Oh ye, makes sense. I shoot at a foam target we hung between 2 trees because we dont like the things you shoot at, but i imagine arrows die quickly haha.
Even we destroy each other’s arrows once in a while haha

Seeing how my take down recurve easily cost 200, youve been set for life i think haha

Interesting writeup with some interesting techniques. I should read these some more

Same. I agree that people are too stupid to know what apps they should use. But that also includes those using some of apples closed down, limited apps and features haha

And diablo 1 has devilution ( or whatever the name was ), which is cross platform and works fiiiine

Wait, that works now? Ive seen the project few years ago but it wasnt good enough then. Awesome! I have to build that at home ^^

Even today i find it important as the knowledge of how things work is vanishing and many just accept it works. But how will we build upon an idea if everyone forgets how it works?
There is also the idea within software that layers of bodgework upon one another creates overcomplex and unstable software. Thats everything but software you want to ship.
I understand you dont want all hobby work to reach professional levels, specially if youre trying something new! Thats ok!

Its just once you reach a certain level things have to change to make it not suck, dont build on that :')
Also one of the reasons i dont like retroarch.
But i will accept they fill a need that is very much wanted and needed by people and there isnt really anything like it

I get that, but imo thats dangerous. I will admit i live for tech and i get the basics of it all but understanding it is imo important when changing such settings because it can create other issues too.

But maybe im not the correct person to remark on this because i have a distaste for retroarch :p

I find this kinda… Bullshit.
Bluetooth controller’s lag does not get lowered by turning on game mode on your tv. All you did was lower the response time of your tv to display the image quicker ( by turning off some image processing ). Your bluetooth controller will still lag lol.

As for the settings in retroarch, that could change when it’ll process the input and can lower the lag, but without a list of the settings, im calling bs there too.

Edit: frame delay? Really? That will just delay the frame so its more in sync with input because input processing is not in sync. Nice one

Oh im not saying its perfect or any good, just saying what the logic was :p

I personally use both azerty and qwerty lol

Yes, because in french you need the special characters more often than numbers

Im not french and we still use this piece of shit. Thanks belgium.

Also, us/international qwerty isnt that great either imo. Uk qwerty is better

Thats good to hear. Might have to switch back to the flatpack then!

Im not using wayland lol
Too many issues in linux mint (cinnamon) last time i tried :')

The flatpak has (had?) Issues of not being able to stream application or desktop audio. The system package can and is way more up to date.
Flatpak is not the solution to everything lol

I know what i did to the ps3, and i know what needs to be done. I barely use the ps3 so its fine for my case. The real fix can also be to redo the ihs so the solder doesnt crack or get damaged again because of heat. Also, ps3 also got a lot easier to debug with syscon, which was also only (relatively) recently discovered. Sure made debugging the ps3 easier haha. Ive left the connection available on my ps3 for future usage hehe

Ye no, ive have a ps3 that ylod which i reflowed back to life. After it was working again i started digging and the temps the core was reporting wasnt even close to the ihs that i measured with thermal couple. Also the thermal paste is on top of the ihs, not under it and it wasnt soldered in place. Early ps3’s did cook themselves. Less than 360 by a long shot, but they still did!
Also, side note, its funny how some 360’s rrod was not due to the heat issue but can also be caused by power supply failure or the plug being faulty. Thats how i got and fixed my 360 🤣

Ok so, let me set this all straight.
The wii had nothing to do with the gpu but with the die of the gpu that nintendo had designed and kept secret.
Inside the gpu die is both the gpu (hollywood) but also an arm core called starlet. It runs the security software and thats where (rarely but happened) things went wrong, as it was always running code, even in standby. This had nothing to do with ati.

And the ps3 was not what you said. The ps3’s problem was that the ihs wasnt making a good enough contact to the core so the heat of the cpu didnt transfer well into the cooler. You can fix this, but is very tricky and is easy to permanently damage the ps3 in doing so ( you have to cut the silicon under the ihs without touching the die or the pcb, remove the silicon and do reattach it with less glue ). This could be contributed to the manufacturer i suppose

Do they also make cables that dont have the power pin (21 iirc?) Connected so both gpu and monitors try to power each other and never actually power up?
