Ok that is not the case in Germany, here you can have items multiple times, to have some to archive and some to use.

I can see that the preservation aspect is very valid for highly rare or one of a kind items, but that is generally not the case with retro hardware. Yes there are examples for that too (like C65 or other prototype stuff) but nobody would expect a museum to put that to use.

No it is more like saying "What is the point of going to an museum of art when all the paintings and statues are only photocopies and 3D printed replicas"

Well yes, yes they did. It is called Canoe and is for example running inside the SNES Classic Mini. And that is not the only emulator they wrote. Writing an emulator is not some obscure magic, and it is way easier if you own all the schematics and other Information used to build the original hardware.

That is highly depending on the type of Museum. Many Videogame and Computer Museums (at least in Germany) are showing the real Hardware running, some are even allowing the visitors to use and play at the old machines. And yes, they are often very used to repairing the hardware too.

I would expect from Nintendo that they would show and use real hardware in their museum, and not some emulators. Because I can see the games on an emulator at home (for example using my Switch Online or my SNES Classic), I don't need a museum for that experience.

It is not really IRL when you put tags and graffiti on photos, even when it is combined with AR.

It is so sad that they killed Ingress with their shitty new scanner app. It is out for years now and is still running like crap on my 2 year old upper class android phone. I really loved that game

The Outer Worlds is a good and fun game, for one fast and very linear playthrough with a great storytelling. But it has no replayability and it has zero possibilities for modding. It is not in the same league as Skyrim or Fallout, not even Starfield.

It would be great if it would interface the disk drive to the cores, but this is not loading the game from a disk but using the disk drive to tell the MiSTer which core and game to start from its regular storage.

What is next? Starting a game with a rotary phone? In the end it is again and again the same tapto gimmick, with another device emulating the NFC reader.

Another cozy game with a ugly bleached out pastel color theme. Thanks and I wish fun for everyone who plays it, but this is nothing for me.

I never said it is the best game they ever made, but it is the best NASA punk space RPG they ever made 😁

I have started a complete new game 2 days ago and have again a lot of fun with Starfield. Can't wait to see all the new content from the DLC.

I would say that Starfield is the best NASA punk planet exploration RPG Bethesda has ever made

Not for emulators, but with Everdrives for example it is possible to play it on native hardware and there load times matter. So improving loading times is a great feature

I have a Postscript 3 compatible ipp network color laser printer for about 15 years now and it works without any issues with Linux, way better then it does from Windows. So I never understood way they say that printing is cumbersome with Linux.

Unfortunately many of the routers provided by ISPs I have seen where not configured that way by default. They only used NAT as firewall, so without configured port forwarding nothing could be reached with IPv4. But for IPv6: If you know the IPv6 for any system on the local network it is free available on all ports. It is the first thing I check when someone asks me to check their network or configure their internet, and only Fritz!Box have a sane default for IPv6 (but to be honest my other experiences are mostly with shitty Vodafone and german Telekom routers so it is a very limited set, and I really hope that most others are better.)

Yes, but exactly that was/is the issue of this bug. cups-browsed was attaching itself to every available IP on the system. And cups-browsed can't only be bind to localhost, it would defeat the whole purpose of that tool. For it to be able to find other printers in the network it needs to be bound to a non-localhost-IP address. So, not much to sandbox

No port forwarding needed when the ISP provides a proper IPv6 subnet. Normal IPv6 router advertisement will then provide a public reachable address for every IPv6 capable device.

But with the size of IPv6 it makes searching for that not really easy, so it only a small attack vector.

I have cups (but not cups-browsed) installed, but I only start the service when I need to print something a few times a year. Until then it is only a binary sitting in a folder, nothing more.

I don't know if I would like to have my personal data that I needed to print out on any system in a print shop. Printers and Copy machines in print shops often have internal HDD where the files are stored for caching reasons, often for months or even years (depending of the size of the HDD and how much the device is used) until some internal cleanup process deletes them.

According to public sources at Nexus Mods he has taken it down preemptively out of fear for possible consequences.
But there is always the possibility that the cease and desist letter came with a firm request to not talk about the cease and desist letter, but that is highly speculoos

I fear that the situation will not be better after nearly a decade.
