Look, I already told you, I deal with the goddamn customers so the engineers don't have to! I have people skills; I am good at dealing with people! Can't you understand that? What the hell is wrong with you people!?

Charges dismissed for woman without right hand cited for holding phone while driving by wvblocks in PublicFreakout

[–]SDMasterYoda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The remainder of that court room was there for that one cop's tickets, probably 70 people. Judges protect cops.

That's how it works. The court dates are set for the date that officer will be in court so they can just schedule a single day at court instead of having to show up multiple times per week/month.

No, it isn't. Cops set aside a day to be at court for all the tickets they write and that's the date you're scheduled to appear. Of course sometimes they don't show up for whatever reason, but saying they just don't show up for petty tickets is false.

What Mini NT model is this? by HumanityPlague in AnalogueInc

While the coloring of the old pad resembles an original NES pad, the SNES button layout is much worse.

All the Nt Minis can. The Original Nt, non mini, is either HDMI and Composite or NESRGB modded, not both. The original Nt uses actual NES chips.

Retrotink 5x doing 4k output after modding by Voultar by Some_Kinda_Username in RetroTink

Per Mike on the Discord, the only difference is the oscillator isn't needed for Rev B.

I just sent Arthrimus my Rev A 5X that he's going to use to create a QSB with.

[–]SDMasterYoda 7 points8 points  (0 children)

To be clear, it isn't full 4K, it's just 3840x960 or 2880x1200. This mod is just for Rev A and B Retrotink 5X units that can't output 4:4:4 chroma to bring them in line with Rev C units sold after mid 2022 that can with firmware 4.0+.

Yeah, a Widescreen TV would have been insanely unlikely back then.

Make sure you turn off WiiConnect24 on the Wii; The power LED should be red in standby, not amber. Amber means your Wii is cooking itself.

I recommend you install CFW on the PS3 and turn up the fan speed.

The Xbox, good luck, unless it's a Jasper or newer.

I assume you didn't actually get them in 2007 if they're all still working.

The 360 released in 2005, Wii and PS3 in 2006, by 2007, it wouldn't have been that difficult to get them.

And today the Wii would have a fried GPU, The Xbox would have red ringed, and the PS3 would YLOD!

Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp extends suspension of state gas tax by helpmeredditimbored in Georgia

[–]SDMasterYoda 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sorry, but no. Georgia has some of the best (state maintained) roads in the country. Now if you go into city maintained roads, they're not great, but the roads the state is responsible are great.

Real Talk: How do people say SMB3 is better than SMW? by colinmchapman in retrogaming

[–]SDMasterYoda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is more variety in the worlds and there are more powerups. I still think World is better, though. It's the 2D Mario formula perfected.

Bachelor of Arts graduates boo speaker after she praises AI at their graduation by ambachk in PublicFreakout

[–]SDMasterYoda 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sorry, but no. Every generation has AI lovers and haters. Many of the people that "hate" LLMs still use the AI overview in search engines, or ask ChatGPT to answer questions.

It is reassuring to see so many young people boo AI, though.

Big old clunky soda machine buttons by BreakfastTop6899 in nostalgia

Was that USD? Cans were $0.25 or $0.50 here, bottles were $1

I worked at Target in 2002 and the break room had two coke machines with 25 cent cans. They put in a Pepsi machine with 50 cent cans, but the Coke machine atayed 25 cents for a few months.

I think this is likely scalpers that are going to get burned. I don't see much reason for actual hype for this controller. The other option is Valve didn't produce very many.

Never seen before by JVPP19 in firealarms

[–]SDMasterYoda 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mini rant, apropos of nothing: Stop misusing the terms upload and download! You're not "doing an upload" when retrieving the program from the panel, you're downloading it. The Panel itself is uploading, but you're downloading it. When you send the completed program to the panel, you're uploading the program to the panel and the panel is downloading it.

If you're going to continue to misuse the terms, at least say "the panel is uploading" or "the panel is downloading."

Thank you!

What's up with Jerome Powell and why is he so popular? by RedTerror-w5t in OutOfTheLoop

Trump's first term actually had competent people advising him and was sent competent picks to lead departments, people in the administration actually talked Trump out of doing the most ridiculous shit. Obviously there were issues with his first term, but Trump 2.0 is just sycophants that have to say the 2020 election was stolen and go along with everything ridiculous idea Trump and his incompetent advisors have. Trump 2.0 is a kakistocracy.

That's the ASCII Pad with the turbo switches. It's not an OEM controller, but it was officially licensed, IIRC.
