@jessechounard is all javascript simply because i have not bothered to learn typescript yet

@LunaRogue the only reason i can imagine for the hp ipaq line to continue existing as old CE handhelds in the year of our lady 2008 is some form of tax evasion/money laundering/contractual obligation. they feel so phoned in

(and yes palm OS also got the issue with the double res later in its life but at least the tungstens look nicer)

i wonder what compelled HP to release a windows mobile device with twice the resolution of standard devices at the time and not at least dress it up nice so that you have a random picking of icons in 2x while the others are in native res? windows mobile feels so drab in comparison to palm OS

Sometimes (often) I think I really want to buy a Game Boy Camera… but then I think about how I’d need a game boy printer, and paper, or maybe one of those devices to transfer the photos to a computer… then I just feel tired for a while and give up.

Fortunately there’s this cool site from @mavica_again. Open it on your phone and you have a pretty good approximation of the Game Boy Camera with some cool color filter options.

i left it plugged in overnight and after the whole night it read 1% and then it was back to 0% and i caught it saying 1% again later and now it's back to 0% again so i think something is wrong with the charge controller but i think the battery is ok because it did survive unplugged for a while (i think it's not reading the actual battery life right)

@root we already had better speeds AND better current it was called firewire !!!

what's the most useless connector format of the 2000s and why is it eSATA

i got a new boy

i don't know what to do with it

the battery doesn't charge

@root that's all well and good it's just the assumption that cheap in one geography = cheap in all geographies

@root and yet usa bros will always tell me "just buy an ssd they're cheap now" to my third world ass where, no, storage (or any electronics for that matter) is not cheap
