For the DC? yeah, it would play burned CDs no problem.

For the playstation? not sure. I had mine modded so I could import games from Japan but I don’t believe it could play burned CDs.

Xbox and the 360 were easy to mod though and you could play burned games on those also.

But yeah the Dreamcast just did it right out of the box. no mods required.

majority of my clients use it, just makes them feel better.

yup, majority of clients use so just makes things easier on them. Dont’ get me wrong I hate it too but they like it so whatever, I adapt.

best decision I ever made years and years ago was to stop being a regular employee and instead do freelance/consulting work. No more interruptions. Emails can be ignored when need be, same with calls and texts, I don’t use whatsapp or any of that. My Jira is PURELY for bug tracking and if anyone that has been invited into it goes off rails on it for something OTHER than bug tracking they get removed.

If I go into an office I leave whenever I want. If someone starts bothering me I pack up and go.

I had a program that came with special CD Labels for the printer where you could make your own cool CD label covers. that was fun.

Or going into a Dreamcast IRC channel to download games and burn them to disk. I think I only ever actually bought like 2 Dreamcast games, Shenmue and Seaman, the rest were just burned to CD-Rs.

I don’t see how it would save time as someone whose job is to currently undo what “time” it “saves”. You can give Claude Code the most fantastic and accurate prompt in the world but you’re still going to have to explain to it how something actually works when it gets to the point, and it will, that it starts contradicting itself and over complicating things.

You said yourself he has to reiterate through the code with the LLM to get something that works. If he already knows it, he could just write it. Having to explain to something HOW to write what you ALREADY know can’t possibly be saving time. it’s Coding with extra steps.

God bless vibe coders, because of them I’m buying a new PC build this week AND I’ve decided to get a PS5.

Thank you Vibe Coders, your laziness and and sheer idiocy are padding my wallet nicely.

ok I must be losing my mind then. I could have sworn it required something like this: https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/31qtoUfewyL.jpg I remember as a kid going to a babages and picking up a copy and a guy was like “does your computer have a keyboard card? otherwise it wont’ work” and then I swore it was also stated on the box…but christ now I might have just been dreaming it.

Remember when Star Wars Shadows of the Empire came out on PC and apparently, it’s been awhile so maybe I’m not remembering correctly, but you needed a special card for your keyboard to play it?

to be fair the vast majority of administration on reddit is now automated by bots. If you’ve ever been admin banned it tells you as much. So the real issue should be what filters/flags have been applied and why would the bot ignore something like this post/mod?

basically “autopilot” for claude code.

I can tell you exactly what happened. “Hey Claude, I need to configure and setup a DB with Firebase to store images from our application.” and then promptly hit shift+tab and then went to go browse Reddit.

nothing was tested. nothing was verified. They let the AI do its thing they checked in on it after an hour or so. once it was done it was add all, commit -m “done”, push origin master. AI doesn’t implement security stuff. there was zero security here.

I mean…it’s not very good though. I’ve used it a handful of times and decided it wasn’t needed. I can just use Lutris or Steam or just straight up Wine itself and they all work better than Bottles.

Hello Hyprland. for 5 Euros a month you’ll have access to “Hyprland premium” which has yet to be disclosed as to what Hyprland premium even is.

that compositor is just shady front and back with a very questionable dev and maintainers.

if you utilize it as a tool it’s fine. it can be a good rubber duck or github copilot saves you like 2 seconds to just hit tab to complete something that’s correct in the preview. But utilizing it to do anymore than that and you’ve lost. Claude will constantly make things up or tell you to use libraries that have been orphaned for like 5+ years.

anyone who says “it can help you write better code” are fooling themselves. I’ve yet to see it.

Claude AI does this ALL the time too. It NEEDS to give a solution, it rarely can say “I don’t know” so it will just completely make up a solution that it thinks is right without actually checking to see the solution exists. It will make/dream up programs or libraries that don’t and have never existed OR it will tell you something can do something when it has never been able to do that thing ever.

And that’s just how all these LLMs have been built. they MUST provide a solution so they all lie. they’ve been programmed this way to ensure maximum profits. Github Copilot is a bit better because it’s with me in my code so it’s suggestions, most of the time, actually work because it can see the context and whats around it. Claude is absolute garbage, MS Copilot is about the same caliber if not worse than Claude, and Chatgpt is only good for content writing or bouncing ideas off of.

freetube, invideous, if someone reuploads it somewhere on peertube, ytdlp, ytfzf, etc many ways to consume youtube content without google making a dime of you or tracking you. I’m lazy so I just use freetube.

The funny thing about apple is just how far they’ve moved away from Jobs’ “vision”.

It was clearly evident when they released the Apple Pencil. Jobs hated Stylus’. one of the reasons he killed the newton, and a reason why the iphone/ipad never originally had one as he was quoted as saying “why would I need a stylus? I have 5 of them on my hand”

I mean Apple is like a cult that worship a dead god who would burn current Apple to the ground and start over if he came back.
