It wasn't my first video game, but it was my first on the Gameboy! Good times.

I guess they couldn't balance the experience around two players, but I still would prefer the option to try it.

Say what you will, but pain is a vibe.

The ideal software should take 45 seconds to crash after accidentally hitting the wrong button on your remote. in c/microblogmemes@lemmy.world

Maybe something like this would do the trick. https://www.newegg.com/lg-55ur340c9ud-55/p/N82E16824026275

I've never bought a commercial display, but I've heard of them as alternatives to smart TVs. I don't know about the management software on this though. Additionally, I hard that some displays are really meant as signage, so they don't display moving images well. It may require more research than buying a consumer TV.

I can't reproduce the CPU spike, but Windows is overall slower. Strangely, the calendar on the taskbar takes a long time to load the first time that I open it.

Maybe. On one hand, I'm inclined to agree, but I also don't know how many of these sorts of tunnels exist. There's one connecting mainland Japan with Hokkaido too.

Edit: The Wikipedia page lists oodles of underwater tunnels, but most are well below 15 km long, with the channel tunnel at 50.4 km.

Great addition to any vessel in c/funny@sh.itjust.works

This sign looks like it's fixed to the vessel, so it should be correct unless they put it in the wrong place, or someone decides to read it upside down without correcting it in their head.

If AI is so good at coding - where are the open source contributions? in c/programming@programming.dev
[–] Abnorc@lemm.ee 12 points 1 week ago (1 children)

The idea that AI will some day be good at coding isn't the issue. The issue is that some people in management think it's already well on the way to being a good substitute, and they're trying to do more with fewer coders to everyone's detriment.

Denuvo will lock you out of games on Linux, SteamOS, Steam Deck if you keep changing Proton versions in c/linux_gaming@lemmy.world

Denuvo, hearing that the music isn't as good, the performance issues, and crashes have all but killed my hype for the game. I might still cave in and buy it, but I probably should just support a better company instead.

I don't use Inkscape, but that is a good hat.

Right? In the past we got software for free when we let companies use our data. Now they want to take our money too.

As far as I can tell, Doom the Dark Ages has it, and many reviews are quite good. I don't know if they're good enough to convince me to install it though. Maybe I'll wait until they remove it months or years later.

APF Mark 210 found on the side of the street (lemm.ee)

Does anyone happen to know where to find the manual or additional info on this calculator? I found very little info on this site, but that was it (http://www.calcuseum.com/SCRAPBOOK/BONUS/15091/1.htm)

The electronics seem to work, but the printer only feeds up to a certain point, where the paper is right below the ribbon. Then it stops feeding even when I press the up button. If something is wrong with the printer, I admit that I don't know where to start with troubleshooting it. The metal parts that push the ribbon against the spinning numbers also don't move at all, but the two plastic wheels spin the ribbon around.

I've tested all configurations of the switches above the keypad, and I can't seem to turn off the printer either. That probably is just a result of me not knowing how to use it though. If anyone has troubleshooting advice or even just ideas on what sources to use for further research, it'd be much appreciated!

First Impression of the KZ ZSN Pro X (lemm.ee)
 

These are my first IEMs! They are very good for the price as I expected from the reviews, but I didn't expect them to sound almost as good as my over-ear headphones. (soundstage aside)

Maybe I'm just imagining this, but I feel like I can hear more small details with these IEMs than my over ear headphones in higher price brackets. (Sennheiser HD-599 and Beyerdynamic MMX-300). In your experience, do IEMs beat the value of over-ear headphones in lower price brackets?

Either way, I'm impressed by this product. If you want to try some IEMs without spending a lot of money, I can definitely say that you should look into these! After owning them for longer, I'll see if my opinion changes.

Question on installing an alternative OS and cell service providers. (lemm.ee)
 

I am thinking of trying a new OS on my Pixel 8 pro, and I’m wondering if switching will require me to inform or update my cell service provider, Verizon, in any way to stay connected. When I just moved my SIM card from one device to another, I learned that it activates an anti theft feature after a couple of days of working normally. This was easily fixed with Verizon support, but it was a hassle since I’m still on my parents’ phone plan. Am I likely to have this or a similar issue after installing a new OS, or should my cell service and data continue to work?
