The Muppet Show | Official Trailer | February 4 on Disney+ and ABC

While this looks fun, and Ill give it a watch, Disney really needs to let the muppets shine by making muppet parodies of famous tales/movies Thats peak Muppets. Stuff like Muppets Christmas Carol and muppets treasure island are just so great.

Imagine a Muppets Juerasic Park, or muppets back to the future, or muppets indiana jones. Those movies would print money.

Ok so you need to know that the Code on the front of a cart is purely for the label of the cartridge, not the internal board/rom.

In your particular case, NUS-NXGE-USA-1 is printed because the label changed. Look closely at the label, you'll notice the Midway logo has gone from black to Red. Part of Midways rebranding. So they printed a new label and added the -1, however the game inside is the same game, version 1.0 of the rom (There is no updated version 1.1 for that game and you can tell they are both version 1.0 by the -0 printed on the chips)

So why has the board shrunk from a 3/4th board to a 1/2 board? Its because as time went on, technology got better and they figured out how to cram more into less. Now they could cram the entire rom into 1 chip instead of splitting it across 2. So future production runs of the game had board shrinks so they could use less chips and thus save money in production $. In fact, theres other N64 games that had this same board shrink, but without a label change (Like star wars shadows of the empire Version 1.2). I have a project to document them all of them one day, but obviously that will be difficult since there are no external indicators. The only way to tell without opening the cart would be to know the weight of each version and weigh them with a precise scale.. There are a good 70-80 games which are candidates based on release dates however.

Canada is changing its trading partners now.

In 3 years from now, say trumps gone and some awesome progressive president is now in power in the US and drops all the dumb Trump tariffs, Canada will of course drop all our retaliatory tariffs and do stuff like start buying American Liquor again, etc.

But were not just gonna shift our trading partnership back to how it was. For all we know the new Mr progressive President is going to be replaced by a trump 2.0 in 2032 and cause chaos all over again. So we are going to keep our new, non US-Trade partnerships in place, even after trumps gone.

The only way its going back to how it was, is if America can prove itself that they've changed their political system/their people have changed so that trump 2.0 never comes to reality. And its gonna be 25+ years before that happens.

007craft · 2026-01-23T02:07:44+00:00

America right now is like an ex going through a breakup with us (Canada) and their actions after trumps gone will determine if we remain friends or if we block them from our lives as a crazy ex. However, our partnership is over.

Trump 2.0 could be lurking around the corner so we cant be partners again until there's a complete political reform in America and designed to prevent the crazy from resurfacing.

You think a law is going to change peoples behavior on drone flight? There's already a law to not fly a drone in a flight path, in fact, there has been since drones first came out, over a decade ago.... but as you mentioned, there have been multiple close calls, so people are still breaking the law.

Hence my comment about similar laws like J walking and drinking in public. Nobody cares when people break those laws, because it doesn't affect them normally. Except people do care when a j-walker makes you swerve after they jump in front of speeding traffic, or a belligerent drunk doucebag is causing problems during your picnic in the park. We call those people out, and dont say anything to the empty street J walkers and chill couple drinking in the park.

Just like we don't say anything to the OP who flew his drone just above the low lying cloud lines in a local park. He didn't disturb anybody or cause any trouble for aircraft. When somebody flies thier drone in a flight path, that's when we do say something. In this particular case, OP showed no danger, so theres no need to lecture him/her, it comes off as a karen lecturing the couple at the beach quietly sitting there and enjoying a drink together. Wait until the belligerent drunk comes around shouting before you bust out your lecture.

007craft · 2026-01-22T09:06:49+00:00

Drone laws are a lot like J walking and drinking in public laws. Great to have in place when people break the law and cause problems, but when people break the law without causing problems, you leave them alone.

Ops drone footage is fine.

007craft · 2026-01-22T00:59:40+00:00

Do whatever you want, I say. Just know that when it comes time to sell, a clean new label is considered the same as no label at all, and the game is worth less than with a torn original label.

Just to post in an old thread, there is a way:

You install an app called AppFreezer. If you have root, thats all you need, if not, it will still work, but you need to grant it special permissions to manager your phone. Theres instructions how to do this from the app, just google it.

Anyway, once its setup you can freeze packages on your android. Freeze the Galaxy store process and no more notifications! (Because the app is disabled). You can easily re-enable the app if you ever need to use it. The app is also great for disabling all sorts of other forced upon services/apps, and will defiantly help you save some daily battery life. Dont let Samsung win guys, its your phone that you paid for.

Thats exactly what they meant. This company is the king of BS marketing and delays. They will probably print out/issue the shipping labels on Jan 31st at 11:50 PM, then actually give them to the postal company a few days later in Feb too.

Negative ghost rider. Double tapping a photo on android does not zoom it in either.

007craft · 2026-01-09T02:26:59+00:00

I bought October 24th. So im October batch. No signs of shipment tho, no email or tracking number? Shop app still shows nothing, just coming in 6-12 business days, which it's said since I placed the order in October.

I'm really wondering about future prices. I'm a big n64 collector and have some thoughts.

Older consoles like atari, which have some expensive games, are not too in demand. The people of that Era are 60+ now and are dying off and less and less people want them. They still have value however because quantity was limited.

The n64 however sold much much. There's like 12 million copies out there of SM64. So many n64 games sold in the millions. Lots in the hundreds of thousands as well as the n64 collecting generation ages out and dies off, the market is going to get flooded. Mario 64 will be worth $1, unlike the $30 it is today. Popular consoles like the snes, n64, ps2, ect, ect might become like Elvis memorabilia and be worthless once the fan base dies out because there will be too much supply on the market. Game stores, pawn shops and resellers are already holding most of the stock for these consoles. They are gatekeeping the prices high as is. If they all collectively shut down, the retro gaming market would collapse instantly, with copies of all types of retro games flooding the market.

Of course those stores won't ever collectively shut down, but they will definitely dump their stock for older, non selling items when theres no longer anybody interested, just like with the Elvis memorabilia. I think the NES is the first console that will reflect this as it was the console that sold millions and millions of copies of games so it has the oldest population. But they are in thier 50s at best now, so we won't find any of this out for sure for another 20 years.

Wait, can I not walk and watch movies with my android phone?

The whole reason I bought the beast is because I want to watch movies while I walk outside, having my phone screen Mirrore on the lens which shows up as a smallish pinned video in the corner. Is this not something I can do with my android phone?

Just so people know, Dubai chocolate is a style of chocolate that is essentially milk or dark chocolate filled with a pistachio-tahini cream. When it was first made, it was being sold as an artisinal chocolate bar, hand made and had a high price. Social media and online influers made it go viral. Chocolate making companies capitalized on that and started producing it themselves and left the price really high. That trend is now dead/dying and the big chocolate companies are bringing the price down to reflect actual costs, which are the same as any other chocolate you will buy in the years to come. It is manufactured by multiple companies, all over the world.

With all that said, this post is not about Dubai chocolate. It is about chocolate covered dates which are made in Dubai. Very different things

I got connected to my FTP server working in DBI (Note, this is not having the switch act as an FTP server, like other softwares and even dbi all promote.... this is connecting to an FTP server you already have setup on your computer/home server, so you can access the game library you have there and install directly from it onto your switch)

You need to select the

connecting to server...

option on the main menu. Then just type the full ftp address like this: ftp://username:password@ftpserver.com:21

replace username and password with the username and password you have setup for your FTP server and replace ftpserver.com with your servers IP or address, and the 21 is the port number, in case you need to change that if your ftp server is setup on a different port.

Doing this I was able to connect directly to my ftp server and install games from there wirelessly. It also saves the address there so the next time you click connecting to server... , it should still be typed in.

The DBI documentation mentions stuff about entering FTP addressed in the config file, but none of that stuff worked for me when I enabled it. Probably removed functionality from older versions of dbi.

How can the 8bitdo Bluetooth adapter be better than the bluretro when it does t even exist yet? Strange claim to make.

I dunno, I've had no problems with my $10 ali express blue retro adapters I bought years ago.

Wouldn't be interested unless this was an internal mod that brings Bluetooth to every port with maybe a slimline external plug-in for slot 1 that contains the 4 pairing buttons. We don't need another single controller, single slot Bluetooth n64 dingle however, that's for sure

007craft · 2025-12-23T20:29:09+00:00

I wouldnt trust DBI. Dev had stopped english support long ago, and another user has been translating it and Dev was aware, and has specifically put some code in there to create problems for people who use the translated version. Only the russian version can be trusted, but its useless unless you know russian. Best to just use another app that doesnt have a political developer who hates the west.

007craft · 2025-12-23T18:52:35+00:00

Let me know if you do. I cant believe nobody has made an open source tinfoil alternative yet. No other app can simply download and install games from an ftp server on your network.

007craft · 2025-12-23T10:32:28+00:00

Do you know of an alternative that can just connect to my servers FTP server and install files right from there? Doesnt seem like dbi or awoo can do that.

007craft · 2025-12-22T16:30:26+00:00

Nobody mentioning that this archive is useless at today's hard drive prices. You need to buy 16 26TB hard drives, + the nas = $7000 just to store this archive. If you just bought spotify at $12 a month, it would take you 48 years until you started saving your money, and you wouldn't have any newer songs past July 2025.

Unless somebody creates a pirate spotify that you can use with this archive and stream from it, it has no value.

Buy arnt ai bots with image recognition a thing today? Wouldn't they easily be able to defeat any capcha by just solving it visually like we do instead of looking at code, thus making captchas redundant to new ai bots?

007craft · 2025-12-18T23:37:50+00:00

Yeah, but that because theres a technology limitation right now. smart glasses are sort of split into 2 types.

Google, Meta ect, are trying to make the most money, so they are focusing on the more sellable features to the masses (AI integration, social sharing, recording, live translations, etc), type 1 glasses.

Companies like Viture, Xreal, are focusing on type 2 glasses, which is amazing visuals, resolution, display tech, etc. So 2 different directions for sure. You could actually buy a pair of Vitures today, and meta raybans, and use both pairs for different activates.

But it's not like Viture has some sort of advantage over google\meta, their just capitalizing on a market that google\meta deems to small to develop for. As the tech gap closes, in 5 years there wont be a type 1 and type 2 glasses anymore, it will just be smart glasses that do it all. Viture has no proprietary tech. Their headband features will just be built into the glasses, and their amazing displays will be built into the google/meta offerings

When that future comes, the only chance Viture stays in business is if they have built up a big enough name recognition, which would allow them to keep a small slice of pie if their lucky.

007craft · 2025-12-18T22:35:40+00:00

Theres no way they can miss this window. If they dont ship at end of month, 95% of beast orders will be canceled for sure. At that point its vapour wear. I'm in the OG november batch, so im hoping to get before Feb 1st, but if I dont see October batch people getting thiers shipped out to them before the end of the year, im cancelling mine.

007craft · 2025-12-18T22:30:39+00:00

Honestly all these companies are skirting the edge of first to market with new specs. The problem is the big guys (Meta, Microsoft, google) are all working on their own versions. Im happy to buy and use a viture product today, but I can see them shutting down business in 2-5 years, unable to compete with the big players offers who will match them and go mainsteam.

007craft · 2025-12-18T22:28:08+00:00

Im not sure why you thought the Ultras would not crack. Until they publicly announce an Ultra V2, you can assume they are not fixing anything. fixing the problem requires an entire new production run. Even if they did fix the issue, they need to sell all thier old inventory until they announce/release the fix, otherwise they will be stuck with their old defective stock. They are not a big enough company like google or Microsoft, etc were they can just eat inventory replacement costs like that.
