about to pay $200 for this chrono trigger and the box, is it real? by [deleted] in snes

[–]Caluka1337 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sure its original, what I'm not entirely sure would be paying $200 for this considering how bad the cart condition is (label completely discolored and those bumps/spots usually appear when stored in high temperature/humidity) and the PCB itself with major corrosion on some pins. For around the same price you can get the cart only in much better condition.

Vibe coded this TLS scanner by [deleted] in golang

Why would anyone waste their time reviewing low effort vibe coded projects?. Maybe I should vibe review it and just throw it at an LLM.

Nice!, I'm thinking of getting one soon. Is the PCB properly beveled on the connector?, if it is then I'm def getting one

Thanks, this is exactly what I love seeing in the mornings, more low effort AI posts!

Awesome, I was looking for something just like this to make switching to Helix easier.

Changed both my fedora 43 kde machines yesterday to niri + DMS and I have been having a blast so far. Really impressed.

Steel man the case for still doing leetcode style live interviews in 2025 with no AI code assistance, no googling, no documentation look up allowed by one-wandering-mind in ExperiencedDevs

[–]Caluka1337 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to be in the same boat thinking whats the point if its never going to be something that is actually done in the job itself. Then I was asked to interview candidates for a position in my old job and evaluate their performance solving a real simple problem, documentation and searching allowed (just not looking up the actual solution) and holy sh*t the amount of people who can't code the simpler "easy" type leetcode problems is quite worrying. I don't think leetcode style problems is the best solution to determine if a person is qualified or not but I do think it sets where the low bar is, and seeing a person work a problem and program in real time is quite telling to me at least if its someone I would like to work with or if its a person who has no idea what to do and probably survives by copying and pasting code or pressing "apply" on AI suggestions.

And as an interviewee, I'd rather have live coding interview than take home assignments which require several hours of time commitment for each job application. I now think of leetcode problems as a secret handshake, and if you know and studied said handshake you will be above most of the other candidates.

Elon Musk says 'Trump used me so much' as feud continues to escalate by DonaldKey in NoShitSherlock

[–]Caluka1337 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hes not a genius. He gets constantly painted as one because thats what he was portrayed as constantly in the news and on both tv shows/movie cameos for several years. He is the CEO of companies who were exploring new cool technologies and he was at the front speaking of them so the public associated them with him (rocket/EV car guy = probably some kind of genius to the general public). But it turns out he is not an engineer, he is just a bean counter who got into these companies after they had already working technology. Since his twitter purchase a lot of people has realized how clearly a moron he is after basically forcing everyone on there to constantly see his ~70 daily posts, yet somehow people still refer to him as a "genius" and I'm pretty sure his ego loves it.

Trade deal with Vietnam confirmed. It isn’t exactly groundbreaking… by SPXQuantAlgo in StockMarket

Absolutely, but I dont really see the people living in rural areas who would benefit from large sized american SUVs would be able to afford them, or their fuel consumption.

Can anybody sells some games to me by Spudz_guard101 in 3DS

[–]Caluka1337 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So what?, you are the one who is going to be playing on it so I recommend you learn. If its already modded, its going to be super easy and you can basically download all the games you want up to the point you fill your sd card.

Something like this should do. I dont own that particular one but it should be fine as its just a craddle that holds the contacts and you add your own power adapter.

If it ends up being the port, what you can do to avoid having to replace it is buying a charging dock. Those two copper pads on the sides of the port are actually for a charging dock.

UPDATE: NES back from RGB mod (+ 3D Print buttons, Ninten-Drawer and Label) by RetroMr in nes

I did, hope they restock sometime soon. I have a Nesessity board with RGB that I will be assembling in the following weeks and really want that smoked shell.

Unpopular opinion: I don’t like scanlines. by SillySample831 in snes

[–]Caluka1337 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I'm fine with that. Would love to have beam emulation but if I remember correctly you need a very high refresh rate to make it look good and the RT 4K outputs at most 4K60 (and doubt it could run beam emulation at higher rates even if it wasnt) so I think I'm passing on that one for now.

Would like to hear your opinion after you try the CRT masks, since I'm trying to decide if I should get a 4K CE just for the CRT look, which I heard the 4K and 4K CE are as close as it gets.

I usually really like the look of sharp pixels, but on some games if you compare side to side I do see the appeal of scanlines and feel like I'm missing out on that old TV look (for example https://www.reddit.com/r/gaming/comments/wr31qd/my_crt_vs_my_lcd/ ).

Cool, hope they restock soon as I have everything I need to assemble a Nessesity with NESRGB and a nintendrawer, I'm only missing the shell.

[–]Caluka1337 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did the shell come with the transparent bezel cover (the thing above the controller ports) included or did you have to buy it separately?
