you can tell linux is getting popular, with so many exploits being announced recently lol

game genie doesnt interface with it. it simply edits values in the system ram. It doesnt matter whats in the cart, the system ram isnt gonna change

but in addition to the capacity expanding add ons inside the cart… you also had virtually no load times.

I wish the advent of large scale flash storage would herald the return of carts, since they can be even bigger than blu-rays now, and on top of that all the crazy stuff you could do with them.

I miss sticking carts in carts.

i miss consoles that you could add other consoles to.

I miss the weird, wacky ingeniusness of it all.

Now consoles are just desktop PCs with DRM.

Sonic and Knuckles let you human centipede it with Sonic 2/3

Dreamcast 5 competing with Atari 18200

There is a certain type of people that absolutely hate public transit, because its the evilbad socialism.

So they do everything in their power to sabotage it and make it as awful as possible, with the ultimate goal of selling it off to one of their pals and privatize.

Sound like every medical professional I’ve spoken too, lol. Appreciate the effort.

Yep.

All doctors do is shrug and say its weird but normal.

I’d wager that people who have linux and are plugging in TVs to run at 4k 120 are probably also not significantly in the majority.

i mean, sure, do it, we deserve to have feature parity with windows, but its not a problem that is affecting the masses.

Problem for me is I dont have anxiety problems.

I have “Oh my fucking god, my chest is killing me” problems. Which, understandably, creates some anxiety and trepidation. Doctors/ERs/etc always want to blame anxiety for it, despite the fact that even the good IV benzos and shit do fuck all but make me not give a shit.

Glad something works for you man, I wouldnt wish this shit on anyone.

I feel like this whole HDMI 2.1 thing is only an issue for a minority of people with ultra high end expensive monitors, and is overblown as a result.

What’d you find?

I still havent found fuck all that helps with my chest pains.

We know the enemy.

We know every unoriginal comment, trick, and bullshit they do, because they have repeated them over and over again for decades.

We don’t have to keep giving them the false legitimacy of equal time or attention.

Really need Theodore Roosevelt to rise from his grave and start taking his big stick to all the big, monopolistic companies again.

the marking on top of a capacitor are purpose built weak/failure points so if the cap overheats the pressure can be released there, in a controlled failure, as opposed to becoming a mini-pipe bomb.

Often, I think, its an X, sometimes a manufacturer might use another letter like K or T though… I dont know why, presumably something with branding.

PS2 was also an extreme overreaction to the IBM cloning situation, with its various “safe guards” against unauthorized replicas that made it a bitch to work on/upgrade iirc.

the cap plague all came from a single chinese manufacturer? I thought it was across many manufacturers world wide

Something about experimenting with electrolytes in the capacitors or something, i think? i dont recall well enough to state it as fact.

doctors been trying to get up my ass about this for over a year now.

the two tabs in the US snes cart slot are the region protection.

You can get a cheap and easy adapter if you are a preservationist (its just a passive slot extender to extend up over the tabs, basically), or if you are a savage you can grab the two plastic tabs in your US snes cartridge slot with pliers and just wrench them out.

its a fucking tragedy theres no one making decent dumb TVs anymore. But dumb TVs last longer cause they dont run as hot or are as complicated… and disposable society needs products to burn so they can churn for extra profit.
