As an enthusiast photographer with a lot of inner circle friends: we encrypt and backup to cloud. 0 degradation.

There are roms that test accuracy. Hardware will return 100% and emulators will receive less.

I believe there are some psx test Roms that no emulator gets 100%. I know for a fact there are n64 test Roms that don’t get close on an emulator.

You point on hardware emulation stands regarding it doesn’t automatically mean more accurate emulation. Although it lends itself to be more accurate due to you “can’t make a software thread for each discrete component” software problem as well as “how do I take controller input and when” as well which are wayyyy easier on fpga than software.

Spot on. Every time I want to do X in Firefox and it takes me more than a few seconds to figure it out I get frustrated and use chrome. I do need to break this bad habit though. Maybe I’ll try again this week!

I really need to learn the Firefox debugger. My years of chrome debugger muscle memory has tied me to that product (at least for work which is 95% of my desktop browsing)

Personally I’m a mobile personal browser person which is safari. I can’t stand to be at a computer after a day of being at the computer.

I understand it not working on a Roku but why couldn’t you use an android pdf reader?

People in HN get a chuckle about the name. 99% of people would see it and just download something else that isn’t “minus” for some reason.

Have your tried static analysis? When I used Java most (if not all) of our NPE problems were pointed out by sonar qube

I use this which does not require and installation https://gchq.github.io/CyberChef/

The reason snes doesn’t have them is because of the expansion chips. Each of those chips need their state recorded synced to the main system. Pita

There’s a required RAM module for most cores that slides into the de10 nano. The software and the Linux kernel are also tightly coupled. Individual cores can be ported to different FPGAs though. The SNES one for example was recently ported to the analogue pocket.

I’m unsure what you mean about hardware emulation not being reliable. Save states is a good point. SNES for example does not have them. Adding that stuff as an after thought is extremely tricky. Most newer cores are creating with save states in mind for two reasons. Makes debugging much easier as you can share states with testers on top of the QOL you get with that feature for end users. PSX for example has really good save state support with rotating save states.

I was lucky enough to get in on this when the boards were ~$130. It’s one of my favorite pieces of tech. It “just works” and the UI is very good. Updating is super easy and it even goes and grabs the MAME Roms for you. CPS2 games feel much different than my MAME box running Arch. I can 100% pick up the controller and I’m a few seconds know which one I’m playing. The video processing presets have some that make the games look amazing. Psx I mainly play rpgs so latency isn’t a huge deal there. If anyone has any specific questions let me know. I think they are twice the price now but even at that I would probably rebuy. I use it probably 8-10 hours a week so worth a good investment.

Meritocracy has its issues as well. A lot of people got 200 points from private schools and tutoring that may not be available to a lot of the disenfranchised.

did you check DLLs?

i think everyone's point is taking race into account in any shape or form is illegal, so not firing black people but still needing to fire 11% means in turn you are firing more non-black people to fill the gap, meaning those people were fired based on race and not performance, which IANAL is illegal

The logic is local. Could patch it out in 30 minutes if they dont have any anti circumventions

I think a lot of people think it’s “safe” is it’s been used for thousands of years and has relatively well tolerated. It’s nice to get more specific info like this though.

I wonder if had used a MiSTER instead of MAME if he would have been caught. I don’t think it was out in 2018 though.

They would have to be within ~100 light years of us which honestly is not a lot of places…

That’s the best part of DIY. Go get those parts wherever and slap them in yourself.

Everything I touched at apple while I was there was internal GitHub.

More like 10 steps. But yes it takes a bit of knowledge.

For anyone thinking about picking one up explore buying a used vita. It can do everything this does (sans GameCube) but it can play vita games as well. Sd card adapters are <$10

The way we currently view time there was no time before the Big Bang. No space = no time

They know the types of items you buy. You don’t get the exact items from Amazon. They can guess if you click a link to an iPhone and then later bought a $1,200 electronic but if you click on an iPhone and buy a PS5 they don’t know what you bought.

Totally agree. Wonder the use case why they don’t run Linux and put FreeBSD in a VM where everything would work perfectly.

We have a one and done rest api that will only send the key once after being staged as part of our pipeline. So that’s the delivery mechanism. Key is on an internal server that isn’t on the public internet except the one and done. Super simple.

We also use server side encryption. But honestly encrypting the files before putting on s3 has given us 0 grief and gives us a feeling even if we somehow are “hacked” the files are useless to the hackers.

We use other aws services. We decrypt the files on those services.

We never send anything unencrypted to S3. I have no clue why someone would not want to encrypt their data before putting it in the cloud…
