Love my Hakko. Paid a little over $100 for it several years ago. It costs 10x as much as the cheapest option but is 100x better.

It's all good until they pull the content you thought you bought. I also prefer the convenience of downloaded games, but if it's a game I really like, I buy the physical version.

I just want micro SD and removable batteries again.

And they block access from a number of states due to stupid id laws

Massive things cause gravity. We experience this, of course, as the earth pulling us in towards its center of mass.

But if gravity pushes, then what is it that is getting on the other side of me and pushing me towards the earth?

Where is the physical origin of that pushing force?

How does it know to get on the far side of me and push me "down" toward the giant mass that is the earth?

None of it makes sense to me. I hope it's true and things are just that weird.

I once came across information that said natural forces never pull. They only push. If that's true then magnetism and gravity are even more confusing than I had initially estimated.

The image doesn't open for me. But I guess the joke still works in a way.

Anbernic handheld consoles are awesome and inexpensive.

I recommend the RG35XXSP. It's shaped like a Gameboy Advance SP and plays lots of Dreamcast & N64 games plus everything below that.

$60 + Shipping Directly from Anbernic

or

$90 with free 1 or 2 day shipping from Amazon

Ah. Thank you!! I was planning to disconnect the computer from wifi next month until I got around to setting up Linux. Nice to know there is more time.

I used Mint like 15 years ago trying to set up retropie on a cheap netbook. It felt really smooth, but I couldn't get something to work and just never had time to research a resolution.

I'm sure it's more user friendly now or at least the tools are more successful on first install. Going to find out sooner or later. I really just use that old PC to store pictures and play retro games, so it shouldn't be hard to convert with a little time for research.

I have a PC at home that works perfectly fine. Browses the internet, emulates GameCube and Dreamcast, runs any app I need.

It's not eligible for Windows 11. In about a month MS will just stop supporting my PC, and it will not have the option to be a Windows PC despite still having plenty of service time to offer.

Microsoft is basically forcing that PC to run Linux instead.

I've never seen someone get a break working in a restaurant. Everything else in that story is 100% on brand.
