@takoto honestly its rare enough that charity shops near me even have electronics at all, let alone anything good

it probably helps that those US thrift stores are massive so they have enough room to take in random stuff like that even if it's pretty big

@VaporMarxPlus@mastodon.social Yeah works great for me

@kiwa@bitbang.social it's an HDMI scaler but it's not set to scale anything rn, it's just there to stop the signal from dropping out for so long when the console resets
and also seems to stop the picture jittering which I didn't know it would do but it's a bonus tbh

"hey why don't we just make one box that can do all this reliably" said no one ever

look at the amount of shit I've got hooked up now just to capture fucking famiclones

ok NOW we're gaming

@Beanycatte@chitter.xyz god yes

It's gaming but not too gaming you know

well I ordered one at like 6pm yesterday and it arrived this morning lol
it's nice!!!

@kiwa@bitbang.social so true

@fesshole Sounds like something a cat would say

well my old laptop has started hard resetting every time it wakes up from sleep so it probably is time to get a new one after all

Got a USB WiFi adapter that first mounted as a fake CD ROM drive with some software that I had to install before it'd actually function as a WiFi adapter. That's a new one on me. How does that even work

I'm now thinking what if I Just Got A Laptop and docked it in with all my desktop shit (monitors, mouse & keyboard etc) when i want to go desktop-mode 🤔​

then i could just have one computer for everything & the high price of the laptop would be less of a stinger since it'd be replacing two things lol
