    Won't mind being a patron for a good gaming site. Being a patron for site wanting to meddle in politics - not so sure anymore.

    I happen to admin a forum where we put the lid on politics before the present atmosphere managed to set in. First warnings on political content, then limited ban and finally permaban. We lost some members, but in the end the discussion cleaned up and some valuable members who had left due toxicness returned. So win-win for that forum at least.

    To me GBATemp has been a valuable resource and a rare one nowadays as forums are more or less a dying breed due Twatter, AdLube etc. This forum isn't as dead as say psx-place is these days, but the trend seems to be on downward slope as active members and amount of discussion goes, which in the end would be a shame. And for one part I blame letting the politics creep in, overtly or covertly.

    Observing the level of political "debate" in this age makes me wonder if IQ equalling your shoesize makes you "smart" nowadays. Or just having the loudest voice.

    "Ides of March, day in the ancient Roman calendar that falls on March 15 and is associated with misfortune and doom. It became renowned as the date on which Roman dictator Julius Caesar was assassinated in 44 bce and was further immortalized in the tragedy Julius Caesar by English dramatist William Shakespeare."

    I you are a gamer, exclusives are actually bad for you, as the studios developing the games won't reach the maximum target audience, thus reducing funding for future projects.

    Gamers should fund studios, not manufacturers.

    Exclusives are a remnant of the console wars, and with time they have actually been losing a lot of grasp
    Aside from Nintendo, of course-

    I also didn't become a real GBAtemp member until 6 years after I registered my account. Unless backwards-compatible DSes count, I've had those for a very long time.

    Bad day @work. Rarely angry, but in lieu of our lovely usual customers, one fuckface managed to raise my ire considerably - probably to the level my sacking is considered. Oh well, he doesn't get his gear anyway. (I'm rarely angered, but... go over the certain point and I'm really not the usual nice guy anymore, sarcastic though)

    Some experiments on setting the t-bit on SSD installed in PS3 might prove interesting. Time for system transfer and playing around in OtherOS soon I guess.

    There's only one command needing sudo: "su -" everything else is just huge bother and nuisance with needless extra typing

    I just don't get Loonixes. Badly written and designed (hack upon hack upon hack, with nobody really on the know how the kernel works anymore.) Documentation - in the rare cases written one exists - is rubbish or even misleading. Ubuntu seems to be worst offender.

    This description pretty much fits on all operating systems. The software has become so huge complex that nobody is remotely able to understand it anymore.
    I have to say that I prefer free/open source over commercial/proprietary garbage with questionable EULA and 10000 integrated anti-features (like spyware) of the kind "No problem, you can turn this off."

    I do love open source, but generally not GPL as better quality stuff tends to have more permissive licences and someone actually bothered with documentation; BSD's, Postgres, LLVM...

    You can update your PS2? Wasn't that done through specifically-coded memory cards, and the update got reverted if the card was removed since there was no real memory to store the update on, and thus the idea never gained much headway outside of one or two

    updates and that FreeMcBoot exploit?

    In short, I don't think one can "update their PS2", necessarily.

    Updating FreeHDBoot, wLaunchELF and OPL. Was pretty sure that PS2 HB development was dead untIl I found out about OPL 1.0. Vanity project called OPL DB doesn't count as real development qualitywise.
