A QA tester walks into a bar and orders 1 beer, then maxint beers then -1 beers.

Good for you?

I blame the lack of a headphone jack.

Done get me wrong, boom boxes were a thing in the 80’s and 90’s, and there is the modern day equivalent of terrible Bluetooth speakers.

But without a convenient $5 tool to quiet your device it’s obvious most people will resort in speaker phones if they want to quickly hear something.

I use flatpak and app images for different uses.

App images are like portable exe files for onetime use apps. Like Rufus

Flatpaks are like installable exes from the devs website. Used for apps I want to used and use again on my machine.

Grand Theft Auto 4 - wasn’t fun to play, though I keep trying since I want to see where the story goes but get too jaded to make it far.

Fallout New Vegas - not sure why 3 and 4 vibes with me better, but every time I start new Vegas I just feel like I hit a wall before I make it to the strip.

Newer Pokemon games - this one is easy. I like to explore and find Pokemon. Current games are about and focused on battling. So no more puzzles and hidden corners. Pokemon Platinum and Soul Silver was the last game I had no complaints about. Legends Arcus is the last one I played and mostly enjoyed.

Majora’s Mask and Ocarina of Time - again Zelda is an exploration game to me and these 2 are combat focused. The 3DS version of Ocarina of Time was a bit more palatable to me, but I haven’t touched it in years.

Scott Pilgrim EX being native isn’t surprising. Tributes previous games are also Linux native.

None the less I am happy to see it.

I was considering ann old M1 Mac for iOS development (current machine is an early 2015) but this might tip me over and get this instead.

This is now my goto laptop recommendation. For friends and relatives.

Just enough storage and RAM to not be terrible. More than enough power to do about everything a Chromebook user would want.

I grew up in the era of. PCs take forever to boot and sleep is good enough that when I turn it back on it’s still alive.

Laptop Sleep, desktop depends on when I use it last.

I feel these companies are forgetting the lessons from the mid 2000’s. When you remove the hardware features from your devices, which only the most advanced users use. It doesn’t mean you’ve locked it down, but instead invited these users to find alternative ways to bypass your security.

PS3 had Linux support. PS3 removed Linux supper. PS3 was cracked wide open.

Xbox One has a Dev mode, devs who wanted to play emulators on their Xboxes could. So the hardware was left be.

I don’t care for the medium, I just want to watch my shows. In Canada we get basically the same shows as the US, but many are not available for streaming. So I want to watch Danny Phantom for example, I can’t. It’s not on any channel not streaming services.

And the same goes for dozens of other shows ranging from obscure like Martin Mystery to the ultra popular like The Fairly Odd Parents.

Heck even Disney doesn’t have everything.

DVD does and it cost less than most of these services.

No flux and my only solder tip was 3x the width of the pin and probably not hot enough.

The only joints which matter is on the back the other are for stabilizing it. I went over to ensure there was enough solder and reflowed then for what I hoped to be a good connection.

It was after I lost the second row of pins to the floor the second time that I almost threw in the towel.

I’ve grown to respect micro solderers more after this.

And there’s a new 10% tariff.

Compared to the resale prices of the originals, this is a fantastic price. But for a 20 year old re-release it’s a bit over priced.

Weird, not sure how I did that so quickly. Might be my network. Removed the other one.

PixelJunkMonsters. The unique songs there are very good for ringtones and alarms.

Circle Sketch Fighters has been my since I got my first cell in 2009
