Combination is the best way.

Want to reheat a pizza slice? Microwave for half a minute/minute then in the air fryer to crisp it up. Ends up better than the first time around many times imo and done in seconds if you heat the air fryer up to 200°c first

EU commission, really. That’s the only way

Yeah, hasn’t stopped me in…15 years? Half my entire library is pirated and emulator shortcuts lol

No

I’ve installed cracked windows versions of games on the steam deck before, adding them as a non steam game, going to properties and setting them to boot with proton. I even installed a few this way by adding the installer exe as a non steam game and running that in desktop mode, under proton. It’s a hassle to find where it installed it after, but it worked for me anyhow

Not entirely software, but the MiSTer FPGA project. Having accurate zero-lag hardware accurate versions of almost every console, many arcade games, PCs (Amiga, Commodore etc), and handheld up to and including the PlayStation in a box the size of a game boy is unreal.

Majority of the project is open source, and has been used for ports to the analogue pocket handheld, which I also have and use often

“The name’s Bond, James Bond”. Because of that quote, I have never failed to remember James Bond’s name.

Nope, it’s completely locked down by IT policy restrictions unfortunately.

I can use portable installs but last time I got found out I got a right bollocking!!

Financial org, so everything is very black and white when it comes to IT and security policy, although I did argue my way into having Notepad++

Forced to with work.

I utterly hate it. I don’t have it on my personal setup or android mobile - been using Firefox for twenty years now, not gonna stop!

Ha, well we had the same design in the UK as Japan. So did everywhere else, apart from the USA.

A relative bought back a Japanese Super Famicom after being there for a bit along with a shedload of games. We had a UK power supply for it (worked with my UK mega drive AC adapter) and it worked with our UK 20" Sony CRT (pal, but supported NTSC). We used an RGB scart cable, so I was living the dream of full speed 60hz RGB in the UK back in the 90s. Dreamland

Yeah, I grew up with the PAL SNES, and then got an imported Super Famicom. The first time I saw the US SNES was a real WTF moment.

I personally work in finance. It’s essential, especially for calculations.

The best scheme.

I live on the coast, my home being a five minute walk from the beach, and between two large towns. In between is countryside one side or quiet roads the other side. So wherever I go, I can take the residential routes (all suitable for pedestrians), walk along the coastline, or go around through the woods and parks.

So on Monday I walked through a country park, around a large bay, through to town to buy some lunch. I then walked alongside the beach up to a forest path, then to the next town where I looked at a few shops and walked back a slightly different way!

I walk, a lot. Everywhere. Always have done.

It keeps me nice and slim, and is my way of dealing with stress and any thoughts I may have swishing around in my head. I live in an area that allows me to walk anywhere I want (ie. not America) and I don’t need a car at all, luckily.

And I do push it a bit. I walked 36km which is around 21 miles on Sunday, and 32km on Saturday. My legs were starting to hurt like hell nearing the end of it but I always keep going. It feels good to push past what I thought was my limit and keep going. I don’t think there’s any real conscious thought behind it, it’s just how I am. And as I’m in the office today, I’ll be walking there and back too (5 miles each way), no bother at all.

Running and weight lifting though? Not my thing. Too much rushing around for the former and not enough moving around for the latter!

Edit: realised my conversion to miles is off. It’s early. Turns out according to Google maps I walked 21 miles Sunday…! Took just under 5 hours. And I did get a bit sunburnt, but otherwise fine as usual

UK focused casual discussion and news.

There’s a very small amount, but nothing like there was on Reddit. It’s the only thing I miss.

Ha, yeah. I work from home, and when I’m out the last thing I want to do is look at my phone.

So I watch films at home. I paid for a high end home cinema set up, I’m gonna make the most of it. Otherwise it’s just a waste.

This may change as I’m having to downscale a bit for my new apartment…but yeah, 200mb still won’t be enough.

Not on my 65" 8k OLED they aren’t! You can absolutely tell the difference.

Smaller/low res screens though, sure.

Holy fuck

This should not be allowed. Anywhere. This is insane and scary, considering the vast majority will simply not give a shit and install anyway.

Thomas the Tank Engine on SNES. Me and my mates used to find it hilarious when high. Still do.

Jerboa, first one I found!
