Anybody tried one of these RPi based N64 cart dumpers off Aliexpress?
  • what's denigrating about calling the game a number? Is the hobby collecting devices from China? Why not figure out how an N64 works and dump it yourself if that's your hobby?

    I'm not against the idea, homey. I just wouldn't plug this device into my computer. Grab an Arduino or JTAG cable.

  • A sketchy USB device from Alibaba with 0 documentation is significantly less safe than grabbing a ROM, which are widely available and have known file hashes. The security risk alone from a no name USB device is probably not worth it unless there's a save file you reeeeeeeeally care about, as another user mentioned.

  • My Lord. Type "Halliburton oil Ukraine" into Google maps and look at the god-damned oil field that's owned by a US company. Or look at how the US has has record natural gas exports every year since 2014.

    Or look up how the US weapons weren't given to Ukraine. They were sold and those loans must be paid back. Britain and Russia didn't pay back their WW2 lend-lease debts until 2006.

    The US is making a killing on this conflict. Ukrainians are also dying for their nation, but two things can be true at the same time. Anyone who isn't a moron can see that.

  • What was the path like to your current career, and what parts would you recommend for or against another person following?
  • must be your client. the link works fine for me. If you see the timeline, locals mostly weren't involved and lots of local anti fascists organized and fought back. This island was nominated for the Nobel prize when the crisis started, but there's only so much people can take when the refugees kept coming, the island couldn't support thousands of extra people, and refugees were forced to cut down centuries old olive trees for cooking fuel. Greece is not a wealthy country and they felt betrayed by places like Sweden and Germany that have robust economies and a much smaller proportion of the refugee crisis.

    Something had to give. Moria camp is essentially an open air prison without running water or showers. Most people who arrive are children, or were before they walked to Turkey from the Congo or Afghanistan or whatever and boarded boats for a chance at a better life.

    I heard stories from teenagers who had escaped slavery or been forced to work in fast fashion factories in Turkey without pay or had their passports stolen in Iran or picked up by a militia in the Syrian civil war and handed a weapon. And the EU just leaves them there. They get like €200 a month, if and when their legal case ever concludes, but that's not enough to actually live and they're not allowed to work. Not like Greece has extra work anyway.

    Maybe the countries that make a fortune by selling arms to conflict zones (France, Germany, Sweden, Belgium, Italy) should step up and take care of the crises they manufactured for profit. But nah, they just elect far right parties because brown people are scary.

  • Help burning CDs?
  • Look at the top level comment by the user, lurch. If I'm understating him correctly, a reboot should fix it in case that happens. Generally you need to run the dd command to brick stuff in the way you're imagining. It's short for either disk duplicator or disk destroyer (if you fuck up). I suspect the cdrecord utility would prevent you from doing anything too stupid on accident.

  • Unless you think Russia is capable of hacking google maps...

    Here's an oil field owned by Halliburton in Ukraine. https://g.co/kgs/F7e761g

    For those of us not old enough to remember, Halliburton got famous for being deeply connected to George W. Bush's Vice President, Dick Cheney, and profited massively from the Iraq war.

  • also, I think most of their competent hackers leave. I work with a three Iranian systems dudes (not in Iran, despite the suggestion of another user here). If your choice is between working for the IRGC (becoming the target of western sanctions and security agencies) or a $250k/year job at Google, the choice is usually pretty easy.

  • Help burning CDs?
  • Another user says that you're not going to brick the drive and that anything you do will probably be fixed by a reboot. If you want to be sure you're not writing to the main file system drive, the best method is to physically disconnect the device to see that the dev/srX disappears when you do so. At least, that's the method I've always used when burning SD cards for a raspberry pi.

  • Thanks, Copilot

    A Scandinavian Specialty

    Scandinavia often has these three-walled cabins available on a first-come, first-served basis. In Swedish, they're called vindskydd, or wind shelter. This particular one is northeast of Umeå, Sweden. No guarantees on what they're called elsewhere, but I have seen them in Finland as well. And I have heard of but not seen of them in Norway. In general, the freedom to roam is quite strong in these three countries as long as you are respectful and stay out of obviously private spaces like personal gardens or farm fields. Happy travels!
