Atari 7800. I bought it from someone on craigslist about 3 years ago. The video was pretty fuzzy and audio wasn't consistent, so I talked them down to a good price. I ended up modding it for composite video and audio, but I rarely play it. I didn't grow up with an Atari, so I don't have the nostalgia for the games, but I still think it's pretty neat.
Neat, lots more e-waste incoming
Oh that's interesting. I started poking around with a Gameboy emulator guide implemented in Python that intended to emulate a Z80. Got any good resource recommendation in case I decide to pick this back up and inevitably get stuck?
I've been playing Metroid Prime 3 and largely enjoying it. The most recent boss fight was incredibly fun and refreshing, easily the best in the game and high in the rankings for best boss fight period.
I've been playing MP3 for the first time lately and I'm excited for this next entry! I'm glad to see they have seemingly introduced a new nemesis, as dark Samus was getting a little old IMO
Oddly enough I've had the most success selling things on craigslist in the past few years. When I list things on OfferUp I get some messages but everyone is super flaky. People are still flaky on craigslist but I almost always end up closing the sale there instead of OfferUp
I don't think it's so much a concern about violating the ToS as it is the consequences of violating it. Valve may be able to lock the account or close it if they have good reason to suspect the account has a new owner. An example of solid evidence of this may be changing the payment method for purchases, such that the name on a credit card doesn't match the previous cardholder name on the steam account.
But if the new owner doesn't plan on making new purchases on the account, it would probably be more difficult to confirm the account was transferred.
Most well regarded journals in STEM require a publishing fee. That is not the case for the humanities and I believe social sciences, which are always free.
That's a good point. I hadn't factored in the processor architecture at all, whoops. I've already got plenty of Linux experience though, so I just need to find hardware that can support a wide variety of software. Thanks for the recommendations!
Holy fucking nope. I wasn't planning on getting Windows 11 and this serves as a great reminder to make the transition to Linux. I've been thinking of picking up a raspberry pi 5 as my next desktop. Anyone want to share their experiences doing something similar?
Predictability in a chaotic system across various scales of time and space.
I know Python well, but I could build basic things with C++ and Fortran. I use bash a lot too. I know the basics of html and css if those count. And I barely remember some stuff from Matlab
I like finding playlists that people on Spotify have made roughly around a particular band or genre. I find one and hit shuffle and see what happens. I'm talking an actual user made playlist, not the garbage Spotify "made for you" playlists. Those used to be solid until they started stuffing them with 90% songs I already listen to.
Sometimes playing the last song on an album that I like or one of my playlists gets some good stuff out of Spotify's algorithm, but that is kind of hit or miss. It used to be quite a bit better.
