Blocking software features in apps based on phone model, not because it's not supported by your hardware, but simply because you haven't bought the newest one, should be illegal.

Who does that and why? Only the phone manufacturer profits from selling new models.
As app dev you have the goal to have a successful app. Locking features based on model without technical reasons is counterproductive.

I am talking about phone manufacturers, yeah. It sucks seeing the built-in apps receive new versions, but having the new features gated because you're not on the newest model, even though they aren't hardware-constrained.

Honestly, it also just sucks in general that engineers would spend their time developing ways to lock features like this instead of just leaving them be.

Okay is there even a cheat database for Swiss that won't require me to grab everything one by one for all the games I have? Like I'm talking about a database for all Gamecube games, so I can enable 16:9 cheats for the games I'm putting on my SD card.

One of the only feelings to transcend love and hate, is lament. You hate your worst enemy, you love your soulmate, but when your soulmate is gone, you miss them. And when your enemy is gone, you miss them too.

"when your enemy is gone, you miss them too."

Do mosquitoes count as enemies?

no, thats an archnemesis, not an enemy. also its ironic you ask that because mosquitos absolutely love me. i thought "hmm, they rarely go for the hands, so why dont i wear a long sleeve" they just bit my hands instead. and usually, they dont bite once, they like triple dip

Wuh oh it seems like Nintendo has taken down a bunch of switch emulators! if you're currently in the process of making an article on here for it then that's good. if not, then can I try my best taking about it?

I use Plex/PlexAmp right now, which is... "fine". I still haven't got my Jellyfin server set up yet but I don't expect I'll be using it for music. Navidrome has been on my list to check out, but I also saw this a few days ago which sounds interesting. https://github.com/Arthi-chaud/Meelo

@Sicklyboy That does look interesting. I do have a Plexpass which I bought years ago but would rather use open source software where I can. Early signs of Navidrome is positive, it is more efficient in loading up the library and pulling metadata and plays nicel;y with Symfonium on my phone whereas Jellyfin was a bit of a mess. Will continue with Jellyfin for TV and anime but certainly not for music.

Yeah long term I plan to ditch Plex entirely in favor of Jellyfin (though not for music). I too prefer OSS, and I'm really not a fan of the direction Plex as a company is headed. I've just deprioritized it so heavily in lieu of other projects around the homelab that need attention lol

Ay no, I can't remember where to find Rock Smash.
Accidentally broke sequence.

Rock Smash is obtained from a fat guy to the west of Violet City, north from the Ruins of Alph - after dealing with Sudowoodo. The guy should be looking to the left, from memory.

It's also a TM here, and after getting the first one from that guy, more can be bought in Goldenrod Dept. Store.

I was buying stuff on 'Xianyu', and someone intercepted me again. :angry:
I bought a second-hand IS-TWL-DEBUGGER(S/N 1102453) yesterday. The controller is really dirty, the console hadn’t been tested, and it might have gotten water damage, so I offered 5,500 RMB. The seller agreed on the price, I paid in full, and then packed it up.

Even if this machine is brand new, it's only worth 10,000 RMB. I don't understand why that person wants to stop my deal.
My originally planned 'teardown' blog is canceled...

I seriously suspect it's this person. :rolleyes:
(That seller also has a CAT-DEV.)
There's a Romanian guy who is constantly watching 'Xianyu'; he buys things at a low price and then sells them at a high price on eBay. Someone in Zhejiang(浙江), China is acting as his agent.
He recently monopolized all factory versions of DSipanda, Wii U dev kits CAT-DEV, and some factory test carts.
40+ DSipanda: 300 RMB(orig. unit price) → 1,900 2,999 RMB :huh:
? factory carts: 150 RMB(orig. unit price) → 2,300 RMB :O
4 (5?) CAT-DEV: 1,325 RMB(orig. unit price) → 29,999 66,666 RMB :wtf:
.
EDIT: Since I was sure it was him, I un'Spoiler'.

It's that Romanian guy!!!:angry::angry::angry:
This Zhejiang(浙江) IP account is his agent in China.

From a business logic standpoint, it might be 'legal'? But in terms of human decency, it's definitely 'immoral'.
(These Nintendo dev kits are actually all illegal.)
The following content is from the original seller.

I made the full switch a year or two ago myself. I had a 2080 Super at the time, and not gonna lie, I was still more than happy to do the nvidia-related troubleshooting if it meant I didn't have to use Windows anymore, even with a stable system. I switched to AMD last year though and it's rock solid now

The mods are going to have a field day removing the same boring quote that doesn't contribute to anything related to this. That does look quite cool, though. Not entirely huge on new Pokemon ROM hacks but it's good to see new stuff is being added.
