At the time it came out, not really. There wasn’t really anything else to compete with it. If I’m not mistaken, it was the first handheld FPGA console.

While these names may not be on the forefront of the public’s mind, they’re still insanely ubiquitous. There’s no reason this needed to be a proprietary tracking service. Especially not one that takes advantage of those with disabilities.
Was just emulating this last night. Thank heavens for PCSX2 at 4k60. The art is so well done in this game it still looks awesome at high res.
I still get flashbacks to the Tropical Drive Westbound time trial with the F1 car. Took me years before I got good enough to beat it. Also one of the first games that I got 100% on.
CCleaner also hasn’t been necessary since at least Windows 7. I remember working in a PC repair shop when people would just arbitrarily run CCleaner on its most aggressive settings whether it was needed or not and it would always break more things than it fixed.
I’ve had the most luck with using ChatGPT for troubleshooting my existing code. I typically tend to lean more towards creative coding, and can provide it with my source code and a casual explanation of the issue and it can often explain how to manipulate things in a way I want.
I’ve relied on it a lot less for code generation and found it to be much more useful as a tutor for concepts that I can rework myself. I haven’t spent much time with Copilot since most of my projects are aiming for an uncommon goal.
Where I’ve found it to be less than useful in code generation is I’ll get caught in a loop where it’s trying an approach I’m not familiar with, so I feed it back the errors I’m getting and hoping it can solve it on its own, but it rarely is able to.
I don’t code professionally, but I’d probably hesitate to use it for anything used in production just based on what I’ve experienced.
Definitely not the case. You can easily get all-in-one mini PCs for $400-500 that can play most any new game at 1080p without much issue. Thanks to all the new stuff like DLSS/FSR, you can get away with a lot more for a lot less.
I have been wanting more Okami since the first time I completed it in 2009. I just want more of this universe! (And no, Okamiden on the DS just isn’t the same)
I daily drive a stick and I’m honestly going to be sad the day I can no longer find a stick shift. It’s just so much more engaging to feel all of the mechanics react. I’ve ridden in a couple electrics, and while in almost every technical way, it’s better on paper, I prefer the vibration, noise, extra hand/footwork and so on of ICE and a manual transmission.
There’s actually a channel I’ve been following on YouTube that covers dead online games (https://youtube.com/@RyeGamesOfficial?si=IR7AL-ZcQFCynoWO). It’s actually interesting because many of them will have a small dedicated player base of veterans, but otherwise, they usually just get forgotten.
Hue bulbs (and any other RGB LED) can display (almost) any color perceptible to the human eye as it combines the three wavelengths of colors our eyes can detect (red, green and blue) and blends them at different brightnesses. The “millions of colors” sell comes from 16-bit color found all over the place in technology. Here’s more info: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_color
I remember back in high school, this was the browser to have on your flash drive. So many built-in tools that were normally entire separate programs. It had an email client, BitTorrent, download manager, FTP client… all sorts of tools so you didn’t have to keep them all updated and portable separately.
It was a sad day when all of that started getting stripped out just to end up like every other Chromium copy on the market.
Been on Firefox ever since they took away my grid home screen.
I’ve never deleted an email from my inbox and I have all of the sunset emails from them, including this one!
