It certainly feels a lot like reinventing the wheel. Although I can’t think of specific server software that works in a similar fashion, I wouldn’t be surprised if those have existed since, dunno, 2008

Non-american here, can you give a rundown of what that CAFE act was about?

No doubt with lines like “They only hate Israel because of their religion” and “The IDF is protecting me, despite being Palestinian”

One day I’ll do a exploit-free playthru of Morrowind. But it’s not this day…

After Nintendo saw how much the Wii succeeded while effectively being a gamecube with motion controls and a DVD drive vs. two “top tier titans”, they never bothered again with being at the forefront of tech, which possibly felt like a homecoming, considering the Famicom was kinda underpowered at release, but cheap to produce.

A PS2 with FreeMCBoot is always a great option. If you can get a phat model and stick a HDD there, you’re golden

This is literally one of the most common scenarios in Brazil. The city of Sao Paulo alone had over 103k cell phones stolen in 2023, almost every week on the news there’s a story about someone being forced at gunpoint to make a bank transfer before the criminals flee with the cellphone.
