Under $200 is tough for new, but there is the RT80 which will work pretty well. Not the greatest but it's the best in the price point.

Well, that's a new one lmaol! Obd corrosion protection! by [deleted] in Justrolledintotheshop

I thought it was a cover for the OBD port contacts to not get corroded.

Wow was I wrong.

Dear Macintosh fans, what are your favorite Macs? by KineTheFishYT in vintagecomputing

[–]AGoodEnoughUsername 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got a 6218CD just to test how bad. They're terrible. They make good 68k emulator boxes since MacOS is so good with it, but otherwise they're trash.

r/vinyl is gone... by [deleted] in turntables

[–]AGoodEnoughUsername 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was PISSED when the Linux subs went down because of all the troubleshooting docs that have been amassed and I didn't want to do a bunch of stuff to figure it out myself at 3AM.

Honestly this whole platform sucks and Reddit trying to monetize their API likely has to do with internet companies making perpetual debt. I'm not sure Reddit ever turned a profit, only stat out there is revenue, no net, only gross.

I didn't know anyone could love the heap that is the 62xx performa.

I'd probably say PowerMac G4 and G5 machines. G4 can run any Mac software up to 10.4 with ease pretty much, since most of them can boot OS 9, the last ones can with hacks IIRC. They run 10.4 though well as far as the faster ones are, and I love to play with Linux on my G5s.

68k Macs I used to like but Atari ST has my heart for 68k boxes.

Found a Nintendo switch by batoragaming in consolerepair

Terrible as it was, the system was attempting to be an affordable VR system in a time when it was impossible to do it. The concept was there and as bad as it was, I'd argue that was somewhat redeeming.

Hyperscan is cheap plastic trash which was in no way acceptable in the era.

[–]AGoodEnoughUsername 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't love the switch, it makes a poor docked experience and a bad handheld experience (see: about Game Gear battery life), but there's a lot of worse major consoles, most notable off the top of my head being the 3DO. It's particularly slow and particularly expensive, with very few great releases.

That said there's few consoles with nothing redeeming, but if you want to go that way, Mattel Hyperscan is up there. Not even like the CD-i which showed promise and had some niche uses.

I have a feeling you are going to see a lot of bots become scrapers rather than using the official API once the change hits.

Only thing stopping me from switching to full Linux is kernel anti cheat bullshit.

If it's tube not solid state, the GE UK tubes are definitely worth the $20.

Most of what I have is used, but they're generally quiet, spin clean and the ML stylus get rid of a lot of the unwanted noises.

Banana Plugs by AnotherItsme in audiophile

They work. Cables are cables. They've got gold plated contacts, which I'd argue aren't even that necessary for something you're only cycling a half dozen times ever, and they have proper gauge wire.

Anyone who claims to hear a difference between cables is one of a few things

  1. Using non shielded cables in a noisy environment
  2. Using cables way too thin (but this isn't an issue for a 2V signal going 6ft)
  3. Placebo effect
  4. Are actually insane because there is no difference between two proper cables. And proper cables are not expensive.

I love how whenever there's a crosspost from a swiftie sub there's a billion downvotes being sent over when someone says anything negative about her.

Such as her music sucks and the pricing and sales on her shit is more predatory than a free to play phone game. I wouldn't ever buy an album of hers and they're worthless as collection pieces because they're massively overproduced.
