8·3 days agoI do hope people realise that 7th gen and earlier consoles are still fucking awesome. Yes, that’s PS3/Xbox360/Wii/GBA/DS era.
Some of those still have lively homebrew scenes. Hell, the Wii just got a new (physical) release game.
Reject modernity. Embrace retro.

2·4 days agoHmm. Not sure I agree with “just mark the parts that are AI generated” because that obfuscates the parts that were human made, skewing perception towards “it’s all AI gen”.
Require the full accounting - human, clanker, level.
- Design - Human
- Implementation - Pair
- Testing - Assist
- Documentation - Human
- Review - Human
- Deployment - Human
Reads differently to
- Implementation - Pair
- Testing - Assist
4/6 human vs ?? / Human is a different trust signal (which is what this is actually about, right?)
PS: I’m a fan of acronyms, so how about “show us the STACK or show us the DIRTY”
- Spec (Design)
- Testing
- Assembly (Implementation)
- Checks (Review)
- Knowledge (Documentation)
Or
- Design

- Testing
- Yeet (deployment)
Those are rookie numbers. They need to pump that up. $10K a console, and you need to scan your retina to use it.
Ya know… for a luxury good with literally dozens of other, better options… “Make it impossible to buy our stuff” is a dumb hill to die on.
Oh well.

You could not live with your failure. And where did that bring you? Back to (Lem)my.
- Brands increase prices
- People stop buying brands
- Brands cry foul
- Oh no! Anyway…
The trick, William Potter, is to bleed the people just enough to satiate your parasitism without exsanguinating them, eh?
Gee, we’ve never seen that trick before.
Does shreddit not work any more?
Ah but redreader parses old.reddit.com. So with the proposed changes, you will probably need an account to use even the excellent RedReader.
IIRC, when the APIpocolypse happened, Reddit tried really hard to nerf Redreader. They got shamed into allowing it access again on accessibility grounds.
It’s only a matter of time before it stops working.
Take solace in knowing that “lol, fuck reddit then” is a perfectly cromulent response to this.
I just hope Lemmy doesn’t become Reddit 2.0
Oh no! Anyway…
EDIT: Just to be clear, I am not dismissing OP. I’m saying “fuck Sony” and “this would be a good time to convert to PCmasterrace or go retro”
Ive seen LTO for sale in person at the $300 USD mark…but I admit that’s a rare occurrence / fire sale. So that “as little as” is probably not fair. Sorry and retracted.
EBay shows some in the $1200-1500 USD range (and maybe closer to $3-4K brand new).
That now makes me feel stupid for walking past one at $300 (“tape drive? Who the fuck needs that ancient shit”) but I’m willing to bet that wasn’t a lto-8, in hindsight.
Even my LTO-3 claim is not as remembered; I can find a lto-3 for $60 USD here locally (not the $5 I jokingly claimed), with cartridges in the $15 USD range.
Not bad, but not 12TB per cartridge.
All of this to say; the DVD shuffler + pi intermediary (+ NVIDIA shield if needed) is probably the genuinely better version of this. Bizarrely.
Huh. Thought it was stock standard AOSP - perhaps the Aussie version is different? There are a few rebranded versions of the same hardware; you might be able to find something non proprietary. I think the underlying model is UNIWA if you want to go spelunk direct listings

Where did you find the info that the TTFone uses a fork - XDA? Possibly it can take CFW?
In any case, if it’s no go, it’s no go.
PS: The other target might be a the Cat 22 flip but that thing has a face only a mother could love. I have seen clean CFW of the Duoquin models too - multiple threads on XDA - but that’s candybar not flip
PPS: let me spelunk the 8020 for a minute. I have to imagine it’s an off the shelf re-badge. EDIT: Hmm…looks like it’s bespoke enough to NOT be a simple Shenzhen rebadge job.
Yes - I have the rebranded Aussie version

It runs Android 8.1 and had no issue running Molly the last time I tried it. I really like that little nugget - let me know if you want a list of apps or launchers for it. Note: you’ll have to use Fdroid, Droidify, Aurora store or direct apks, as it doesn’t meet play store compliance.
If the TT990 is android 14, then it should work even better.
I can also confirm that my Duoqin F21 runs either just fine, but that’s cheating
Back to the TT970; the keyboard is fantastic (download the true TT9 app) and it even runs futo voice (albeit a touch slowly). If you get one, try to get the 1750mah battery - it helps.
Standby is just bang on 2 days for me.
Some people just want to watch the world burn
Good luck with that. I still have functional PCs that are 20 yrs old and perfectly fine as Jellyfin servers.

…because Kaios is essentially dead?
Stop enabling my drug addiction :P
You know the fun part is you could just about use a 750 zip disk to steam video. Read speeds are about 7.5mb/s…enough for 1-2 simultaneous 480p Jellyfin streams.
Shit…everybody about RAID and here we are suggesting RAIT. No school like old school.
I still think the “DVD shuffler clockwork JF server with AI upscale” idea would be more fun to build tho, because as stupid as it sounds, the maths adds up. It would be gloriously cursed, but 3000+ hours of video is 3000 + hours of video.
Right? I still have my OG Xbox 360, Wii U etc, with physical discs.
For a while, I went the other way; I bought a Lenovo M93p (think: size of Wii) - it runs everything up to PS2 era at 2x resolution, as well as PC games to around 2015/6 era (and later indies). Total cost was under $100. I turned it into a kiosk with Playnite, so you could turn it on and be playing whatever in under 10 seconds.
Right now I have the OG Wii (modded) sitting in its place…something about the joys of original hardware speaks to me. But I could (should) swap the lenovo back in. That way I have Just Cause 2 sitting right next to Mario Kart Double Dash, right next to Luanti and modded Fallout 3.
Part of me thinks “eh, emulation” but the other part is “dude…not everything is Nintendo”.
