@RavenWorks thanks, that's definitely given me food for thought

Stop saying Steve Jobs' middle name was "hand". You shouldn't spread misinformation even if it's funny. His middle name was "paw"
@RavenWorks Btw the Tab S7+ is 12" right? How do you find that size for reading on? I've been looking mostly in the 10-11" range cos I thought 12 inchers might be a bit bulky/heavy to hold, but a bigger screen would be nice...
@RavenWorks Well I mainly want it for reading right now yeah, but i do see myself wanting to use it for other things once I have it & I don't want to be too constrained by a crappy processor
Like I don't need a top end powerhouse but I don't want something that apparently chokes on 1080p youtube playback either
@Triplefox yeah i'm trying to pick one that has a guaranteed couple of years updates from the manufacturer at least. a lot of the budget brands are tempting in terms of specs for the price but they basically get no updates
@Triplefox I do have an old kindle kicking around somewhere tbh but I'd like something more flexible & also able to install some official manga reader apps
Hell I still have an old Teclast x86-based dual Android/Windows tablet too but the Android side is way too outdated to be usable now & even when new it had app compatibility issues, it was surprisingly way better as a windows machine
one i thought was interesting was the TCL NXTPAPER 11 which has a paper-like textured screen that apparently makes it good for reading but the downside appears to be that it has an absolutely potato level CPU in it that struggles with pretty much everything
current thought process: this anime i like has finished its current run -> maybe i'll read the manga -> but i don't like reading comics on a computer or phone -> hey i should get a tablet! -> now i am researching cheap tablets (recommendations welcome btw)
image uploads aren't working for me atm so just imagine i posted this niche reference here as well https://bsky.app/profile/taizou.12bit.club/post/3l5i2u5j55u2i
@arielmt hey, i haven't been able to post images on here for a couple of days, i get a 500 error, and now images from other instances don't seem to be loading either, is something up?
watched the latest episode of elusive samurai, didn't realise it was gonna be the last :(( i hope it gets renewed
it's a very good show though, you should watch it
yesterday i released a new version of my GBA dumping program that now "officially" supports YJencrypted dumping (it's been on an experimental branch for ages) https://github.com/tzlion/vfdump and also documented the extremely tedious process for dumping those carts https://github.com/tzlion/vfdump/blob/master/YJDumping.md

new blogpost! I took a closer look at MMC/SD history, and the deeper I dug, the less truth I found in the common factoid that “SD happened because companies wanted a card with DRM” - to a point where I’d like to dispute it in general.

I really hate "two factor" auth. Like, cool, I get it, it let's you pretend you can divest responsibility for security and recovery, but also it means dropping my phone too hard could be a life disrupting event so somehow I don't really feel like this is for my benefit.
was feeling like shit today but I had a curry and I think it has fixed me
