That number has got to be way too low.

Like, multiples of 100 too low.

How big a battery? Are we talking about the size of a large rock? Or small rock?

The easiest way to be sure might be to check it yourself.

If Linux is already installed on these machines, run Hardinfo2. It will tell you specifically how many lanes each slot has. It should also report back on lots of hardware capabilities.

If drives are installed, you can benchmark them yourself.

And nothing of value was lost.

Cautiously optimistic.

Attempted satiation of the curse. Probably.

OP said they are stuck with the s23 for a while. So this doesn’t help them.

Mesh or tri-band backlane, probably.

If it has any wired ethernet devices plugged in, they may need the router to communicate with other routers.

There might be a different setting to turn it off.

Just like before, I will keep it disabled.

It AI’s the AIable content that AI hasn’t already AI’d.

Again, it’s not that different from using a Pixel phone on any other carrier. The only difference is the first point of contact for some of your personal information.

By the time it’s sold or traded between companies, it doesn’t matter what the first point of contact was.

Pretty much every carrier is the same way, unfortunately. And large companies sell and trade the data between each other.

Tell me you don’t understand software development without telling me you don’t understand software development.

It’s not about liquid money. It’s about “preventing piracy” by blocking anything that could allow people to use certain features via FOSS systems.

No, because electronics aren’t alive

If the license holder isn’t willing to accept the money, it doesn’t matter if Valve is willing to pay it.

Very admirable work, but I can’t help but feel like they are late to the game.

I work on those handhelds, and they’re all slowly dying. The onboard flash memory is starting to fail more often in older units, and even newer ones are prone to developing significant screen issues. Parts are mostly still available - but some, like the power boards, are getting harder to find.

It’s not as easy to swap the primary PCB as a Game Boy. And the chips are not off-the-shelf, so donor consoles are the only source of replacement chips.

This project looks fantastic, and I hope it succeeds. But the consoles themselves may be too old for this to have much impact.

I’m also a long time Synology user. Been using their NASes since around 2009.

Buy something else. You don’t want their current-gen hardware. As others have said, they’ve been removing features and hamstringing their own hardware. In a few years, when mine are no longer supported, I plan to buy or build something else.

Sadly, the only totally-safe way to use ANY computer - windows, mac, linux, anything - is to never connect it to a network in the first place.

Everything else is complicated.

A heist job.

The PCs are forced to kill, whether or not they want to.

At a pivotal moment, an NPC from one PC’s past shows up - or maybe just somebody who convincingly pretends to be one. They reveal information that makes it sound like the PC has been conspiring against the rest to split the hall with the NPC.

Thing is, the NPC is lying. But is very convincing.

In effect, you orchestrate a situation in which evil characters begin to infight. And because they’re evil, it creates lots of opportunity for highjinks.
