something something the purpose of a system is what it does

"Team can measure serotonin in your eyeball with a serotonin sensor hooked up to wires coming out of your eyeball" doesn't sound as glamorous as the headline tho

Coming soon, to a culture near you.

And when is it going away?

this is such a lousy excuse

Raspberry Pis, save for RP silicon like rp2040, have always been locked down proprietary black boxes.

An airtag is one device that by its nature desperately wants to be seen.

Like, desperate enough to partner with Kylie Jenner on a failed PR campaign? Meta desperately wants you to be seen in these.

Like me ex ...

PS2 emulation leaves a lot to be desired in terms of accuracy and authenticity, and current original hardware backup solutions are not ideal or extremely cumbersome, including caveats like relying on homebrew software which alters the memory layout of games as they run, leading to inaccuracies and broken games, and needing to have multiple copies of backup loading software on your console, as some loaders will work with some games, but not with others. It's a right mess. Some solutions, such as MechaPwn, are more transparent, allowing you to burn so-called "master discs" of your game backups to DVD-R. As far as I can tell, compatibility is 100%, but if I recall correctly, this only works on specific models of console, and the process of burning a master disc can be unintuitive and relies on specific, deprecated, commercial DVD burning software.

From what I can tell, this opens the door to things like optical drive emulators, which replace the disc laser with an SD card slot, allowing the console to read game disc images no differently than the console would read a retail game.


Ah, hardware disk drive replacements, that would make sense. I'm very software oriented so wasn't considering the hardware implications. Thank you.

Some people are not very smart.

this; I don't like it so I simply don't use it.

probably USI and thus not usable for things like art, and barely tolerable for handwriting.
