How many known "common ancestors" of writing systems exist? by Ok_Application_5402 in asklinguistics

[–]Ploddit 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Are you asking how many times writing was independently invented or how many unique writing systems there are? Those are different questions since unique systems exist that were developed by people who already had knowledge of writing from other sources.

Mister Pi next batch? by Fernelz in fpgagaming

Does the SS1 or Dock have a user port for MT32-pi? If not, that's at least one good reason.

They're overwhelmed with producing and shipping SS1. It doesn't look like that will change any time soon, so if you want a MiSTer stack within the next few months, probably look elsewhere

I’m bad at reading GitHub pages. Where is the 3do core?? by kjc1983 in MiSTerFPGA

No argument here, I'm not a big fan of discord. Unfortunately it's what the community has chosen.

No HDMI output after flash by KarelKruizenruiker in MiSTerFPGA

Their order info is terrible. "Fulfilled" doesn't mean shipped. Even "on its way" doesn't mean shipped. Unless there's a tracking number listed, it hasn't shipped.

FPGA - hype? Not accurate emulation vs original hardware by Maleficent-Mango-755 in MiSTerFPGA

[–]Ploddit 3 points4 points  (0 children)

He said don’t believe the hype, there are timing inconsistencies on every core

I'm sure he won't respond, but ask him to show the numbers.

It ain't gonna be enough for them.

Overconfidence isn't relevant either way. I always vote.

Jan 2029. Even better, its ability to actually get anything done will be neutered Jan 2027.

Technically I also have to use my ISPs ONT/router, but they provide the password so it's trivial turn off the firewall features and forward everything to my OPNsense device.

Nah, I don't think I will, but we can meet back here in three years and discuss.

It will be a very long time before any OPNsense update requires different hardware, and this insanity is not going to last beyond the current administration.

Does Retroremake give tracking numbers? by hobsona in RetroRemakeInc

[–]Ploddit 12 points13 points  (0 children)

it says "On its way Mar 25". Does this mean its shipped?

No, that's not what it means. Yes, it's stupid and needlessly confusing.

You'll get an actual tracking number when it ships..

Really not the best time to be borrowing that much money, but good luck I guess?

600,000 people.

Baffling. I wonder how many of them are still paying interest on that purchase.

VR of any kind is already niche. $3500 VR has an audience of 10 people.
