goddamnit @retrotink.com just making me unplanned spend $$$ like that early in the morning on a weekend like that, I see how you are.... For reals tho, I run the 4K on my primary TV. I have the 4K CE on my workbench (soldering station). I want the 6X to be my portable/studio scaler!

(1/3) As you already know Mike announced the new Retrotink 6X CE which comes with pre-installed profiles on a SDCard from different creators. I have added 1080p & 1440p profiles for various analog consoles. Here are a few screenshots showing R6xCE output. But wait there is more...

Gaming Anniversaries; on this day 10 years ago, an Xbox 360 was sold in Japan.

I have 2 remaining drives from a 3-drive RAID-Z1 setup. I can only mount 1 at a time... So let's mount it, image it to my local drive as a disk image inside of a ZFS dataset. And then md those images, zpool import from those, and SEND/RECV the dataset inside to the host!

Got to see a demonstration of @tas.bot having fun with Super Mario World on the Super Nintendo today!! :D

I'm at @magwestofficial.bsky.social this weekend. I used to be a professional photographer in the cosplay scene. I so totally brought the camera with me this weekend. Should I bust it out? Is anyone actually interested in adventure these days...? I have absolutely no idea these days...?

So @namecheap.com's email hosting, PrivateEmail is offline. What did they do? They setup the domain for the email service to redirect to Twitter w/ a status page... and you know what the fuck Twitter does these days? THIS. You wanna know how you lose customers? Yeah, this shit.

For those of you interested in collecting ultra-rare video game stuffs.... Just came across this on eBay :-O www.ebay.com/itm/40712829...

Rare Nintendo Employee 20-Year Service Award Bronze Statue / Sculpture | eBay

The statue is made ofbronze and mounted on a marble base. It certainly wasn't a cheap promotional item or mass-produced giveaway. I have also personally seen her20-year service certificate from Nintendo, which supports the history and provenance of this award.

Had this interaction yesterday. While I do enjoy trying different beers, and sharing my passions on the channel, I'm also fully aware of the difficulty and unhealthy relationship many people have with alcohol.

Why am I done with Windows? Because "updates" sit at "100%" for significantly longer than any other part of the update process.. This screen is there easily 5-10 minutes every time. What the hell is even the point of a progress indicator, if the entire thing is a blatant lie ???

Random thing I saw out in the wild today. Don't really get to see these all that often. Fully intact, still running the software on the thing without issue too!

I'm doing some work on a Windows laptop right now Explorer lost the ability to drag n drop files, as well as lost the ability to copy paste files *THIS* is the type of shit that is exactly why I stopped using it for my primary workstation. All the lost time from random BULLSHIT like this!

Non-gendered, single occupancy stalls with full privacy rather than these bullshit half-walls. That's it, that's the solution. Not to just this, but like everything involving non-binary needs to take a piss or shit. A toilet is a fucking toilet, regardless if someone has a penis or not.

Decided to head up to Kerry Park for today's Blue Angels show here in Seattle. Yesterday I walked over the Glazer's Camera to pick up a polarizer, it did not disappoint! I've missed shooting with one. :)

The #sfge #vcfse just opened in #atlanta and we’re with the Mimms Museum of Technology and Art with a few items from #seattle - come by and say HELLORLD #vintagecomputing #retrocomputing #retrogaming

I see a lot of people calling this ironic since Microsoft owns LinkedIn, and Microsoft is one of the largest players in the AI space in general. But AI training data being fed AI generated content risks a model collapse when done at scale. So why not let users flag AI content to exclude it? ;)

"AI is inevitable. You're going to be left behind if you don't just fully embrace it. I'm owed access to talent without having to exercise any of the discipline to get it." LinkedIn just added a button to report AI slop XD

Today is the "practice" day for the Blue Angels here in Seattle. Speaking of "practice", they always give me a chance to practice fast-object-tracking with my camera. LOVE when we get these wispy clouds in the back ground to give them some texture to play around in! ;)

I picked up an iPod Mini 1st Gen (2004) on eBay a while back as a prop for a video, and replaced the battery. The thing still works great otherwise! And the Apple Music app on this MacBook Pro M5 MAX still perfectly supports the thing !?!? Just plug it in, and it "just works" !?

I'm safe, I'm not in Seattle at all right now. But this hits WAY too close to home...

I never talk about my HomeLab... erm... HomeProd all that much, so today, I'm just gonna create this thread with a running log of all the things I'm working on / fixing / updating just to give an idea of what I actually do behind the scenes in tech!

A little context... I created a build system for Stratipi, my Raspberry Pi time server over the past half-year. Now I'm ripping the entire thing apart, pulling out all ARM, Raspberry Pi, and Time Server code entirely. Alls I can say is that this was intended from day-one, and gonna be AWESOME ;)

Circuit Rewind@circuitrewind.com · last mo.

First real work on my Stratipi build system in a couple weeks. Hhhhhmmm... what ever could I really be working on though..? ;)

I was told you couldn't do 3D on the Playdate, so I did it. Then I was told there was no way I could create exterior levels like those in Mirror's Edge, so I proved them wrong again.
