@scout @zens@merveilles.town umm i'm very aware of retr0brite (as it was originally spelled) it has not stopped retro nerds from admonishing me that my consoles yellowed "because i left them exposed to sun" (i did not)
@zens@merveilles.town the question of "is it UV or is it oxygen" is an interesting one as people in retro communities swear up and down UV exposure is what yellows plastics and i've had a dreamcast yellow to smoker teeth tinge completely light-sealed in a closet
UV affects thermal paper and keeping it dark should in theory keep it longer, but you're still fighting against the chemical stability of the paper itself regardless
i'm not sure, for thermal paper, if oxygen plays a part

@eggboycolor i really enjoy mine and self-adhesive rubber bumpers is all it took for the keyboard to be usable
not to mention even DS/3DS cartridges that use NAND can die over time if they're not powered with a certain frequency, if you have no power running through it you have no power running through it whether the eMMC controller has smarts in software or hardware
