Did they fix the hinge problem? I read last year there was bad quality control.


There is no need to breakup Netflix and Disney. This was solved 80 some years ago with legislation that didn’t allow studios to control movie theatres. It was no coincidence that Disney+ launched a month after that law was rolled back.

Everything today ignores all laws by saying, “Yes the law says it’s illegal but it doesn’t specifically mention using an App so we can do the illegal thing with an App.”



It sounds like the Apple restriction. Apple lets you “side load” your own program without going through the Apple store but only for your own iphone.



All corporations in the US are built on stolen native American land. The US is currently run by a fascist pedophile.

No one should support solari’s maker space because it supports a fascist pedophile and their maker space is literally on stolen land.

There are Israelis who don’t support the genocide. If that company is one of those, it would be important to support them.


We have had multiple slots for decades without problems. And you can get threadripper CPU/motherboards that require even more power yet have plenty of slots.

Imo the lack of slots is companies saving money.


From what I’ve read,it’s that the 870 chipset mandates a PCIe 5 slot which means less lanes for more slots.


Malware could over write the bootloader allowing it to sit unnoticed forever.


Boycott AMD, Intel and ARM. They have offices in Israel like Microsoft and sell Israel the hardware used to kill Palestinians.


There are plenty of mods that change the game to be completely unrecognizable as a mod for Minecraft both in how they play and how they look.

Show me one. I posted several pictures above. Show me a Minecraft mod that is unrecognizable as Minecraft.

if you think Roblox is like Nintendo.

You have a platform confused with a game.

Here’s another screen shot of a roblox game:

Minecraft must have a Sonic port that doesn’t look like Minecraft. Right??? Because there is Sonic in Minecraft but it still looks like Minecraft. Show me one that doesn’t look like Minecraft.

I asked if you play anything other than Minecraft. Because according to you Minecraft can be any game.


Yeah, I’m conflicted too. It’s child labor but we’re stuck in capitalism. Lego profits off of children. Minecraft profits off of children. I’m sure there are independent games on Steam written by teenagers that Steam is taking their 30% cut from.


I’ve never seen a Minecraft mod that didn’t look like Minecraft. There are all sorts of rendering mods, game play changes, but its still Minecraft.

Do you really not understand the difference between Nintendo and Minecraft? You’ve never played any game other than Minecraft ever because you can mod Minecraft?

come on.


A platform isn’t a game. Minecraft is one game. Steam hosts many games. Nintendo hosts many games. There are Minecraft clones as games on the Roblox platform.

Recommending Minecraft as a substitute for Roblox is the same as recommending Minecraft as a replacement for Nintendo.


MCreator is amazing but it still Minecraft. You can create your own items that are crafted with your own recipe or paint a mob to look like soemthing else. Again anyone suggesting Minecraft doesn’t understand that Roblox isn’t a Minecraft clone. It makes no sense to compare a single game to a platform. “Don’t play Nintendo, play Minecraft.” ???

It’s like suggesting that kids shouldn’t play Steam games because there’s Minecraft and they can make their own modded Minecraft.

Here are some Roblox Games:


So there’s a Blender like CAD environment tied to a scripting language for those open source Minecraft clones that let you pick and place assets from a menu and then add code?

Every Roblox install installs this development tool. It’s ridiculous to compare it to the java programming needed to make a Minecraft mod.

And when you are done you hit “publish” and it uploads it to their servers ready for everyone to play.


Most of them created from literal child labor

Yeah it’s child labor but at the same time it’s kids writing their own games and sharing it with their friends. It’s the same as a kids youtube channel where they build Lego to show off for their friends- which Google and Lego profit from.


I don’t think you understand Roblox if you recommend Minecraft as a substitute. Roblox isn’t a Minecraft clone. It’s a platform like Steam. There are thousands of different games.



It doesn’t matter that they have no basis for a lawsuit. Nintendo starts a lawsuit, no matter how ridiculous, and the developer has to pay a lawyer to defend or they lose to default judgement.

The US isn’t like EU. Everyone pays their own costs whether you win or lose. If you win, you can then start a new lawsuit to recover legal costs but that costs more money and you aren’t guaranteed to recover the money.

Edit: I don’t understand the downvote. It’s exactly how the US system works. I experienced it with a contractor. Contractor took the money and didn’t finish. I sued and won. He then sued saying he was owed all that money back for absolutely no reason. Of course it didn’t even go to trial but I still had to pay my lawyer to defend myself. Otherwise it would have been a default judgement for him.


There’s no precedent. Nintendo sues, the developer doesn’t have money for lawyers to defend themselves so they remove it.

That’s how it’s been going for a long time.


Jerryrigeverything has said don’t buy Pixel because they have horrible battery glue making them worse to repair than Apple.

But it’s probably still the best because of Graphene.



I don’t know the game but I recognized the screen shot as movie star Robert Pattinson too!

Funny how media can stretch realism to the point that a movie star known for being handsome is considered “normal”.


I don’t own one but I’ve been watching a lot of YouTube on the Thermaltake 600. I like it because of the looks and vertical arrangement which should be better for lower fan speed while not overheating and no GPU bending.

But I’ll probably get a Fractal North because it reminds me of an Atari 2600.



They run Linux but you don’t need to know anything. They work out of the box. Guides are for upgrading to different user interfaces. You do need to learn how to make a copy of a micro SD card because the ones that ship with the devices are extremely low quality and will quickly fail. I use the one from Raspberry Pi. It’s for installing pi OS but it does anything. https://www.raspberrypi.com/software/

Installing a different OS on a hand held is only picking a different image file like Knulli or GarlicOS when copying onto an SD card.


If a movie rescinds the license to play then you get your money back.

Like when Amazon pulled to license for people who purchased 1984.

I have/had ( bought for friends or myself) Anbernic 35xx, 35xx SP, rg cube x, 351 mp.

There are so many variations that it’s really personal preference. Like are you doing 16:9 games or 4:3? I wanted something for old arcades like pacman and space invaders so I got the cube. That screen ratio also happens to work well for Gameboy

Yeah Miyoo only makes a vertical and a flip. Retro game corps says the flip has some quality control problems.


I have a RP3+ but after using it a while, Android is too much of a hassle.

Miyoo Mini or Anbernic equivalents running Linux are so much easier. There’s no setup- just put your roms in a folder and go. I spent hours on the Retroid just trying to to get launchers looking nice and emulators configured.

But the critical feature is Android will never have is fast boot. When you hit the power on the Miyoo it saves the game state and completely powers down. It doesn’t go to sleep like Android where the bat is dead a day later. The Miyoo will have power weeks later. And because it boots in 10 seconds right into the middle of the game exactly when you hit power off, it’s not a problem to wait for a full boot.


Oh sure, it was crazy. But the sentiment behind it was good. It’s like how Howard Dean got dunked on for his scream.


It’s weird how MS’s putting developers first became a joke. Back in the 80’s, companies like HP and IBM had open warehouses with coders at desks lined up like factory workers. MS was the first big company to give a private office to every programmer.


Its $500 today but at the time it was $1500 and required cable and beacons.



Yes my kids have done makecode and scratch. But getting a 3d model moving that can be played by others provides a motivation that makecode and scratch don’t offer.

As to abuse, every platform takes a cut of profits. If you make a game for free on Roblox there’s no profit and therefore no money lost. That’s nicer than the Apple model where you have to buy Apple products and pay a yearly Apple license for the privilege of giving Apple 30%.



Sure Python is better but getting interest is more important.

And makecode to Minecraft doesn’t transfer to anything else either. -other than logic fundamentals which you get from simple lua programs too.


That’s sad. You could have played with her.

Roblox is a game store like Steam where most games are free instead of Steam where most are paid.

A unique feature of Roblox is the default install comes with the free tools to make your own games so it’s a great way for techie parents to teach programming to their kids.


Roblox is a platform like Steam. If you don’t want your kids to spend money on games, don’t give them a credit card.


That says they are minority and it seems like it was before IPO. Google doesn’t even show them in the top 10 owners so it’s less than 5% ownership.
