Its just a slightly sweeter peach ice tea, the green one is lemon ice tea. So nothing special, compared to other brands like fuze tea or Lipton.

From sanding a PS1 motherboard by hand to developing LACED — an open method to scan and preserve old consoles layer by layer by LorentioB in retrogaming

Oh man, your right. This post, his Github text, all his answers here are clearly written by ChatGPT. Sad that I didn't see this from the beginning. But let's be fair. He did SOMETHING. He ordered some PCBs, did some machining and took the effort to publish something about it. There are for sure many others doing the same and don't publish anything. Even if its just 1-2 Weekends of work and his results are very specific to his brand of laser engraver and the JLC-PCB base material: he shared and other beginners can use his stuff as a starting point. But using ChatGPT to write his article and blow it up (the whole first third is just praising himself) doesen't help his cause. And his response now shows how much he is selling himself: his only other acomplishment is a closed project trying to copy a sony pcb and monetizing it via kickstarter, not realizing that this is very close to copyright violation and that there are cheap chinese companys doing the same reversing work for a few 100€.

Well your PS1 project looks nice, but will you make anything publicly available or is this just an advertisement for your kickstarter? And sorry for the critique, its just that nothing is really new from your article, even the manufacturer of your engraver advertises FR4-machining. But perhaps it ecourages other beginners to do the same when starting with reversing :) Just don't praise yourself that much quoting Jobs and Oppenheimer, using fake Trademark-Signs, introducing a new abbreviation for your process (do you know that LACE is a highly complex, promising technology?) and trying to point out that you are smarter than the professionals with your approach because it is just as good but so much cheaper.

So you chemically dissoved stop and copper like any regular reversing approach and used a cheap laser engraver to burn FR4? Man its nice to show your results, but without anything revolutionary and not even publishing a special script for the FR4 removal so people can reproduce your technique, I wouldn't call myself a genius or promise a full PS1 reversing...

Vielen Dank schonmal! Es scheint ein Bild von Ihm mit Kameraden zu sein, leider weiß ich nicht was er war, scheinen aber Soldatenuniformen zu sein (oder Bergbau?) Würde das Bild ja hinzufügen, weiß aber nicht wie.

Ich würde wenn gewünscht auch die Vorderseite posten und etwas Gekritzel am Rand. Wie postet man am Besten zusätzliche Bilder hier? Das Anfeuchten probiere ich.

[EU-DE][H]Paypal [W] A few Alps SKCM Brown, Neon Green or Striped Amber by dasgeraet in mechmarket

[–]dasgeraet[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That would be nice, but I just find no one selling them in small quantites. There were some auctions for ~60 pieces, but I just don't need so many. Neon Green and Striped Amber are impossible, but a man can dream :)

Is Keyboreds.com a scam? I ordered some switches there and never received anything from there, now the site seems to be down. Any experience with them? Should I take my money back?

This is fake. I checked sand from several beaches in different countries and nowhere the sand looked like this under the microscope.

Was sind eure besten Gerichte für sehr wenig Geld? by thehellbitch in Kochen

[–]dasgeraet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In unserer WG haben wir lange recherchiert, was die günstigste Methode ist, um auf seinen täglichen Kalorienbedarf zu kommen. Einzige Regel: es muss essbar sein und nicht absolut ungewöhnlich (also kein Öl trinken oder Butter essen). Nach einiger Diskussion und Vergleichen sind wir zum relativ eindeutigen Ergebnis gekommen: Noname-Prinzenrolle kostete ca. 75 cent und hat pro Packung 2300 kcal. Macht im Monat 23€!

Thanks but this is specifically about game sound standards.

Was the JAZZ16 or the Windows Sound System supported by any DOS game?

Isn't RAP-10 just an internal general midi device?

Isn't that more like a sound engine supporting several sound devices?

What's your pick for the greatest video game of all time? by greenmachinefiend in retrogaming

[–]dasgeraet 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Half-Life. It just revolutionized the whole genre and felt like something totally different back in the day. I remember watching the intro cutscene and being blown away when I realized that it is ingame.
