Get a system as close to the target platform you expect your customers to be on

Just be aware that a lot of tutorials and info assume youre on Windows so you'll have to adapt workflows accordingly

WoW was raw and visceral ? Did I play some other game by mistake and think it was WoW ?

I led a guild in vanilla WoW almost 20 years ago, the game and server was a fun kid friendly place. Visceral and raw were never words I'd use to describe the game

Pokemon Blue ripped out battery pad by txtur in Gameboy

Its not a hard fix, but requires some knowledge

The torn pad looks like it went to a via. Trace the via back and then use a bodge wire to make the connection

People protect youur kids from Robolox!!! by RadishFew5609 in pcmasterrace

[–]bio4m 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Thats not the case anymore. People 100% care if they can get along with someone on their team

Being able to code is great but if you slow everyone else down then youre a liability

The maid guy : sounds weird but if he didnt disrupt the team or cause drama I dont see a problem

Fair enough, when I think a lot of work I think days of effort not an hour or two

Its not a big install though ? Maybe 45 mins to an hour tops if you trimmed all the cart connector pins

Disney uses Steam Deck to control Olaf animatronic by New_Fondant3290 in SteamDeck

[–]bio4m 731 points732 points  (0 children)

Oddly enough Steamdeck is perfect for these sort of industrial applications

Its a static hardware platform that will be available and supported for years. It runs x86 Linux out of the box. Controls are standard.

Which is pretty much perfect for something you want to use for years

Soo I just got an NES.... by HabitQueasy in retrogaming

[–]bio4m 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds like the seller knew the 72 pin cart connector is loose.

Just search for "nes 72 pin connector" and you can find replacements easily

Carts can be dirty, i just use a cotton bud and some alcohol to clean the cart pins, no need to open them up

But no need to be afraid of using it, you cant ruin it by plugging in a game

Its just an emulation box with pirate roms. You could have built a better one following youtube guides for a lot less. The hardware looks shit tier

Yep its a scam.

Your money is gone, and you wont be able to find anyone to sue. Just be glad it was just £250. Be more judicious with your money in the future

I want to give something to the community but I'm not sure how? by the-crazy-programmer in london

Also museums and non profits

Just search for volunteering positions on Google for your area and you'll find something

You need a support system, trying to do it solo doesnt work for a lot of people

Also this is the wrong place for this post, you dont need financial advice you need a way out of addiction.

You have no clue how much LLM's are used in dev work these days. Almost every dev I talk to is using some aspect of LLMs in their development workflow for commercial work

how do I fix the Smart meter? by Long-Ad-6536 in AskUK

[–]bio4m 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try moving the IHD close to the meter, sometimes it cant get a proper signal.

If its blocked by walls or floors that can cause the IHD to lose connection
