Don’t know if it counts: Factorio on deathworld. I thought it’s impossible until I saw dosh beating it and Mods even worse than that.

    This is what I came here for. Can’t forget about the chubby one.

    knokelmaat,

    And it was the only one able to fully hold a Game Boy Advance cartridge!

    vaionko,

    Could’t the Lite too? Or is my memory this bad?

    knokelmaat,

    Ah, I skipped over the fully part

    This was my early high school days. My friend and I would play Mario 64 DS wirelessly across the hall because we were in different classes but close enough for a WiFi connection. Great times. Also, the Metroid demo included with the console was a fun multiplayer experience.

    I have not heard a car for a few hours. Not even the rumble of traffic in the distance and I can see the night sky without light pollution. It is a very privileged experience in some ways and while it has its advantages we are measurably disadvantaged in most human development metrics: health, education, income etc compared to people living in urban areas of our own country. The disadvantage is real and pops up everywhere from cancer survivability to suicide rates. Equitable internet access is more important than many people appreciate. If we can improve services to everyone AND protect radio astronomy that is a worthy goal.

    jmcs,

    Fiber is dirty cheap, just saying. If you consider externalities, much cheaper than starlink. You just want us to subsidise your lifestyle.

    palitu,

    Maybe they are farmers? Apparently they have to live quote remote.

    I have family that use it as there is nothing else available

    Edit: fiber is cheap, but the land and labour required is not.

    ShepherdPie,

    How does fiber being cheap help them if no ISP is willing to dig miles and miles of trenches to lay it and connect to their home? I live in the middle of suburbia and don’t have access to fiber.

    Your comment about subsidizing their lifestyle doesn’t really make sense. What are you subsidizing exactly? This tech is also useful in poorer countries that don’t have the infrastructure at all.

    chloyster, do gaming w let's discuss: non major systems

    I have a bit of an obsession with handheld systems. I’ve always been on the lookout for cool handhelds. Probably started with some leapfrog devices I had when I was a kid.

    Some of the more interesting ones include a piboy. A raspberry pi 4 stuffed into a gameboy dmg like shell to emulate games. More recently I’ve been very into my analogue Pocket. I play a ton of stuff on that as it can accurately recreate a ton of older systems. I’m also quite interested in getting a playdate at some point, but have yet to justify it.

    I also have some modded GBC and GBA systems. With USB c charging and nicer screens

    sleepybisexual,

    Nice :3

    I do software emulation too. I used to want a GBA as a kid, little me would have loved emulation :3

    GammaGames,

    I haven’t thought about my leapfrog in years! Was a fun little thing.

    The Piboy looks great! I’ll have to put it on a list of gift ideas for my partner

    chloyster,

    Fair warning. If you are looking at the piboy by experimental pi, their website has been mostly down for months now. They seem to have abandoned the project :(

    GammaGames,

    Dang, maybe I’ll go for the Analogue Pocket instead. Thanks for the tip!

    sleepybisexual,

    That’s an FPGA thing. Youneed carts for it. If you into ROMs I can recommend most new ambernic stuff

    GammaGames,

    Now those are fancy! I really like the joystick support.

    Related, do you have any recs for an SP-style emulation handheld? I love the clamshell for tossing in my backpack

    merthyr1831, do games w Gacha games are out of control. Gambling shouldn't be so widespread

    We had to convince my brother in law (13yo) to not spend his birthday money of £85 on Genshin impact skins. Kids are fucked by advertising man

    Buttflapper,

    Report that shit to the EU or your government. At least in Europe they care…

    merthyr1831,

    China has announced a ban on Gacha game mechanics (and lootboxes, predatory discounts, and gambling) which should hopefully ripple out to Europe and the US soon.

    A lot of these mechanics were adapted from the Chinese gaming market and I think the same will likely happen in the reverse.

    BruceTwarzen,

    I’m no stranger to people paying for skins and all, but when i first heard that kids want vbucks as a Christmas gift my stomach kinda turned.

    It’s the same formula in damned near every game now. Pay2Win has made even the most chill JRPG a wall of ads and notifications to spend more money.

    Same, World of Tanks is the first game that comes to my mind when people mention pay2win mechanics. I am quite happy that I don’t play that game anymore.

    Baikal i Radicale to proste do postawienia serwery CalDAV. Oczywiscie mogą działac tylko w sieci lokalnej, wszystko zalezy od Twojego setupu. Jesli nie robisz zadnego port forwardingu to domyslnie bedą dostępne tylko w sieci domowej. Sam korzystam z Baikal i uzywam aplikacji DavX^5 na Androidzie do synchronizacji co dzieje sie automatycznie jak połącze sie z moim wifi

    Teoretycznie cokolwiek co jest self-hosted powinno dać się ustawić, żeby działało tylko w sieci lokalnej. Ja używam Yunohost i Nextclouda na nim, ale to może być overkill jak na sam kalendarz. @dynks ostatnio gdzie indziej lobbował za anytype.io do podobnej roli, chociaż to dalej bardziej groupware, niż sam kalendarz.

    Edit: może być warto crosspostować to pytanie do !wolnyinternet - sporo osób śledzi tą społeczność przez inne usługi fedi, może dać ci sporo więcej odpowiedzi.

    Elon is a nazi but this was always bound to happen as we expand our presence in space.

    Imagine the radio signature of any of the hundreds of orbital megastructures in sci fi.

    qjkxbmwvz,

    this was always bound to happen as we expand our presence in space.

    Yes and no — from a different article:

    Radiation associated with Starlink satellites was detected at observing frequencies between 110 and 188 MHz, which is well below the 10.7- 12.7 GHz radio frequencies used for the downlink communication signals.

    (The original article said 5M radiation, which should be around 60MHz.)

    So Starlink is emitting RF in spectrum where they shouldn’t, which is avoidable, but takes effort.

    My guess, and I could be wrong, is that this could be related to something other than the radio(s), such as switching power supplies finding opportunistic structures from which to radiate.

    Comment105,

    Starlink seems like a genuinely interesting and useful technology, in some ways.

    But it also seems like it might not be worth having.

    I’m thinking they might need to be deorbited, but I’m not confident in that yet. It sounds like it might be fixable in a new generation of Internet constellation satellites.

    Idk how long the issue should be tolerated to wait for that, though. And while Starlink has a good amount of customers this kind of Internet is genuinely useful for, it’s still not a lot compared to all the other internet services.

    Maybe Starlink deorbiting should come along with an expansion of the traditional communications network. But maybe it would be extremely expensive to reach Starlink’s customers with towers or cables.

    frezik,

    China is putting up their own equivalent system. Terrestrial radio telescopes are fucked.

    Time for a moon base.

    frankgrimeszz, do gaming w Are acer laptops unreliable?

    Did you use your laptop on a bed at any point?

    Thatuserguy, (edited ) do gaming w Are acer laptops unreliable?

    I tried to do this research years ago and my impression was that acer was near bottom of the barrel in reliability these days unfortunately.

    That said, it also seems in general that laptop quality and reliability are a total crap shoot, even within the same company.

    So your best bet imo is to just find a model that has the specs you like and research the hell out of it before buying.

    I recall that Acer laptops had a reputation of being unreliable over 10 years ago already, I’m surprised it had not improved since then.

    Sam używam NextCloud ale to jest spory pakiet, w którym kalendarz to jedna z wielu funkcji. Jest dostępny m.in. na disroot.org i nch.pl. (NextCloud wspiera dostęp przez WebDAV.)

    Jeśli rzeczywiście Twoim celem jest uruchomienie własnej usługi, to nie mam dobrych pomysłów.

    I played so many games on my Palm Pilot back in middle school. My Palm Tungsten T3 was great, and there were a shitload of freeware or shareware games released over the years.
