@mavica_again my experience is that they're all still hot ass yeah.
the only good one i ever had was a Gadmei UTV380 which they stopped making years ago (and it had jacked up drivers too ofc). when that broke i tried like 3 others which were all terrible, even ones that supposedly used the same chip family. now i use an upscaler connected to an hdmi capture instead, that might be an option worth looking into, there are sub Β£10 upscalers & hdmi capture devices although i can't vouch for them

A fess on behalf of my cat, who pretends to dislike my dog. How do I know she pretends? Because I recently got home CCTV installed and I can see from my desk at work that she grooms him & snuggles up to him on the couch when I'm not there.

Google's getting rid of the ability to view cached pages. Even though they weren't a permanent archive, I'm going to miss it. Itβs been such a useful way to find copies of pages with the actual search result on dynamic pages where the current version doesn't have what Google found.

A few times I have told the anecdote that the singly most baffling thing I ever saw in a code review β not the most insecure, just the most βhow could a real programmer have written this? how could this ever make sense?β thing β was simply a C++ variable βnumber_of_trucksβ β¦ declared as float. Unambiguously referring to real physical trucks in a fleet.
Reader, itβs been over ten years and I am blowing the gods damn whistle. I had edited that story to protect the guilty: the variable was named number_of_planes. It was shipped by a company whose name begins with βBβ and rhymes with βGOING out of business.β
It is actually possible to make MediaWiki fully mobile responsive while retaining all its navigation and functionality you know! I did it with the theme I made for https://museum.12bit.club !!
Fucking hate mobile MediaWiki themes that suppress half of the functionality of the thing. Tried to look at Zelda Dungeon on mobile and there's just literally no navigation at all. Had to set it to request desktop site to even see categories ffs

Ok Mastodon, this is what you are supposed to excel at, niche shit. Let's find this a home.
My teacher has a few shelves worth of Japanese digital #Karaoke discs. It's free to anyone who wants it. Located in #SFBayArea #γ«γ©γͺγ±

'Eating rice, China' (1901-1904) is probably the most important historical photograph I have ever seen.
