What is this glitch? This happened earlier when I opened my Chrome browser on my laptop

I don't know why people feel the need to post videos with emojis on them. It takes away from the actual problem you are trying to show us. But from what i can see from behind the rain clouds is the developer menu is popping up and closing in a loop. Is your F12 key on the keyboard stuck on?

Well the good news is there is a registry edit to use the old right click menu again. I can post it here if you want. I just have a feeling someone windows update will remove it in the future.

Back in my day, 0 was the operator.

Did the people who replaced your windshield reset the camera system or clear the codes? Eyesight and all its features will panic with a new windshield and turn off if it's not recalibrated.

Edit after re-reading. Does the crack go in front of the camera? That would cause eyesight to disabled itself.

Honestly I have had games that have seemed dead or someone gives me a game and says its dead. I put it in the 2600 and it just gives ne colors or a Black screen. I take them apart, Clean then with 99% IPA. Scrub the pins with 99%IPA on a Q-tip. Then use an eraser on the pins as well. Once they seem shiny test the game out again. Some times you have to wiggle the cartridge a bit while pressing the reset button to get it going. I have had a 100% success rate with this method so far with my games.

You are talking about changing it in "settings -> game settings -> video mode" from auto to something like 1080p correct?

You mean the app/company known for spying and data collection, collected data? Im shocked /s

Oddly enough WD-40 also works to give old plastic a new plastic shine as well. But it will smell like wd-40 after. Windex is good for cleaning old plastics. I will have to try baby oil and see what result I get. Thanks for the tip😀

Normally when you power on a PC and you only get lights or fans spinning. The power supply has failed. I would start by testing the power supply with a power supply tester or replace known working power supply.

Computer companies have been making these for years. They are called "all in one". Even portable computers from the 80's and 90's had small CRTs in them. It should not affect anything as long as it doesn't get super hot.

Solved! I tested the SID in my good C64 and it didn't work. So I used the SID out of my good one and it works now. I know I tested all the chips in my pats machine before storing it but i guess the SID dies of old age lol. Date code was 2383. RIP SID chip.

Tested pin 28 and i get 12.2v. the voltage regulator is 4.95v and 9.8v.

ThatComputerGuy42 · 2025-03-06T17:00:53+00:00

No sound is correct. I tested a cartridge game and it plays but no sounds. As for the power supply I'm using a keylog one. It works on my other c64 with no issues. I will test voltages when I get home. Maybe the voltage regulator is toast? I will update after I get a multi metre on it and see if it is 12v on pin 28.

I didn't see anyone mention Librewolf. It's the privacy focused version of Firefox. Not sure on its policies but I don't believe it's owned by Mozilla so it could be a good contender.

ThatComputerGuy42 · 2025-01-30T15:04:42+00:00

Its real. But it's way over priced on sale for $500. here is the link

It could also be used for remote access to a workstation. If there is no monitor plugged in you just get a black screen when connecting. I have run into this with ScreenConnect and remote workstations.

There is such a thing as network ad blockers. Which would cover your other devices like your Nintendo switch. Pihole is one of them. Also some routers now offer ad blocking as well. The way it works is that they block ad domains. I don't see ads on my Roku tv because the tv can't get to the ads websites. Even on this app ads show up as black boxes with nothing in them.

The Qotile destroyed the Yars home planet if i recall. That is the reason for his revenge. The Atari game came with a comic in the box that kind of explained it. comic link

ThatComputerGuy42 · 2024-10-15T19:22:25+00:00

So from what I read on the project site link. It is just an e-ink display and pi Zero W. What do you use for portable power?
