whether or not it could brick your device. If it’s only an issue if you do something like jostle the clip while it’s doing something than it would be a lot easier for me to just go that route

I think they were under the impression I want to install Libreboot on the Raspberry Pi. Maybe they didn’t get a good look at the photo or how it was cropped confused them

Correct but it can be used to flash Libreboot on devices like the ThinkPad I mentioned in the title.

I’m asking if this configuration would be effective considering I’ve heard of people having issues with longer wires causing problems. Adding jumpers and a breadboard is just adding to that length.

I’d like to flash Libreboot on my Thinkpad T440P using the instructions from the Libreboot website

I feel like that’s a lot of boiler plate stuff. It reminds me of Tom Scott’s video on VPN sponsorships not admitting they can be used as tools for piracy

Mind linking it? I went there recently and didn’t see any air filters.

I guess that’s something I should be more forward with. I don’t really know what I am trying to filter out. I feel like my apartment can feel stuffy at times and agitate my sinuses but that may have to do with my AC unit pumping largely unfiltered air from the a busy downtown area into my unit

Thanks for the link. Very neat

Did it melt or something?

The lack of interest in it even amongst tech communities and bridges (they can link Matrix servers and Discord servers) constantly being down has kept me from giving Matrix a second chance.

I think it was a Linux gaming community last time that got flooded with hate content after the bridge went down and the Matrix side was left to itself.

If I’m in the room there’s a strong chance a computer is on. I don’t use my phone a lot at home so most of my entertainment and time is spent on it

Totally. I feel like it’s just more prevalent stereotypically among the right.
