Happy 25th birthday, Game Boy Advance! To celebrate, I am happy to announce the Game Boy Enhance is FINALLY here! The Game Boy Enhance (AGBM) is a circuit-level recreation of the Game Boy Advance. It uses almost all-new components, but still uses the original CPU - it's not emulation!

Just got my first claude-generated Ticket today at work. If you know the colleagues it's painfully obvious...

In the same manifesto, Palantir's owners argued that we need a national military draft, that soft power is over, and that we were too hard on Germany and Japan after World War II. I don't think that company should be allowed to exist anymore.

The "Pro Fighter X" series of SNES copiers has kinda stupid disk handling code: it doesn't filter out FAT entries on floppy disk that should never be displayed, like the Volume name ("CHRIS"), directories, and long filename chunks. This causes errors during display & loading. So I RE'd and fixed it.

"Pro Fighter X" SNES copierIt's displaying the volume name first, "CHRIS" then overlaying invalid entries into the file list. Also tries to load invisible files...My disk fix code. Done through a bit of searching and trial-and-error, since these BIOSes don't run on emulators, and no SNES emu emulates floppies anyway...Pro Fighter X file display fixed up!  Also with a new tilde glyph added into the font, as well as a new custom SFC background

I've been using Apple Music on Android for seven years now, with my whole family on my plan. And suddenly I'm not allowed to use the app anymore, because I decided to take ownership of my devices? Your loss, I know how to navigate the high seas. #AppleMusic #Android #root

Screenshot of the Apple Music app running on a rooted Android device, saying "Only available on Unrooted Devices / Apple Music is no longer available on rooted devices."

Fuck Mod Retro and Chromatic. I know there's no ethical consumption under capitalism but Palmer Luckey is a Zionist who creates AI weapons. It isn't that hard to spend your money elsewhere

After being extremely cryptic about the new hardware project I'm working on in my last "photo of my monitor" post, here's a hopefully less cryptic one. Now that more things are working, here's a clue that is hopefully a little more obvious about what it is:

A photo of a monitor showing a PC BIOS screen from a system with a Pentium III CPU. In the area where it detects drives, it shows: "Primary Master : NoneIDE CD-ROM 52x Desk Shaker              v0.0.1"

And now we come to the end of Season 4 #StarTrekVoyager. "Hope and Fear" the last episode to stack from laserdisc NTSC-J (Japanese) - there is a Season 5 on laserdisc but by that time DVD got their act together and its superior to upscale from. Loved showing u raw LD stick with me as we upscale!
