RIP, Maru.

Edit: Mixed up my famous cats… I saw that Maru passed away in September - he was the white-and-tortie one who would slide across the floor to dive into boxes.

The cuties in OP appear to be Shironeko and Tyatora from kagonekoshiro.com. “Shiro” AKA “Basket Cat”.

I feel like I’ve seen this post before - dijon vu.

Glad you were able to get it sorted. With Intel, just because it fits the socket doesn’t mean it will work. See also: Coffeetime (BIOS mods to make Coffee Lake CPUs work on mobos artificially restricted to buggy Skylake)

Sober… Roblox

It works great for my family! Only annoyance is having to run flatpak update often.

Two of my family members are still rocking machines of this vintage. Get a Vishera-based (8300 series) FX CPU if you can find it cheap, so you at least have x86-64-v2 instruction set. It helps. You probably have (Realtek?) gigabit networking onboard, but an Intel gigabit card will improve networking performance.

When streaming, you’re running the game and encoding video at the same time. This will make the PC double as a space heater, which might be OK if you’re in the northern hemisphere and approaching winter! 😉

Don’t have a cow, man.

Someone should create CoPirate for Linux, that saves a DRM-free local copy of everyone else’s data that goes through your machine. For training purposes, of course.

They’ve always had the ability to skip… I’m guessing the bartenders just didn’t know because the button on the remote isn’t explicitly labelled “skip”. What they did catch on to is playing longer songs; those cost extra now.

StarTropics for NES had a “letter from your uncle” in the manual, that you had to soak in water to reveal the submarine’s activation code when you reached Chapter 4. I think that was the only time we used the Nintendo tip line, because of a lost manual!

Some games let you keep playing without the correct code… until the difficulty automatically ramped up to impossible levels.

This is true. Non-Google apps trying to read your screen had to convince users to enable Accessibility permission.

It hasn’t been updated in five years. I’m not sure of the current state of things in Android, but apps used to be able to access all kinds of personal data with zero permissions: listing all installed apps, access to sensors/accelerometers, battery level, when charger/headphones were last plugged or unplugged.

It splices into the live power cord and supplies the same voltage in parallel. When the connection is verified good, the PC is powered from battery and can be unplugged from the wall.

I have seen the use of such a device by gov’t agencies; basically a large UPS that clips onto the AC plug’s prongs so that a running server or desktop PC can be confiscated without power being interrupted.

Sunsoft was on a bit of a roll there. The same composer did the soundtrack for Journey to Silius AKA Raf World. They made simulated instrument sounds from the CPU’s sound channels in an different way from everybody else… listen to those games, Gimmick!, and Hebereke.

Mfw I find a real one.
