but nowadays that is bullshit...
it's usb standard... the only difference is how much amperes it outputs (which translates in faster or slower charging speed) voltage is always 5v (except in special cases)

How many non-techie people do you think actually know the voltage of a USB port? Or that anything which charges from a USB cable will work with any charger with a USB port on it? I know a lot of people who know absolutely nothing about any of it, and can only charge their phone with their phone's charger. They would have no idea that 5v is the standard or that another 5v charger with the same physical connector would also work.

heh, the same people that use that bring devices meant for 110 volts and use a outlet adaptor in europe which is 240...

people usually go "if it fits it works, or lets give it a try"
by advertising something as just "usb, for apple and android tablets and devices" they will assume it is ok...
if you advertise specific brands you may think "maybe this will not work on my "not listed brand" phone which totally works because it still uses the usb standarm...

in the old days we had specific chargers with specific voltages\amperes etc for each device... which had their own proprietary ports...
back in thoose days it was crucial that when purchasing a charger it listed your brand and model otherwise it wouldn't fit on your device

thoose days are gone, every android phone uses a usb port. which is universal and not specific... so why advertising an universal product working for 2-3 brands when it works on any device that charges through the usb port

Will definitely be playing this tonight. Ah, my feelings.

Oh, and am so glad they saw fit to include an actual instruction manual. Sheesh! (And the booklet/cover art is clever - you know the new 3DS plastic cases have holes in them for saving the environment? Well, Xseed put little portraits of all the characters on cover art, so it appears that they actually are peeking out of the windows.)

I don't know, I haven't tested it in my exploitable system.

I was at the pawn shop by my house today and I bought a ps1 scph-101 for $20, bought for it Tony Hawks pro skater 3 for $10. Alot of the retro game stores by wanted $40 to $60 for a ps1 and I bought a mm3 mod chip for it.

Also bought at the pawn shop Quest 64 for $10. I was thinking of buying it on eBay yesterday. It was in the case where they put the expensive games, so I was thinking they would have it priced at $25 or something, but for $10 hell yeah I'm getting it. It's a game I played when I was a kid and recently wanted to play it again.

Got my bootlegs/repros of Pokémon green and crystal. Pokémon green works great and Pokémon crystal's clock won't work unless the game is on.

And finally got the clear blue gbc housing I ordered in the beginning of September today but sadly the Gameboy it was for was destroyed. My nephew decided to take it and threw it against the wall because he got pissed off because he couldn't beat the level. I'm not happy about it.

Also bought 2 more dalmatian molly fish, 3 neon tetra fish and a SpongeBob pineapple house/hide for my fishtank.

Oh and 2 cans of monster ultra red

Found out that one of the dalmatian molly fish I bought is pregnant so I bought a small tank to separate her from the other fish for when she has the babies. Mollys give birth to live fish not egg and I don't what the other fish to eat them.

A friend said I could have a book, always up for one I wandered over and was given a lovely old book on woodwork from some time in the 1860s (mentions the 1867 Paris exhibition and the same author had other books published in the 1870s) and onwards. Thing is practically an engineering manual but for wood, with a sideline in iron work



and today was going through the book box at an antiques shop, got that green book on wireless telegraphy and a small book for woodworkers, £5 for both. It is mostly tables for said same but now sits as the oldest book I own.

Of course for those which say imperial units are easy

Not sure how old but has 1800 as a date a few pages in and uses a so called long s https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_s which that link says went out of fashion very shortly after that.

Better do something game related one of these days, has been pretty hard out there and I already have a reasonable 360 game collection so not much needed there
The local dump opened up a shop to resell old things so I thought I would go along as I was there anyway. Got some tent pegs as mine look more like office toys and a third party GBA link cable
