Bob Odenkirk has never steered us wrong, thanks. I downloaded three copies of this from YouTube in case I forget.

That’s a great point.

For me, I have a bad memory. I might remember a childhood movie (a nickname I give to special Linux ISOs) that I hadn’t even thought of for 10 years and track down a copy, sometimes excavating obscure sources, and that may be hours of one-time inspiration and work repeated many times over. Having a complete list is a good helper, but a full backup of course is best.

Yeah, this is certainly a viable “brute-force”-ish ooption. While I have 56, I’m only using 26 or so. But I’d actually be hesitant to do anything less than a full capacity mirror because I do expect to eventually use this (and more - adding drives to Unraid).

I’ve balked because of cost and upkeep (maintaining the same capacity, additional chances for drive failure, two separate sites I need physical access to with a high bandwidth connection), so I admit I was hoping I was missing an easier option.

Do you have logs or software that keeps track of what you need to redownload? A big stress for me with that method is remembering or keeping track of what is lost when I and software can’t even see the filesystem anymore.

Can you think of any reason why it still only shows the Feb. 13, 2026 version as the last available one in Google Play? I even signed up for the beta program, no update is showing on Play, even after it has checked for updates multiple times on multiple days (and other apps have updated).

To confirm, I am stuck on version 10.0.405.

Edit: Nevermind, apparently all I had to do is post and the update finally showed up (really, it was the beta program that must have did it, + 15 minutes or so). No problem to fix now, but leaving this hear in case anyone needs to see it.

I think rather than China just doing it, Xi will contact Trump and offer him some token concession that Trump can sell as victory on tariffs, in exchange for the US not helping Taiwan. I’ll give myself a bonus point if that “major” concession is something we already have or had prior to Trump’s tariffs.

Amazing! Thanks so much.

Fascinating. Definitely still prefer the Go for retro futurism, though.

He’s mentally impaired. A malignant and grandiose narcissist wants more money, attention, fame, and so on for themselves no matter what they have.

This seems like a Piefed issue. Would be great to know from @kuro_neko@lemmy.ca if Piefed support is possible? I don’t know if it’s feasible, but I feel like the new LemmyNSFW replacement will be a big source of content. Would be wonderful if Connect supported it.

Beautiful! Love those billboards. Also reminds me to check out a PSP Go, I bet the slide-out design is cool in person.

PSP is peak retro tech. The disk drive mechanism is so satisfying to open and close, popping out the UMD cartridge…

But yes, Japan preserves their old tech, books and games by default. Used items are almost always immaculately kept and sent cleaned up. It’s pretty reliable to buy used in Japan.

PC costs certainly aren’t helping, but there’s an entire cross-section of income and age demographics whose only computing device is and has always only been their phones.

I was curious so I looked it up. This site suggests 1 in 7 households in the US “either lack a computer at home or rely solely on a smartphone for internet access”, heavily weighted to lower-income states like Mississippi, West Virginia, Arkansas and Louisiana: https://www.benton.org/blog/computer-ownership-and-digital-divide
