Are there collections of that or would I be doing what I am now and checking individual files?

Searching aspect ratio and 4:3 doesn’t seem to pull up much

I think that may not be on them. I think it would be a matter of tweaking the FFmpeg core in RetroArch but I don’t know if it has live video cropping as a feature especially when within the confines of RetroArch. Scaling? Maybe but that’s not really what I’m after.

Searching online I am getting either command line options or unrelated results about CRT gaming.

An RG35XXSP. Basically an emulator in the style of a GBA SP. I’ve had other handheld emulators before but I like the style of this one with KNULLI.

I got my partner one for Christmas as well. I’m hoping to setup netplay so we can play a couple games together

Candy cane sounding

• Amiga, or retro-computing in general. Not just for gaming. There’s something deeply inspiring about browsing the web or creating spreadsheets with entirely different hardware and software. Hoping to get an Alpha CPU and/ or an Atari soon.

Kind of similar but obscure operating systems in general are things I’m a big fan of like TempleOS, HaikuOS, AROS, and MorphOS. OSs that are more than odd Linux distros.

Something about the ARM architecture also seems really neat to me.

Do you have any neat videos or YouTubers that cover Amiga content?

I hadn’t thought about fandom’s based around people rather than properties (ex. Movie/game series). I imagine a lot of people feel that way about late Rooster Teeth.

To me it means a wave of seasonal content and not much else. I’ll watch Christmas movies and shows but I don’t have the space or time to go all out with Christmas just for me to enjoy

Hell yeah. I tried to train one to feed me misinformation and encourage bad habits like drinking and driving and it was a lot more fun and lively than anything else I’ve seen

Yeah I feel like having control over the things you use is definitely a big part. Something that really hampers my enthusiasm for AI is that so much of it is out of my control and generally disconnected from me.

Having AI that I can modify and run locally on my devices seems a lot more sci-fi than something that can relies so heavily on the Internet and rigid responses.

I find it’s a lot of those ideal use cases I find futuristic. The RISC V architecture and Briar are kind of similar. They’re really neat and I could see some cyberpunk style uses for them but the drive for their adoption and the level of it just doesn’t seem to be there yet.

I feel like that really depends on how you view futuristic.

I think things with colored e-ink displays, USB C chargeable AA batteries, handheld emulators, 2230 NVMe drives, and USB C power portable displays are really cool but I feel like their availability these days has made them lose a bit of their futuristic luster. They would have blown my mind when I was a kid.

More niche products like Meshtastic and ESP32 Marauder devices are things I view as futuristic (and can be found for under $100).

Yeah. I feel like the headline also misrepresented the extent of what happened.

But the firm rejected claims about the extent of the damage caused by the unnamed individual, saying they “contain some exaggerations and inaccuracies”

Is probably the key takeaway and a good summary of what the article is about

Was that recently?

It’s more the need aspect you mentioned that I’m talking about. People living with what works or is good enough. I feel like it can be totally be intentional. I imagine a lot of people just sleep with a mattress on the floor because they don’t feel like a bed frame is necessary for example.

Where people draw the line is one of the things I’d find interesting if that makes sense

What would be something homey but not presentable?

I get you. I rarely have other people over. I feel like if I had to start over, like if my place burnt down, I would live more like that

Gotcha. I feel like they might have the recliner there to potentially have easy access to the counter and outlet that’s also nearby

It’s like how a lot of parents these days don’t think their “jailbroken” Firestick is pirating

Would the collection just keep growing or would you delete content? Maybe periodically so if you haven’t watched the new Bettlejuice movie within a couple weeks it would get deleted? Maybe they wouls hold onto stuff until you’ve got it and watched it?

The idea of versioning it with your family stash is neat
