Honorable mention for the group that inadvertently tried so hard to do so bad, we were disqualified entirely on the first round?

:rofl2:

Congrats to the winners. It's nice to see someone win first place that didn't register just for the contest, never to be seen again, but is instead a regular member.

Copypaste from the final round thread:

I dedicate this victory to the efforts of Neimod and Yellows8 who are doing a fantastic job exploring how the 3DS works. I pledge to donate the equivalent value of the prize to the 3DS decapping fundraiser. As a day one early adopter, I was under the impression the 3DS would sell/rent feature length 3d movies. Nintendo just doesn't want to take my money and sell me 3d movies. I am aware of the ability to convert videos and play with the built in camera browser, but the 20 frame-per-second limit is unacceptable. The 3DS must be hacked.

Congrats to the winner!


Off topic, but in the video I saw HtheB in the chat. That guy had some kickass homebrew for the DS back in the day!

    Many of the same issues can be seen for the insanely predatory healthcare and health insurance system in the US

  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    It's important for society to be healthy and educated. If those things can't happen because all of the institutions that prop up those industries make it unattainable for all but a small portion of society, then your society is largely going to be disease ridden, dying, and uneducated in very short order.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Issue is it's too rich of a coperation already with bad sugar diets causing diabetes and killing teeth a new set of teeth around 90k
  • cearp @ cearp:
    I agree it's not easy for the average American, let alone the ones below that average. Free / cheaper healthcare is much more important I think than free university education.
    Of course like @mthrnite said, why not both. But I doubt both will get solved at once, and surely healthcare is top priority.

  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    If it's needed to keep you healthy it shouldn't cost you $90k. The fact that it does is an enormous problem

    but yeah, affordable is all i'm asking for

    i'd be happy with affordable dentures

    And if the concern is that "well we can't trust the government to intervene for this because the government can't do anything right and wastes tons of money" then holy shit push for a better government. I'm certainly trying to. Don't throw your hands up and go "we've tried nothing and we're all out of ideas"

  • cearp @ cearp:
    @K3Nv2 that's crazily expensive. how long will that take to pay off?

    Although diet is largely education, people don't need to go to university to learn what's healthy and what's not,
    it's the whole country, big corporations and advertising that is to blame for leading most of the population to believe that poptarts and froot loops are healthy to feed a child
  • mthrnite @ mthrnite:
    i would think the population knows better but with food deserts and abject poverty, sometimes a poptart gonna have to do.

    it's a big ol complicated world innit

  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    As someone who went through the grade school system in the US some time within the past 30 or so years, not nearly enough is done to promote and educate on how to eat healthy in a way that is feasible to do on a regular basis and also affordable. Eating healthy is, comparatively, fucking expensive. So is eating unhealthy, but in many cases eating unhealthy is more affordable than eating healthy
