Which is why I ignore their constant pleas for money. They can be objective, but I’m tired of news organizations sanewashing this shit.

I would be interested in that case if you find it. I spend a lot of time thinking about emulation and the surrounding stuff.

The emulation itself is legal, assuming you’re not using any copyrighted code, BIOS, etc. to make work.

The backup copy of your game that you need can be made legally as well, but in the USA, if the source contains a form of DRM, then you cannot legally make a copy.

In the USA, it is illegal to make a backup copy of any of your media when the original contains any form of DRM.

On any media where DRM wasn’t used, you’re okay to create a backup copy.

The law is different everywhere though.

The quality of research done by people who advocate for “do your own research” is only as good as their education.

I have a friend who is my age, graduated college with me and likes to do his own research. I love the guy, but his ability to parse complex information is simply bad. He thinks that his own research on medical issues is superior to that of all doctors simply because he interprets what he reads in whatever way he wants it to mean. He never even tries to debunk anything.

I love the guy, and I’ve known him more than half my life now, but I have to simply humor him on medical advice.

I don’t dislike the Adam’s Family nor the Munsters, but I have blocked both communities because they each had a ton of submissions on the same day, and they were dominating my feed.

There’s nothing wrong with slowly submitting content. Submitting too much, too quickly makes it hard to distinguish from spam.

Just my opinion. I understand that you are looking to build something, and therefore you disagree on submission frequency.

I won’t use Brave for the same reasons, but not having uBO was the worst part of switching to iOS until Orion released.

To add on to this, Tidal and Deezer are excellent alternatives to Spotify.

Orion on iOS supports uBO too. It’s from the Kagi search engine people. I’ve been using it for a while now, and I like it a lot.

If it makes you feel any better, I’ve had this experience too, and also since I turned on the feature in Voyager to track votes per user, you’re at a +7 with me

Very cool. Looks professional!

I printed a seven bay case, but for 3.5” spinning rust instead of SSDs. It was an ambitious thing to print when I had just started printing. It took something like 300 hours of printing and 4 spools of filament (inflated due to reprints).

Just assholes like yourself

Best estimate that I’ve been about to find on Steam Deck sales is somewhere between 4-6 million, which considering everything is astounding. I’m on my second Deck (upgraded to OLED).

I actually decided to sit out the Switch 2 launch because I’m so satisfied with the Deck (and a lack of groundbreaking Nintendo games at launch).

There’s no meaningful difference in the eyes of the law. When she turns 18, then that’s different.

You’re suggesting he kidnaps a minor?

Exceptionally bad advice

I do not, but I’ve built fireplaces from brick. I can appreciate them more than your average person

Yeah they can get ugly there. It’s been a pissing contest for decades on just about every post. I do remember a time where people were just helpful and passionate about hardware hacking, but the web has an incredible amount of people on it now compared to how many were online when Hack A Day started 30-odd years ago
