Lots of good info here, I see Genesis 1 service manual and schematics. Service manual even has a PCB diagnostic flowchart.

We had one that grew up with another family that had dogs. If she heard a car door, she’d give a tiny growl before jumping up to the window to identify the visitor. 😂

GameFAQs.com launched November 5, 1995, although it didn’t have that name or URL until 1996.

I still have the “Intel Celeron Inside” and “Ready for Windows Vista” stickers on my physical trash can at work.

My family still runs two of this mobo, but older revisions. I remember hearing about bugs with IOMMU but I can’t recall any USB or other problems.

IOMMU can be disabled in BIOS; it seems that it would only be useful if passing devices through to a virtual machine? Is that a valid assessment?

FUTO is apparently already evil.

Don’t have a cow, man.

StarTropics for NES had a “letter from your uncle” in the manual, that you had to soak in water to reveal the submarine’s activation code when you reached Chapter 4. I think that was the only time we used the Nintendo tip line, because of a lost manual!

Some games let you keep playing without the correct code… until the difficulty automatically ramped up to impossible levels.

It hasn’t been updated in five years. I’m not sure of the current state of things in Android, but apps used to be able to access all kinds of personal data with zero permissions: listing all installed apps, access to sensors/accelerometers, battery level, when charger/headphones were last plugged or unplugged.

My friend’s dad worked at a local electronics store, so he was the only person I knew that had the “weird” consoles - Sega Master System and TurboGrafx-16. Alex Kidd and Wonder Boy were the favorites, of course… I liked how you got to buy your choice of weapons in Fantasy Zone.

Years later, I found my own SMS at Goodwill! I need to get a multicart because I only have Fantasy Zone, Ghostbusters, and R-Type.

Peter Thiel has moved past “anything I don’t like is terrorism” and on to “anything I don’t like is the Antichrist”. He’s telling other billionaires that the Antichrist will appear in the form of government regulation of AI.

If a husky had brain damage, how could you tell? 😂 /s

Pupils look fine, the brown iris is just much darker.

The already compiled patches are available as .ips on romhacking.net, so you can use Lazy IPS CLI or GUI or Lunar IPS for Windows in WINE.

I run a GTX 980 Ti; Maxwell architecture is still supported for three years. Older than that: Kepler support ended last year and Fermi support ended in 2023, and they won’t play nice with kernels released since then.

It’s an old meme, sir, but it checks out.

Good thing many huskies have the colored and not totally dark eyes; they give you at least some clue of the current craziness level.

AFAIK, you need to use seperate drives and install the OSes in such a way that each drive has its own EFI partition. (Installing with the other drive disconnected is the easy way.) Then only use your UEFI boot selection menu to choose which drive to boot from.
