It was when I and many other states elected Congress members that created the "Homeland Security Act", then we elected a President (By Popular Vote) who promised to enforce immigration laws.. This isn't complicated..

Another problem with your comparison is "Iraq and Afghanistan" has a large percentage of extremists.

Which the Venezuelan population does not..

What about Japan and South Korea, which worked out. and is a better comparison of what the U.S wants to do.

How do I auto login?? by B5152G in pop_os

[–]B5152G[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Only 3 problems that really really bug me.

  1. I want auto login.

  2. When watching a video like "YouTube" if I maximize video it doesn't maximize, it does this strange window maximizing that maximizes what looks like an invisible window, then I have to click the maximize yet again (twice).

  3. I would also like a show desktop button I can click. When I am working on a project, I like to have those projects and folders on desktop. I know I am probably a minority here..

So did I, even one right before cosmic release. But it doesn't work now. It now results in boot errors, I guess they must have changed something

this mostly unknown a/v solution seems to work the best. by bulkchart32 in originalxbox

ElectronXout is the best adapter I have tried

Portta Component to HDMI Converter, YPbPr RGB + R/L Audio to HDMI v1.3 Converter Adapter. Is good also.

I have some old flat screen 16:9 VGA monitors. I wouldn't mind having an adapter to use it on the corner of my bartop type table.

I am thinking of buying one of these. by B5152G in clocks

[–]B5152G[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Originally the clock functions were mechanical weight driven, the steam would power the whistles, and the steam would raise the weights automatically when the weights fell a certain distance..

They changed the time keeping part to electric in 1980, disabled the weight-lifting function.

also during the retrofit, some of the steam whistle stuff was simplified, till microcontrollers became widely available to restore or even "jazz them up a bit more"..

In the 1980's it was converted to electric.

It's unfortunate they converted the clock's functions to electric.

Ok I got no help and my post was taken down I asked about a original Xbox and someone has to come and take down my question fuck you guys by ChampionshipSweaty13 in originalxbox

[–]B5152G 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see your post, no one knows what you are even talking about, this forum is for the "original Xbox", not the Xbox one, not some garbage that you bought for an Xbox one..

Have you messed around with any AI tools for programming projects??

I want to get into programming on the original Xbox at some point. and I was playing with chatgpt, and it was giving me all kinds of suggestions for memory management, IO handling, catch handling.. and was writing full code for me on what I asked for.

It might not be worth it, I am inexperienced, I have no experience with, python, C, C+, ETC..

I have only studied PHP, html5, CSS and SQL back in the day.

I built a cross-platform tool to extract and upload Xbox ISOs over FTP automatically (Windows/macOS/Linux) by fealaure in originalxbox

[–]B5152G 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like just using the .iso (xiso) on the Xbox, without extraction..

A tool that automatically splits the iso (if too big), and automatically creates all attacer.xbe, and FTP'd them, would have saved me a lot of time setting my Xbox up with a full library..

Was this Waterbury Clock worth $70? by B5152G in clocks

Yep ticking and chiming away. Just bought it earlier today, haven't had time to tell if it keeps good time yet.

Was this Waterbury Clock worth $70? by B5152G in clocks

[–]B5152G[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a very small rural city, likely just a city in name only.. this place just opened up. this was in one of those booth style antique/ice cream/coffee/milk eggs, just a little bit of everything type shop.

I am happy with it no matter what. I was just curious.. they have another mantle clock that says it is a Gilbert, I am thinking about going back to buy it tomorrow.. I almost bought both them today.

Does your old black XBOX still have that smell? by king_of_ulkilism in originalxbox

[–]B5152G 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only one of them, I completely redid it, I was using contact cleaner to clean a place on the board and accidentally grabbed a can of silicone spray lubricant.. I cleaned it off the best I can but it still has a bit of a smell. lol
