Is it better to get a Mayflash HDMI adapter, or just a generic component to hdmi converter like picrel? Not looking to spend too much, just something simple.
>>107726972Just emulate with a real Wiimote.
>>107726972I use an OSSC, it's quite good and the input lag is minimal.>>107727144Can't play GameCube games on a Wii U.
>>107729040You can via homebrew, has to be on a SD card or USB, no disc compatibility.
>>107729055How do you plug a controller?

I wish I built a computer in 2019. I'd be happy with a 2070 today, and I could make it last. I think I'm going to be stuck on my toaster for the rest of my life at this rate.

>>107726746>2070it's 2026 though?
>>107726746Learn from your mistake and build one now.It will only get worse. Much much worse.
>>107726746Alright go buy a used 2070, what's the big deal
i built mine in 2018, r5 2600 and rx 580, still see no reason to upgrade, the only vidya i play is cities skylines
I mean why be a baby duck (Windows XP/Vista/7/8/10) when you can be a penguin (Linux/SteamOS/Mint/Fedora)?>You get Steam working again. In fact the steam hardware survey revealed more people use Linux than Windows 7.>You get real Firefox, Brave and Google Chrome instead of hacked together GitHub projects>You get a choice of desktops, including ones with Aero Themes.>Linux supports your old hardware and doesn’t need a TPM or a 8th Gen CPU.>No end of support schedules, use your hardware as long as you like.It's 2026, 6 years since Microsoft abandoned you, it's time you upgrade to a real OS.
I'm thinking about transferring my esim from my Samsung a16 to my pixel 8a. My a16 can't upload things in Chrome anymore, always refreshes the page when I try. Spotify crashes sometimes..My pixel is way snappier, smaller, I can actually upload things etc.But I had my a16 for longer and have been using it as my primary phone for so long. It's my baby. I don't want to desert it like that. What do?
>>107727432You need a psychiatrist, not tech support.
>>107728388>You can't transfer eSIMs.If _you_ can't, then your carrier is shit.
>>107727432>pixelWhere microsd card slot ?Useless ewaste
>>107727432My mom has a16 and complains about the stuff you mention too. I am thinking of getting her an a56 instead but she's like, "don't spend money on me doooon't"
>>107727432>using ChromeSuperior alternatives exist. That or you're just probably fomo'ing for newer stuff.

>>107728794What do you mean "sounds like monarch mk4". It sounds different to everyone.
i'm too lazy to check the code right now what are the odds this is malware https://github.com/oskvr37/tiddl
wait until >>107728794 finds out his monarch mk4 drivers still costs less in parts+manufacturing than the cable
>>107728905dude thats crazy surely you have taken this knowledge and started a business already right?
wait until >>107728995 finds out nvidia gpu chips cost $2 in materials
2026 the year of no RAM
but the RAM was put to good use such as all the Jesus AI slop on X that boomers make.
if there is no RAM than how are you computing?
>>107725289I've got two 16gb DDR5 sticks that I'm super tempted to sell 1. 1 stick would sell for more than I paid for the whole kit right now and 16gb is enough these days right?

What operating system is most authentic for a retro setup like this?t. zoomer
>>107728894you're running a 2015 demo on a 2013 cpu? you must be a wizard
>>107728851technology has moved really, really slowly the last 10 years.
>>107728894I ran vkcube on hd5750sit down
>>107729017the most absurd thing i've run on a haswell was spyro reignited trilogy (2018)... on its' integrated graphics
>>107729017I took a bunch of pcie risers and cubemaxxed
https://flathub.org/en/year-in-review/2025
>>107722512It's not, though. Take a look at the average Arch package - it's compiled with all the options, maximum bloat. The kernel? It's bloatmaxxed with all the drivers and then some.Now, that's a good thing if you want that... but if you're some hyper minimalist freak who can't stand bloat at all, you're gonna pull your hair out and install Gentoo.
>>107710248I love how trannies live rent free in your retarded brain
>>107727881>says retarded>defends tranniesChecks out. Bullies usually become trannies.
My Linux boot is running out of free space :(
>>107723494You can recreate the PS2 lighting and missing models etc with mods, plus you can fix some of the stuff that will remain broken forever in the PS2 version
>Use KDE gayland, everything is slow, low fps, input lag, weird frame pacing that doesnt feel smooth even with a smooth frametime graph in games>Use X11 with Xmonad Tiling window manager, It just werks, everything werks, no latency or input lag>High FPS, gaming just werks and I get 20fps+ more than gayland for some reason and its buttery smooth>Fast with zero bloat, Configure everything to my likingAt this point, I wont even use any desktop environment on linux if it isn't X11. Even XFCE is dead to me because it has wayland support. I will never support anything wayland based on linux.I'm X11 pilled.
>>107727352not relevant on my hardware (t440p)
>>107723429And I'm calling that anon a liar.Holy fuck this board is full of retards.
>>107723134Does X have a tiling window manager with at least a short window moving animation?A tiny animation goes a long way. Instead of pushing a button combination and having your brain do a quick inefficient "spot the difference".
so I'm not the only one who noticed it every time? I keep thinking "surely wayland is way better now" but no it's fucking broken and shitty every fucking time I try to use it for more than like a day or 2. Never bothered with sway or hyperland
>>107728902>Never bothered with sway or hyperlandthe first 2 things I'd try with wayland. Fuck Gnome and fuck KDE, I don't want them on either x11 or wayland.

Why is C++ so hated?
>>107727990Rust doesn't have that problem
>>107728764It does, it's trivial to dereference a null pointer in Rust. But nocoders will always find a way to blame anyone but their own incompetence.

How many keys does your ideal keyboard have? What's your favorite layout?
>>107727760same here with German. How do you do your local special characters? I use the menu key as a compose key to access umlauts
>>107719065got the same one, but cleaner
>>107719043Anything less than 104 tends to fuck up my muscle memory
>>107719043Thick, full-length, uncut 104-key keyboards as intended from the beginning.
>>107727760Same. Accessing [] and {} is so fucking painful on a Finnish layout.Either I have to do some retarded finger gymnastics or I have to cross my hands :DFor those who don't know you have to press alt gr + 7890 to type those characters.On top of that you lose the right alt key which makes a lot of key combos really annoying to press.Whoever came up with this needs to be shot.

>>107728508works in my datacenter...all the three manufacturers have the same defect rates overall, some serials are known to have slightly higher defects especially on particular capacities like above 28TB or with hamr but that's about it, it's usually easy to id and avoid them.>>107728534high-capacity datacenter hdd have a special noise they make every 5seconds (no, not the zfs 5s write), it's called preventive wear leveler and iut's a known thing in the dc world but I've seen many average coomsumers thinking their hdd was broken because of it.>2TB hdd went down with all my criterion collection. seems like a (you) issue...NEVER buy two disks that will work together (same pool, raid, etc) from the same batch>I WISH THEM DEATH EVERY FUCKING DAY.I (we at work) have more issues with wd drives desu and it's getting worse with time, I don't know what's happening at this company but it really looks like they're giving up on making good stuff, it would not surprise me if wd sells itself and kills the wd brand.>>107728886>>107728915you guys are talking about hitachi and not toshiba which is still one of the three manufacturers and make good drives
