You are correct.

One can solder in a temporary "helper battery" (or 3V power supply) to the same traces but in a different spot, to keep the SRAM alive while the real battery is replaced.

Some later games (GBA-era) use Flash memory and the battery is just for the clock.

I knew it! QR codes have been gathering the data to transform Q into R, every time they are scanned.

Japan also got Game Boy Light, which is a Game Boy Pocket with green EL backlighting (like Indiglo).

I can't even get this Brother to scan to a flash drive in its own USB port. It acts like it's successful; it scans and no errors show up... but the files just aren't there. Tried multiple USB drives and made sure they were formatted to FAT32 in a sector size that Brother recommended in the manual.

Printing to it from Debian was even easier than expected, though. Plug it in, it shows up as a networked printer, and you print to it.

I have a similar PATA enclosure. I thought it was cursed until I got to reuse the A-A cable to upload FlashFloppy custom firmware to Gotek floppy emulators without wiring up a USB-serial adaptor.

Please slam his testicles in a car door, once for each flight he took with Epstein.

It's an Arena card and they left its wording intact, which doesn't change much of anything.

It's very similar to creating a token except that it interacts more with other cards than a token; the Clock he creates can go to the graveyard, be returned to your hand with Regrowth and then cast, etc.

Edit: It's like a combination of tokens and Wishes (get a card from outside the game), and both of those effects have been in the game since 1993.

It works for Ultimate Boot CD, which includes DBAN and a lot of other fun stuff.

I play with retro hardware and Ventoy has also worked for me with some weird old isos that even Rufus didn't work with (XP/Server 2003 multidisc from eXPerience that uses a Linux bootloader?)

You would think so, but I've heard it on talk radio already. Verbatim: "Harris didn't pick Shapiro because Democrats hate Jews!"

Uh, there's one major party that is so hard-up for votes that they now welcome neo-Nazis to their convention, and it's not the Democrats...

 

Just felt like posting here since no one else will! Don't tell me to go to Discord... The UI enrages me like no other.

I'm newish, started with Nobara 39, did a fresh install of 40 after upgrade had dependency problems with wine-staging64 and one other (k5s-something? Sorry). I want to like this distro... Some observations:

The live environment is allowed to suspend the PC during the install process!

Discover Software Center seems to be gone and I can't install it; I get a notification: "Plasma Workspace / Could not read file appstream://org.kde.discover.desktop."

There is Nobara Package Manager, a huge list with checkboxes down the left that need to be individually clicked; right-click and Select all doesn't do anything.

I still (sometimes) get Plasma graphical glitches on resuming from suspend. NVIDIA!

My son's ancient PC runs 39 beautifully, but 40 lags every five seconds even just sitting idle at the desktop.

Games are running great and I love the ease of installing Steam and flipping the compatibility switch, and instantly having Proton-GE available.

I wanted to get Sunshine running for Moonlight, but I guess it has major problems with Wayland (not Fedora's/Nobara's fault).

 

I sent in two phones for an offered $1600 total promotional bill credits.

One phone rejected, for the reason: "won't power on". I videoed myself opening the box on the returned phone, pressing the power button, and turning the phone on, booting into Pixel setup.

The other, Spectrum is trying to give me $200 credit for.

I spent hours on the phone with support from both of these scam companies. Do not deal with either of them, you have been warned.
