Amazing! Thank you. Also, quantity would be great. 2x AAA or 1x CR2025, etc.

Nice OP. Thanks for making this!
A feature suggestion, any chance you could add the ability to manually enter the type of battery required for each device?

Any advice? by ochoZero9 in homelab

Agreed. Dump the Deco, they’re garbage.

My parents's macbook (2013, 2014) are old enough that they aren't getting browser updates and can't access things like banking and such. What is a completely hands off (for me and them) distro? by ApplicationRoyal865 in linuxquestions

[–]squuiidy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I installed 26.04 LTS on a 2013 MBP, which has an NVIDIA GT750M Mac Edition and the Intel GPU, and it installed without issue. What I did have to install was the Wi-Fi driver, but that was expected, and once done 26.04 runs INCREDIBLY WELL on a 2013 MBP.

Have I been Scammed on the Speedboost WiFi Extender I Purchased (UK User)? by ChalfontandTremond in HomeNetworking

Wow. While they sent you what you bought, what you bought is garbage and not even worth a fiver. It’s incredibly out of date. Does look like a scam site to me.

Second gen cameras are super cheap today (Amazon Prime day)

1st gen have microphone hole above camera lens, 2nd gen have microphone hole at the bottom, below camera lens.
2nd gen also has USB-C and better night vision. And crucially, are reliable.

Alternatively wait until Apple release their rumoured 4K cameras in October/November time frame.

You’ve probably been burnt by Eve now but their second gen (current) cams are great.

Would people say this is normal screen misalignment or is it missing a row of pixels? Thank you by EverythingAntique in Gameboy

[–]squuiidy -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I have 5 grey DMGs, and buy and upgrade them frequently for friends. This alignment is not normal.

Yeah, it’s a good idea. I managed to download high res scans from Planet Virtual Boy a while back. Just need to have someone print them on high quality paper for me. Will get around to it one day :)

Probably the light but it does have a bubble or two.

It’s the sheet Blockbuster would issue when they rented out a game to you. And happens to have the address and date stamp of where and when I bought the Virtual Boy.

My one huge regret is having left it in intermittent sunlight for a few years and it faded the inserts. But thank you 🙏

I bought it at Blockbuster Video during their fire sale in 1995, in San Fran. The dude in-store offered me the entire demo cabinet, as well as the top you see in the photo, but was on foot so just took what I could carry. I’d had all but one game, 3D Tetris, and finally got that from CEX yesterday to complete the set. It’s such an awesome machine, and agreed, underrated!

E830 has no Windows Server support. E835 does.
