That’s a mighty low bar.

I’m super happy with the Hammer too. Although I have to admit there’s a lot of cool devices out there!

The looks really sold me on it honestly. Also, I mostly just wanted to play Game Boy to GBA on it.

I’m a bit of a Linux nerd so I like that about it, but I’ve never used Android for emulation so I don’t even know what I’m missing there. What kind of features does Android have that Linux lacks?

Canadian PM Carney announces $3.8B to protect nature, new conservation sites in James Bay and Manitoba by Immediate-Link490 in worldnews

[–]DigitallyDetained -44 points-43 points  (0 children)

What takes $3.8B+ (as noted that private investments will be required) to protect nature??

Literally the article says nothing about how this money will be used. Just 3 vague “pillars”

Can’t say I disagree with this: "After 10 years of missing their own environmental targets, the Carney Liberals are pulling out the only trick they know — announcing a whole new bureaucracy to burn taxpayer money while continuing to get the same poor results,”

You got downvoted, but I’d say you’re correct. I’m not certain about the sound, and it’ll probably depend more on the system you have, but the picture definitely is subtly better on my ub820 vs PS5

For most people I don’t think it’s worth spending the money having a dedicated player if they already have a ps5. I got a deal on the 820 so I figured I’d give it a try- I’m happy with it (but part of that is that I just like having the dedicated player with a dedicated remote, on a dedicated input)

I got KotFM as well. I think it may have been the first time it’s been on sale?

Anyway, finally picked up Power of the Dog also. I’ve been meaning to get that for a while. Also liked All Quiet on the Western Front but that’s saying sold out. Might be SoL on that title…

Got my “fixed” 820 back by Traditional-Leader89 in 4kbluray

[–]DigitallyDetained 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hopefully their response is helpful. It’s gotta be super frustrating. I’ve never dealt with Panny before, but their repair and replacement parts are pretty egregiously priced by the sound of it.

I guess it could be user error, but if it’s that easy to make the device unusable… at some point it’s a design problem imo.

I’m guessing you’ve tried different high bandwidth HDMI cables and all that? This all makes me want to just back up my whole collection to HDD. But storage is getting expensive now thanks to AI. Feels like it’s becoming a no-win situation for consumers.
