Wouldn't this have been less expensive to make out of 1/4" plywood? I mean it's cool, but seems a bit much for something so simple. Otoh, there's no kill like overkill. ;)

They're two different markets, imo. While they carry many similarities, a person who owns a switch may also own a steam deck, because you cannot play Mario Party on the deck ("above board"). That said, Valve doesn't need the deck to do very well, because they make a lot of money on the games...

The insane part is the screen wasn't even damaged -- it was fully functional! They wanted to replace the screen because the PLASTICS were damaged (from a screwdriver/spudger, looks like), and they refused warranty on EVERYTHING because that damage was caused by the customer. It's absurd on...

Yeah, I struggled a bit last I tried messing with those. Once they're lined up right, it's just a matter of rocking them a bit until they pop on. But lining them up is a bitch.

Well, there's dosbox, if it's old enough and doesn't crash.

AMD does quite well on midrange laptops, with a decent graphics solution, good cpu performance, and reasonable power envelope. They aren't so great in ultra low power, and you could go either way in the gaming laptop space. I'd say they're in a pretty good spot right now, and there are more...

Capacitors popping? Yikes!

"Classic" Marathon is available for free on steam, Marathon Infinity and Marathon 2 coming soon. https://store.steampowered.com/app/2398450/Classic_Marathon/

Looks like it is supposed to work on windows, supposedly announced with some ReLive driver update but I haven't found it. You may need to change some settings to get it working, maybe add the game to the xbox thing or look in amd's driver settings for that game.

I wouldn't be surprised, makes more sense to have a very specialized and highly integrated OS, test suite, and hardware imo. That way any bugs can be found easily and fixed before there is a problem. Not to say it has to be unique to the power plant, but something built for that purpose and...

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Variable_refresh_rate Some of this may be outdated or not apply to your distro, but it should be generally informative. I didn't see anything about windowed apps, only that you should disable the compositor if you are in an X11 environment (not necessary on...

I'd love to have it, but wouldn't do it justice. Hope it goes to a good home, that's a fantastic looking case.

Can you still fall through the world randomly?

My n200 is still pluggin along. It's had some issues lately, think due to my storage filling up. Need to back up my important shit and clean house. Finally managed to break the screen -- must've dropped it a dozen times just on that corner without it breaking. The rear camera seems to be perma...

True, but AC is a funny beast, and it doesn't always go the way you expect it to. You might think it'll travel through the wire, when instead it decides ground is a better path. The wire provides a connection, but the inductance and capacitance and your mutual connection to ground becomes the...
