Play Store... Don't forget that Google can take your apps away. I bought PicSay Pro for making memes over a decade ago and now it's no longer available. Of course I dumped it to apk for manual transfer to other devices but how long before "unknown" app installation is taken away?

I'd like access to serial port over USB for running 3D printers and robots off of devices that would otherwise be e-waste, but it's hit-or-miss and the battery charging problem that was already mentioned here.

In the worst-case scenario, yes... but the wording on the Windows dialog literally says, "There is a problem with your device and you should scan it" and then when you do, "Your device is ready to use, no problems were found." This, after it was ejected and got the safe removal notification. 🤷‍♂️

Game Genie had a thicker circuit board than a game cart, to get a good connection in the frontloaders. The toploader's cart slot is pretty tight, to get a good connection. Combine these, and it feels like the cart slot is going to pull off of the circuit board before the Game Genie lets loose. Everdrive/Powerpak would work fine.

Galoob offered an adapter for the toploaders but they are extremely rare.

Honestly, even a Trinitron TV with composite looks as good as RGB at the resolution of NES.

The "vulnerability" was only that F-Droid wasn't keeping up with their builds, leaving everyone who installed it from F-Droid out-of-date, during a period of known Firefox bugs being exploited.

Remember Craigslist? I got a toploader for $40 with games because it had been stepped on and crushed! Some Bondo, paint, AV mod...

Toploader not recommended if you like to use Game Genie.

RGB mod: It's expensive IIRC because you need to replace the PPU (video chip) entirely with one from an arcade board or a modern FPGA reproduction. Edit: Sweet Jesus, you're looking at about $250 for RGB kit installation...

At the time, if you bought a new US toploader then complained to Nintendo about the video quality, they would replace it with a revision with no jailbars. There's also a very rare US toploader with the composite AV port and no jailbars!

Them eggs is spensive cuz they real good ones. I gottem and gonna eatum with my limited edition cheese and laugh at the poors!

Psychology. The sign gets extra attention and also makes one think the people holding the sale might be stupid and not know the value of the items they're selling.

Should have gone for the heart; I don't think further damaging the brain would have much effect.

I don't know what all this talk of css hacks and add-ons is about... Alt, View, Sidebar, Bookmarks.

Appease "the Base" and "own the libs". Drive a deeper wedge and call it freedom and unity.

This isn't normal.

That goes without saying... another user here says the drive can't be larger than 8GB but I'm fairly certain I tried that, too.

Edit: 4GB FAT32 worked. It may have a 4GB limit. On a brand new multifunction business printer/copier/scanner.

There exists a modern EPROM replacement that internally uses flash and the chip itself has a USB port on it, but I can't remember the name.

"Abortion debate" and all other culture warfare is only to keep the masses busy fighting each other so they don't engage the rich in class warfare.

Liches ain't shit, but foes and tricks

Phylactery gems that one has hid...

My Canon photo printer can be converted to a tank-style with a drill and a highly illegal cartridge resetter. 😂

I heard Brother was good, then I spent way too long formatting different USB sticks in different cluster sizes and formats, and never got ours to work with any of them. Don't buy Brother if you want that feature, either.

We had a slutski here, too 😂

grub's always been a hack. The first stage in 512 byte boot sector chainloads the second stage in the space between boot sector and the first sectors of first partition. Second stage chainloads the kernel. (This is my primitive gist.)

grub was never made for security, it just exists in a place where one would think security would be priority... but again, physical access = pwned, etc.

Not quite the same, but funny: I recently unlocked an HDD from a car head unit to prove to a friend that it was only storing music ripped from its CD drive (and the associated minimal CD title database)... Toshiba master HDD password is 32 spaces. 😅

Better replace your keyboard everytime you leave it unattended, someone could put a keylogger in it. Don't forget to check for hidden pinhole cameras around that capture you inputting your passwords. Etc, etc. Those even work against an encrypted drive...
