They run Linux but you don’t need to know anything. They work out of the box. Guides are for upgrading to different user interfaces. You do need to learn how to make a copy of a micro SD card because the ones that ship with the devices are extremely low quality and will quickly fail. I use the one from Raspberry Pi. It’s for installing pi OS but it does anything. https://www.raspberrypi.com/software/

Installing a different OS on a hand held is only picking a different image file like Knulli or GarlicOS when copying onto an SD card.

Before Trump announced it publicly. Martha Stewart was jailed for less.

I have/had ( bought for friends or myself) Anbernic 35xx, 35xx SP, rg cube x, 351 mp.

There are so many variations that it’s really personal preference. Like are you doing 16:9 games or 4:3? I wanted something for old arcades like pacman and space invaders so I got the cube. That screen ratio also happens to work well for Gameboy

Yeah Miyoo only makes a vertical and a flip. Retro game corps says the flip has some quality control problems.

I have a RP3+ but after using it a while, Android is too much of a hassle.

Miyoo Mini or Anbernic equivalents running Linux are so much easier. There’s no setup- just put your roms in a folder and go. I spent hours on the Retroid just trying to to get launchers looking nice and emulators configured.

But the critical feature is Android will never have a fast boot. When you hit the power on the Miyoo it saves the game state and completely powers down. It doesn’t go to sleep like Android where the bat is dead a day later. The Miyoo will have power weeks later. And because it boots in 10 seconds right into the middle of the game exactly when you hit power off, it’s not a problem to wait for a full boot.

If I needed a painting of a bird, it would be much easier to show the artist a photo of a bird and then describe how my idea differs from the photo instead of spending hours describing to the artist what the bird in my mind should look like.

Bradley didn’t like that his boss wasn’t standing over his shoulder describing everything while Bradley sketched the picture.

The other artists in the article had valid points.

So you would prefer lots of meetings, messages and redone work instead of someone showing you a picture that kind of represents what they want?

But Bradley wasn’t complaining that they were trying to sell AI. He was upset that his manager used AI to give him a rough estimate of what he wanted Bradley to create.

adjust the end result to accommodate later changes in the requirements.

That’s the end result.

AI is particularly bad at both of those.

Bradley wasn’t talking about delivering AI art. He didn’t like that his manager used AI for prototyping to simplify describing what he wanted Bradley to create.

He wants the manager to describe his ideas to him, then spend hours sketching and inking the idea only for the manager to say, “that’s not exactly right” and start it all over again. Bradley must be an hourly contractor because his argument makes no sense. A picture is worth a thousand words. Bradley wants more meetings and email exchanges instead of getting results.

AI slop can be bad but this Bradley doesn’t understand that businesses exist to make money.

Bradley talking about his manager:

"He doesn’t know that the important thing isn’t just the end result, it’s the journey and the questions you answer along the way”.

If Bradley is making art only for personal growth, he needs to quit and make his own indie game.

Because if you are working for someone else it’s not the journey, it’s the result. Get it done quicker and then slack.

?? Google pays Apple to put their search in Apple’s OS

It’s weird how MS’s putting developers first became a joke. Back in the 80’s, companies like HP and IBM had open warehouses with coders at desks lined up like factory workers. MS was the first big company to give a private office to every programmer.

You are right! I didn’t count the 0’s!

That was my immediate thought too. Hook it to a super capacitor. The only problem is the self discharge is probably higher than what the nuclear cell can feed.

Google says a Casio watch needs .004mA so not quite enough.

Yes a pair.

But consider direct bury cable. It’s low voltage so there’s no building codes to follow or even miss utility calls because you are only putting it a few inches below the grass. You can get really long flexible auger bits to run under concrete for $30.

I know it’s a hassle but it will be so much more reliable in the long run.

Did you buy the Ghibli movies you trained on or did you pirate them? Because OpenAI has argued that they are allowed to pirate and no one else.

They already said they are going to charge $30/year for patches. They want recurring revenue from ads in 11 or from you paying yearly for 10.

Did it ship on time or did they set the release date after it was actually ready?

Because it seems the Apple Vision Pro came out 3 years after VR had already peaked.

The first Linux I used wasn’t part of any distro. A few years later I compiled Slackware to run bind and Sendmail.

Last year I tried Arch in a VM. I got to where it expected me to know what partitions to create for root and swap and noped out. It’s not 1996. I don’t have time for those details any more. No one should. Sane defaults have been in other distros for decades.
