  • The video out is just an rca cable you can plug it into a more modern tv in the yellow video port. I'm using an lcd tv I have for older stuff.

  • I just picked one up for $20. Missing the cable for the double disk drive though and it had a bad psu and I have no disks. Basically it's a money pit. But fun to mess with anyway.

  • I don't see why you couldn't just use a different material if you wanted a more permanent solution. A resin printer is likely ideal to get good accuracy.

  • I'm anticipating a crackdown on piracy in the near future. Even if you use a VPN that could get you flagged and traffic analyzed maybe even dropped from your ISP.

  • Blocking ads isn't stealing

  • Yeah maybe it was Microsoft It's been quite a few years since it happened.

  • I remember there was an article years ago, before the ai hype train, that google had made an ai chatbot but had to shut it down due to racism.

  • I made !flipping@lemmy.world for discussing this very thing. I wrote a beginners guide to eBay. I recently figured out that people on marketplace care more about PCs with a windowed case and rgb lights over system specs.

  • You can buy books by the truckload for almost nothing because nobody wants them.

  • I'm still using YouTube with smarttube or whatever it's called now and vanced. They have adblocking and sponsor block so I don't get shitty ads and I can still pick who I watch. I did go and download a bunch of kids videos since someone watches the same show all the time and now just use jelyfin for that.

  • Apps can collect all your data from your phone whereas a website doesn't have access to your GPS location, etc necessarily.

  • *Develops an open online payment system that isn't a scam.

  • Best I can do is 9/16

  • It's always awesome to see the community I created mentioned in the wild!

    I also created !dullsters@dullsters.net as an independent alternative.

  • I also mod. !dull_mens_club@lemmy.world There's no difference between creating a community on a big instance and hosting a small one in that regard. The costs would be the exact same. I'm taking administration into my own hands and taking that load away from them, and decentralizing which benefits users. If Lemmy.World goes down or defederates from another big instance or makes up some weird rules, then my instance isn't affected and users have continuity even if they have to make a new account elsewhere.

  • The way Lemmy works that media is stored on their instance, not mine. The only thing stored on mine are posts and whatever I upload. It costs $5 a month for a cloud server. I could host from home but I don't feel like messing with it and it's cheaper than setting up a server.

  • Without users the hosting cost is very low. I suppose it could go away if something happened to me I guess. The point is that it's a community which is completely decentralized.

  • Feel free to visit. !dullsters@dullsters.net a completely independent and topic focused instance with no users. I created it so that the community would not disappear if an instance closed down or defederated from another big instance.
