I mean there was already a 360 emulator but a lot of stuff doesn't run great on there so if this method will run stuff better that's cool. Maybe it will give me an excuse to finally play Lost Odyssey. I think most good games of that gen I already played on PS3 and a lot have PC ports these days.

Ace Combat 6 is the only game on my list of 360 games to play when emulation gets better. I guess there's Nuts and Bolts if you still care after Tooie. The gritty brown FPS era may be better than what we get these days, but it still didn't produce much that calls to me years later.

It wasn't a console with lots of exclusives and the stuff it did have has mostly made its way to PC long ago.

Can you still sideload them, or does Chrome not support that? (Haven't used it in years.)

IIRC, the manifest V3 thing removes support entirely. Chromium forks should be fine though afaik.

I let my dad trick me into getting some $100 dollar "running shoes" because he believed they'd be better for my feet and they fell apart within a year or two, so I'm hesitant to spend anything beyond the bare minimum on shoes now.

well this advice obviously applies to things that aren't manufactured as "made in <your country>" when really they're cardboard crap assembled in China then sent over to be boxed up by locals before being put on the market to trick unsuspecting customers.

I recently had to stop buying boots from a company I've bought from for years because they're now selling $50 quality boots at $300+ coasting by on a reputation the company had built up for over 100 years before being bought out by a new parent company a few years ago.

Man, I need a 3090. I wonder if people will throw some up on ebay or something when the 50xx series is revealed in January for what will surely be a ludicrous price. I'm not sure how many people would be jumping from 30xx to 50xx, though, but it's probably not many. The prices are just so damn absurd, and the 5080 will only have 16GB of VRAM and will probably be like $1700.
Come to think of it, if I get a 3090 doesn't that mean I could have my 3080 and 3090 in it together for 36GB of VRAM? I should look that up, but I'm sure I'd need a new motherboard.

Any reason to get 2 M2 SSDs, or is the one good enough?

>>2449
Depends on the OS. I know the default QNAP OS, I believe unRAID, have tiered storage, so more frequently used files will be moved -- not copied -- from the hard drives to the SSDs. In that case, you would probably want two and set them to RAID1, so if one dies, you don't lose files that got moved to the SSDs. If you use TrueNAS, there's not really much benefit other than extra redundancy. TrueNAS doesn't have tiered storage. Instead, it tries to put files into RAM (ARC), and files that don't fit in RAM can go to the SSDs temporarily before being written to disk (L2ARC); these can be removed from a pool, or die without data loss, but their benefit is subjective.

If you want, you could also just install an OS to an M.2 drive instead of using USB.

Blogs are probably the 'old web' thing to have survived the longest, still being relatively mainstream to this day, especially among more bookish crowds. I think a lot of it comes down to their standalone nature and emphasis on individual opinion. It's a format that lends itself well to being linked on social media sites like Reddit.

You'd do it with your smart phone. Have a vendor with w pub key as a qr code and you'd have someone scan it and then they authorize the app to send to it. I think the major exchanges have these sorts of things already.

The problem is verification is slow.

Ignoring the fact that crypto is highly violate and not at all usable as an actual medium of exchange for everyday goods because of that fact... Crypto transactions are just really slow. When you go to a store and use your credit card or debit card, those transactions are real-time, and were verified by some mainframe that's sole job is to process hundreds of thousands of transactions per second, from hundreds of thousands of banks and individual retailers, all while also providing suspicious transaction monitoring in that 3-5 second timeframe it takes for the card reader to say "Approved".

Blockchain transactions can take literal hours to verify, which for a vendor, you can understand would be completely unworkable. That's not to mention with cryptocurrencies like Ethereum, there are additional fees to merely have transactions be processed, which for low amount transactions could be equal to the initial purchase price itself. Suddenly a $1.29 pack of gum actually costs you $2 because of network fees -- scaled across any number of daily transactions...

These issues are why there are crypto exchanges -- cryptocurrency as a decentralized blockchain with third-party verification makes it incredibly useless in reality -- crypto exchanges act as a third-party with liquidity to side-step blockchain verification and instantly deposit the amount transacted into the wallet of other exchange members. And, naturally, on top of whatever transaction fees the cryptocurrency itself might impose, there are then also fees that the exchanges impose for their their services. Which, if you put any thought into for more than a few seconds, you will realize completely negates any of the supposed virtues of cryptocurrencies; Chain of trust? Nope, you're transacting between ephemeral virtual wallets. Decentralized ownership? Nope, all your funds exist with the pseudo-bank that is the exchange -- you do not control your wallet. Insulation from market volatility vis-a-vis the '08 financial crisis? Obviously, laughably not, crypto is extremely volatile and value is more or less directly tied to stock market performance.

If you want to use crypto for day-to-day usage, there are a million disincentives, and many more reasons to just use a debit card or credit card. To my knowledge, the only places that have seen any modicum of crypto uptake for daily usage, are countries that have such unstable currencies that the volatility of crypto isn't as bad in compariPost too long.

I forgot to mention one last big issue. I touched on it by describing cryptocurrencies volatility, but forgot to go into more detail. That being: convertibility. I think this comes as something of an oversight when discussing cryptocurrency, given it's nature, but when it comes to currencies and the acceptance of foreign currency for international exchanges there is ZERO question that you can reliably use a credit or debit card in any country or when making online purchases. Occasionally there are fees imposed, particularly with in-person transactions, or with ATM foreign currency exchanges, but often international purchases have no additional fees. Again, this may come as something of an oversight, but when it comes to the ability to use an ATM, even in other countries, it's a mostly painless process to get local physical currency. ATMs are extremely numerous, and especially at international travel destinations, and airports, physical foreign currency exchanges are also very common.

This comes in contrast to cryptocurrencies because the medium is the asset. Whether it's converting between USD and CNY, or CAD and JPY, or EUR and SEK, or CHF to WON, etc. there's very little volatility in exchanges rates because on-balance, currency exchange rates are determined by international trade expenditures and revenue, foreign currency reserves, and above-all exchange rate to the US Dollar as the world reserve currency. Generally speaking, the biggest source of volatility in exchange rates tends to be as a result of domestic inflation; ergo, if your country's currency has inflation, your currency will be weaker in relation to other currencies, and thus the price of foreign goods will become more expensive, however, if you have an export-oriented economy this devaluation can make the price of domestic goods artificially cheaper for foreign buyers. So, to give an example, if Brazil has high inflation, importing foreign goods may become more expensive, but for other countries the price of agricultural products out of Brazil, such as soy beans, will decrease relative to their previous price. In the long run, these trends are generally self-stabilizing absent dramatic economic intervention by governments so that prices and exchange rates remain relatively stable. This is largely why Neoliberal economists advocate for free tPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

Yeah but now I just want to do it for fun

Well... If you do it, you should see if you can launch your scam coin on Coinbase somehow. Every now and then they do "learn and earn" things where, for completing simple quizzes about the coin, they'll give people some of that coin for free. Could give temporary liquidity and convince retards to buy it and then you can rug pull and cash out.

>>2304
>launch your scam coin on Coinbase
Exchanges are pay to play. It costs millions.

or at least a market cap of a million. the initial holders have to put in a lot of initial money to make it seem like a real hype coin.

Idk how to make a shitcoin, but that sounds very similar to crash gambling

I don't have enough accounts to need more than one page, but I know which accounts are newer which means they're further down on the page. If you have a lot of passwords you can also just get a password booklet that's alphabetically sorted if you need it.

used to store all my passwords alphabetically in my phone notes, now I use keypass

maybe a collection of cut-up index cards

You'd have to write down each password twice in case you lost your wallet.

>>2284
That's probably at the core of why everyone wants 2FA these days. People have a limited capacity for good password creation so all the long-term ones are strong but used for a bunch of accounts and all the short-term ones are super weak shit at the top of any brute force list.

>These are also decade-plus-year old panels and CCFL. Their already low brightness and kuso color is much more degraded years later.
I've got some nearly 2 decade old Dell CCFL IPS LCDs. Love them and they work great. Their only issue is there's some small flakes of dust that have managed to get between the LCD and CCFL backlight, but it's only visible on completely white backgrounds. That and early IPS panels have some minor image retention when you leave a high contrast static image up for a white, but it goes away after a few minutes of changing screens. Mostly just an issue I notice when leaving stuff like Discord open and images are on the screen for a while.

Lovely 4:3 monitor, not a stinky 5:4. Still holds up at 1600x1200 @ 75Hz. They make for excellent side monitors.

I really wish some random boutique Chinese monitor manufacturer would make new OLED 4:3 monitors. I don't wanna have to use 16:9 monitors vertically, and 16:9 is way too wide for side monitors unless you're like a sim racer or turbo FPS gamer dork or something.

>>2111
Hm, square monitors do make more sense when it comes to the side monitor. I really like my ultrawide, though. I have two of them on an L-shaped desk and it seems to work decent enough, although it feels wasteful because it hurts my neck to actually use the far side of the side one. Square screens would feel more like a natural extension, so maybe I could look into that next time in a few years...

i have few eizo monitors....

>>2111
I have been hunting down one of these Dell 2007fp monitors for a while now. I really like the aspect ratio, but have only been able to come across 19" square monitors, no larger.

There are tons available online for ludicrous prices, but I really can't justify spending any more than $30 for a decade year old monitor, especially when I've gotten every other monitor I own for free.

Did some googling and it turns out some assholes on YouTube branded it a "retro gaming" monitor (despite its considerable video delay), which likely jacked up the prices. As was the case with kuso tube televisions that were being dumped at the curb only a decade ago, but at least those don't have awful delay.

I've also had the same Ubuntu Mint install for 4 years without breaking too and everything is relatively up to date.

Most distros that aren't niche are pretty good and stable. Anon should just use whatever they want.
