    I was on a walk earlier this week, running errands, and stopped a few times to record the birds.

    Apologies for the background noise, I don't know my way around Audacity very well.

    (Edit: Mastodon.social is unhappy if I try and have all four recordings attached to the same post, so this will be a short thread.)

    In cleaning out old stuff in preparation for giving it away (see https://mastodon.social/@GamesMissed/116512177150335779), I found my old ATi Remote Wonder II.

    This came with an ATi All-In-Wonder Radeon 7500 card that I had over 20 years ago, and was the first TV recorder card I ever had. I ran a Personal Video Recorder setup at home for nearly ten years, and I still think it was better than any Tivo or similar setup I've ever encountered since.

      I gave away a whole-ass computer today! Mini-tower (Ivy Bridge i5, 8 GB of RAM, SSD), monitor, keyboard+mouse, cables. Genuinely happy to see it go to a good home. Today was Everything Is Free Day in my neighborhood, which is exactly what it sounds like. For my kids, it's like Spring Christmas. For me and my spouse, it's a day to pass things on to our community and find cool stuff for ourselves. The goal is to come home with less stuff than you set out in the morning. #Thrifting

    @gamingonlinux I answered yes, but it's more of a "very likely." I'm in no rush, but my kid adores the original Steam Controller, and theirs isn't always reliable after ten years of being dropped on the floor and handled with sticky kid fingers. I think we'll get at least one of the new ones to replace the old.

    I'm running late, but I am enjoying reading all of this #Marchintosh stuff. It's making me feel that I should poke my own PowerMac with a stick, too.

    I have a Graphite PowerMac with dual 450 MHz G4s and a clean install of OS 10.4.6. I am also nearly entirely unfamiliar with this era of Macs. Is there a safe and reasonable way to get applications on here over the Internet anymore? Or am I stuck with ferrying software over at USB 1.1 speeds?

    @gamingonlinux Caravan SandWitch is still stuck in my head. I think I'm near the end, I need to get back to it and finish it. Just need to wrestle the Steam Deck away from children first.

    @bruces The instruction manual for my Dremel rotary tool has a prominent section early on that states (paraphrasing here, because I don't want to go find the tool right now), "DO NOT USE FOR HUMAN OR ANIMAL DENTISTRY." I just know that part is in their because people have tried it.

    @gamingonlinux One of the Steam tags is "Intentionally Awkward Controls." It reminds me of Catlateral Damage.

    @captainarcee This is on a Kindle Voyage, a model introduced in 2014. I bought it refurbished in ... might have been 2017. Either way, it's not new by any stretch.

    Before you go and buy an old Kindle, check the page I linked with the instructions on jailbreaking them. At the moment it can be done on just about any hardware model, but not if it's already on more recent firmware: "Winterbreak/Mesquito does NOT work on firmware 5.18.1 and beyond."

    • ☠ Captain Arcee ☠

    @captainarcee I will recommend the Voyage *hardware* over later models for one specific reason: I believe it was the last model to have physical page turn capability. If you look at a photo, it appears that the page turn areas to either side of the screen on a Voyage are touch-sensitive sensors.

    They're not. They're *pressure-sensitive*, which means you can use them just fine while wearing gloves. If you live anywhere that gets cold in the winter, as I do, this may be valuable to you.

    @captainarcee Since it's a PDF of a scanned document, it can't reflow the text in any way, but it's quite readable. Oh, and it recognizes it as being OCR'd, so I can highlight a word and it'll bring up the dictionary/search function.

    @captainarcee I don't know! I only just did the jailbreak last week, I haven't tried a PDF yet. Hold on, let me load a PDF on to my Kindle ...

    Ok, this works quite well. I tried the PDF of "Exploring Apple GS/OS and ProDOS 8" from the Internet Archive (https://archive.org/details/exploring-apple-gsos-and-pro-dos-8), a 45 MB OCR'd book. It takes a few seconds (fewer than 10) to load it in KOReader, but after that the interface is very responsive and I don't have any problems paging back and forth through the book.

    If you're looking to jailbreak an old Kindle e-reader tablet (e-ink screen, not Kindle Fire tablets), I recommend the guide at

    https://kindlemodding.org/jailbreaking/

    I have a brief thread on the process here: https://mastodon.social/@GamesMissed/114676749049208029

      Attached: 1 image And as long as I'm messing with one set of media devices (https://mastodon.social/@GamesMissed/114676687198531218), I finished my most recent novel on my #Kindle Voyage last night, and installed the #WinterBreak jailbreak this morning in-between other tasks.

    If you are looking to mod a Nintendo 3DS or Nintendo Wii/Wii U, I used these guides:

    https://3ds.hacks.guide/

    https://wiiu.hacks.guide/

    https://wii.guide/

    Everything went smoothly for all devices. It had no effect at all on online functionality. In my experience, there's a lot more homebrew available for the 3DS and Wii than for the Wii U, but I figure that's just down to the install bases for the systems.

    Mod your devices and add or restore the functionality you want.

    Because I will attempt to run everything possible on a Nintendo #3DS :

    FourthTube (https://github.com/erievs/FourthTube) is a pretty great Youtube client. Videos load quickly, playback is smooth with no stuttering or frame drops, and the interface works well.

    Running on a New 3DS XL, installed as a CIA via Universal Updater.

    @codewiz I've taken two classes at Artisans Asylum over the years, the lessons have been extremely helpful. It's a good place. I haven't been to the new location since they moved, though. I need to check it out.

    @scribe @NekoArc Definitely this.

    Then, look into NUSspli for downloading official content, and UWUVCI for installing older games so that they're easy to access, just like any other installed software.

    @thomasfuchs @TechTangents It will charge just fine off of USB, so you only need a third-party USB-to-3DS cable.

    I don't know anywhere to find them these days except for Amazon, and I use these: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07TBV4KTY

    @thomasfuchs @TechTangents This sounds like the same setup as a Nintendo 3DS -- came out in 2011 with a pair of 640x480 sensors for stereoscopic photos.

    Features I would like:

    • Minimum of 3 days of battery life between charges
    • Always-on display (e-paper/ink like the pebble watch is fine, as is AMOLED)
    • Waterproof so that I don't need to worry about it if I jump in the lake for a swim

    ... and, here's what appears to be the sticking point ...

    • Button-based interface, not touchscreen.

    With the Pebble, I could answer calls, dictate text messages, control music playback on my phone, all without needing to *look at the watch*.

    Not a game thread:

    My Pebble Time of 8 years set itself on fire yesterday while it was charging (no harm done to anything other than the watch, thankfully). I liked that watch very much, and I keep looking at my wrist to read notifications or reaching for the buttons today, and every time I'm annoyed that it's not where it's supposed to be.

    I would like a new #smartwatch But, I am really dismayed by the current options on the market. If I outline what I'm looking for, can anyone suggest one?

    Challenged to live-toot games that I, apparently, should have played decades ago? I dabble in #retrogaming, #retrocomputing, #pinball, #3DPrinting, and other stuff as well. If you're any kind of decent person, I'm happy to be here with you. Your biology and choices don't bother me. I'm on the side that welcomes foreigners, LGBTQ+ people, neurodiverse folks, and everyone else who wants to read my thoughts about computers and games and fun.No Nazis. Ever. Under any circumstances.#nobridge
