At MIT in the 1980’s it was called, “Get your fingerprints on the murder weapon.”

No matter where you go, there you are.

Microsoft is in it for the money. I think they’d rather get $30 a year every year than get $30 one time from a PC manufacturer who bundled Windows.

They’re still supporting regular Win 10 but will start charging $30 a year for patches.

There are 2x as many Blacks in prison in the US as Uyghurs in China. But we don’t call it genocide just like we call our rich Billionaires instead of oligarchs. At least for now we can make fun of Trump without being arrested. But I don’t know how much longer that will last.

Tell it to the American Blacks in prison. Glass houses. We’re all bad.

America has a greater percentage of Americans locked up than China has Uyghurs locked up and we don’t have a Thorium reactor either.

Wouldn’t it be January 2nd? 1/2

Ha! I have mechanical keyboards subbed and split keyboards subbed. Didn’t know of ergomechkeyboards. Thanks!

Yeah, you can swap more on a framework laptop than the mini PC he’s using.

However glasses, a mini PC, keyboard and battery is smaller than a laptop. Using whatever keyboard you want instead of what came with the laptop for forever is also nice.

It’s not only a picture. It’s a picture with a description. It’s the starting point. You don’t start a painting by going from blank canvas to finished product. You start with a sketch.

Now imagine if ip laws were removed. Any company could take open source work and sell it as their own while ignoring any GPL that requires the source code to be distributed.

Mass production started long before cars. The industrial revolution began in the 17th century. Interchangeable parts was invented by Eli Whitney. He showed a flint lock that could be assembled by anyone, instead of a skilled metal worker that needed to customize each part so they fit together perfectly.

Outside of art, machine made parts are far more perfect than hand crafted.

That was fine before mass production made perfect copies possible on an industrial scale.

You don’t need the person when you can copy the object and produce it at volume and scale because you already own the factories.

They run Linux but you don’t need to know anything. They work out of the box. Guides are for upgrading to different user interfaces. You do need to learn how to make a copy of a micro SD card because the ones that ship with the devices are extremely low quality and will quickly fail. I use the one from Raspberry Pi. It’s for installing pi OS but it does anything. https://www.raspberrypi.com/software/

Installing a different OS on a hand held is only picking a different image file like Knulli or GarlicOS when copying onto an SD card.

Before Trump announced it publicly. Martha Stewart was jailed for less.

I have/had ( bought for friends or myself) Anbernic 35xx, 35xx SP, rg cube x, 351 mp.

There are so many variations that it’s really personal preference. Like are you doing 16:9 games or 4:3? I wanted something for old arcades like pacman and space invaders so I got the cube. That screen ratio also happens to work well for Gameboy

Yeah Miyoo only makes a vertical and a flip. Retro game corps says the flip has some quality control problems.

I have a RP3+ but after using it a while, Android is too much of a hassle.

Miyoo Mini or Anbernic equivalents running Linux are so much easier. There’s no setup- just put your roms in a folder and go. I spent hours on the Retroid just trying to to get launchers looking nice and emulators configured.

But the critical feature is Android will never have a fast boot. When you hit the power on the Miyoo it saves the game state and completely powers down. It doesn’t go to sleep like Android where the bat is dead a day later. The Miyoo will have power weeks later. And because it boots in 10 seconds right into the middle of the game exactly when you hit power off, it’s not a problem to wait for a full boot.

If I needed a painting of a bird, it would be much easier to show the artist a photo of a bird and then describe how my idea differs from the photo instead of spending hours describing to the artist what the bird in my mind should look like.

Bradley didn’t like that his boss wasn’t standing over his shoulder describing everything while Bradley sketched the picture.

The other artists in the article had valid points.

So you would prefer lots of meetings, messages and redone work instead of someone showing you a picture that kind of represents what they want?
