I have a bunch of different old consoles and vintage computers (not “444” of course) and used to try to have them all hooked up, it was such a miserable rats nest of wires. I eventually settled on just using one at a time (I am only human, after all).

Whatever I’m playing gets the prime hookup spot in front of the TV, everything else gets stored neatly on a shelf or in a box. Cables and controllers are in individually labelled zipper storage bags, in bin drawers, out of sight until they are needed…

Of course, hooking them all up is a hobby itself… It’s easy to go down a rabbit hole of scalers and SCART switches and RGB mods and then you suddenly find yourself a couple thousand dollars poorer.

Gentoo for the last 20+ years. Slackware before that.

Ran something or other off dual floppy drives at some point in the ancient times… A boot diskette and a root diskette.

I have a Samsung 4K HDR 120hz TV and can’t really tell any difference between it and my ancient non-smart Phillips LCD TV that it replaced.

I have an Xbox series x with 4k hdr enabled and everything still just looks “normal” to me.

120hz is slightly noticeable compared to 60 in games that support it, but not a huge deal. 99%+ of what i do on my TV isn’t 4K, HDR, or 120hz, so it’s not extremely valuable. From “couch distance” anything above 720p is unnoticeable anyway.

I also have a windows 11 laptop with 4k HDR screen and disabled HDR in settings because the colors were all horrible looking with it on. Honestly I run it in 1080 instead of 4k because it uses less battery, performs better, and many programs don’t work correctly at 4K, and i can’t tell the difference anyway. Tiny pixels are still tiny.

I realize this whole comment may come off as old man “get off my lawn” fist-shaking. I’m not trying to downplay other people’s experiences who seem to be genuinely impressed by these features, and maybe I’m just “holding it wrong”, but for me, personally, I regret spending extra for the whole 4K HDR thing.

Ironically, Microsoft has retired the “Microsoft Office” name.

The acronym GOAT has been around since well before those zoomers were born, probably before most of their parents were born, so don’t feel too embarrassed!

I’m using the EasySSHFS package from F-Droid. Similar to mounting on Linux, you must create a folder as the mount point. For example, on my phone I first manually made the folder called /storage/self/primary/mnt in a local root terminal in connectbot (create a connection, protocol local, type in “su” to become root, grant access when prompted, then type “mkdir /storage/self/primary/mnt” to create the directory)

In the EasySSHFS new connection setup, i put that path in the seventh field on the form. In the sixth field is the path on the remote server that you wish to mount, for example /home/khorak

In the other fields give the username and password (or key file)

The last field contains the mount options, I did not need to change them but you can if needed.

EasySSHFS needs to be allowed root access.

Once you mount, the folder created previously at /storage/self/primary/mnt will contain the contents of the remote server. In my case, using this path makes it appear like it is on the sdcard in android. I can watch videos using VLC or listen to mp3 songs etc as if they are local on my phone.

Rooted yes, custom rom no (pixel 7). But on previous phones, custom rom once the manufacturers stops providing updates. Using Magisk, all my banking, Netflix, McDonald’s, etc still works because I have it hidden from those apps. Root apps I use are things like adaway, wireguard module (not using android vpn), sshfs, 3c toolbox, tasker. And generally having root shell access to do whatever I want to do.

I am in the US and street addresses are visible and searchable in Organic Maps for me. I don’t know if it depend on the area or something.

It seems to be affecting people who have multiple users at up on their device (this includes work profile, which runs as another user)

I’m on the January play system update but don’t use work profiles or multiple users and have been okay, so far… Fingers crossed

It’s a Japanese game compatible with the Japanese Master System or Mark III, which uses a different sized cartridge than the overseas SMS. The Japanese Sega SG-1000 used this same size cartridge, and the Japanese SMS/MKIII were backwards compatible with them.

The Samsung Gam-Boy (South Korean version of the Master System) also used the Japanese-style cartridges.

In Japan, they used the “Gold Cartridge” branding for first-party releases and “Silver Cartridge” for third-party releases.

Island is great. My wife runs ecommerce and social media accounts for her job (and has her own side business at home) and used to use 2 phones, with Island she can run parallel sandboxed copies of certain apps at the same time (ebay etc). It’s the first thing she installs on a new phone and at this point she’d refuse a new phone if she couldn’t use Island on it. With the normal work profile, she’d have to constantly switch between profiles and miss out on real time notifications.

The “Games” series was made by Epyx. First was Summer Games, followed by Summer Games 2, Winter Games, World Games, California Games, and California Games 2. They also released The Games: Summer Edition and The Games: Winter Excision. All of these games follow the same basic format.

California Games did have some more versions, Apple II, Apple IIGS, DOS, MSX, Atari ST etc.

Was it The Journeyman Project?
