I've updated my NES collection, and also added Pokemon cards I'm looking for (tab at the bottom). I am very willing to trade my circuit boards for these games/cards! (I may even entertain trading assembled boards... maybe...)

This is could well be a historic midterm for Democrats.

Don’t waste it on centrists who won’t come through when it matters. Run vocal progressives.

You won’t end Trumpism without anti-corruption crusaders and warriors for social and economic justice who believe in taxes & big, universal programs.
Those claiming Dems should retreat on racial justice aren't hard-headed realists, they're pushing against the electoral tide rather than leaning into it. The story of Gen Z isn't about racist backlash or red-pilled young men. It's the most racially progressive generation in American history. 🧵

So Trump's regime might actually be collapsing - great.

But if we don't dismantle the structures that delivered it and work to fix the system then it'll just happen again. We cannot have a free and fair society when billionaires can buy politicians. Period.

lately i've been thinking about how LLMs must feel really amazing to use if you're a dumbass, but incredibly frustrating if you're just basically competent in life.

A teenager with a homeless parent? What? The fuck? Did she have a home and not allow her parent to live in it? Ended up having sex with? What? Yeah clearly you guys been caping for pedos long enough and you understand the assignment here
A teenager in Florida with a homeless parent wanted money for braces and ended up having sex for money with powerful men, setting off a chain of events that would have a dramatic impact on her life and help upend the political career of Representative Matt Gaetz. nyti.ms/49PSkL9

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.

Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

Useless sack of shit Jon Husted (R-OH) takes a month to reply to my question about why he supports the tariffs that have decimated my small business, says exactly nothing of substance, and doesn't even get my name right.

I've finished testing the Advanced UV boards, they're all good to go! For the uninitiated, this board can be used to make, like, 95% of the SNES library and many ROM hacks.

Unfortunately I had to increase the price to $6 per board to make up for the tariffs.

Well, after about 2 hours of trying to figure out what was wrong with the board I think it was just a bent pin on the EPROM lol

Exhirom mode is working!

My family has been without half our income for 40 days. It has been.. very hard.

We are willing to feel that pain so people can have health care next year, or to undo these illegal recissions.

We are not willing to have been put through this for NOTHING.

Good morning! AI is being force-fed to you by a handful of billionaires who will lose a bunch of money if they fail to convince you that you need it. You do not need it 🫶

I just updated this board I made a while back. It's a drop-in replacement board for the 27C160 and 27C322 UV EPROMs that a lot of retro repro carts use. It uses brand new 5V NOR Flash chips (29F160).

The repository also has much more information than it used to.

Nobody in modern tech is satisfied with building A Thing that Works and then just... letting it be.

So close to calling it a disease at this point.
