    anti-necroposting

    I've posted a suggestion related to this before, and from what I remember people liked it, but it never got implemented. I think if a thread has been dormant in a while, there should be an alert box above the reply area saying something like ‘This thread hasn't been active for X months/years...

    Question Notifications in the built in IRC chat

    This. I don't understand why we have two separate DM implementations; one instant messaging and one thread-like. Also, I'm probably splitting hairs, but I believe the current chat system isn't using the IRC protocol. There used to be a GBAtemp IRC channel, but it was replaced by this custom...

    Homebrew 3DS Controller

    Sorry, this isn't an answer to your question, but is there a reason you're not using nds-bootstrap/TWiLightMenu to run DS games on your console natively?

    A Way to Link your Backloggd account in your "About Me"

    There's already a Backloggery entry, so I don't see why not…although I could see these get out of hand rather quickly. Instead, I would suggest adding 3–5 custom fields where you can specify the name of the service yourself.

    "New Windows driver blocks software from changing default web browser"

    I honestly don't understand why you pass off anything that increases the time and effort to do something, no matter how small, as insignificant, but oh well.

    "New Windows driver blocks software from changing default web browser"

    Oh, trust me, if you were in my shoes, setting up 60 new laptops, you would understand. That time adds up quick.

    Windows users should try to be more open minded to try Linux

    I remember daily driving Ubuntu for around a year circa 2016. It was okay (the performance was phenomenal compared to Windows 10 on the same laptop), but I ultimately decided to switch back for a number of reasons: Constant debugging The Wi-Fi driver would fail every few hours and require...

    "New Windows driver blocks software from changing default web browser"

    I work as a system admin and this sounds terrible. It means, I'll have to dig into Windows Settings and set the default browser manually every time I set up a new company laptop – and I do that a lot. It will also prevent browsers from having a ‘Set as Default’ button pop up at first launch...

    Gaming Hardware Misc What Will happen if?

    If you can notice the difference, then a person handling real Joy-Cons all day definitely will.

    Gaming Hardware Misc What Will happen if?

    I would assume they would just realise it's not their product, not subject to their repair policy, and send them back. Confiscating them would be theft – the controllers are your property. Them sending back a real pair could be a possibility if they don't realise and tend to just exchange them...

    [Release] PS Wiita - Wii U Emulator for PS Vita/ PSTV

    The subforum should've been a dead giveaway.

    [Release] PS Wiita - Wii U Emulator for PS Vita/ PSTV

    I haven't touched this project in a while, but it should work from what I remember, unless something broke in newer Android versions that came out since*. Sony makes both the PS Vita and Android phones, so the two operating systems are actually quite similar. You should just be able to rename...

    Fake Nintendo Switch charger

    You said literally nothing in the first post, so I'm gonna assume based on this statement. Did you break your stock charger and order a knock-off in hopes of salvaging parts from it to repair the original? If so, good luck with that. The Switch uses a nonstandard charging protocol which makes...

    Suggestion Bionic reading implementation

    It doesn't help with ADHD – it helps with reading. I'm familiar with the concept and felt its effects. Basically, emphasising the first syllable of a word triggers your brain's ‘auto-complete’ so that you can recognise the word faster and know what it is without reading the full word, making...

    Suggestion Bionic reading implementation

    While I don't use extensions like the one you mentioned, this sounds reasonably easy to solve with a script (and therefore a bit unnecessary to implement on a site-level). I'm not sure why your extension forces reading mode onto the site – simply forcing any word-starting character to be bold...

    GBAtemp V8 / tempStyle 3.2 feedback thread - post bugs or feedback here

    I'm not sure whether this is a problem specifically with the new design or something more underlying, but here goes. I have notifications for new threads turned on for the Site Discussions subforum. Often, spammers will post their threads there which are promptly deleted, but the notifications...

    New reaction emoticons, for dropdown on posts

    I seem to be on the opposite end of the spectrum, then, because I mostly only tend to use the Like emote. If my memory serves right, the possibility of adding more emotes has been discussed before, but turned down as it could be a slippery slope: ‘If we're adding more emoticons, why not just...

    The Meme Box

    What makes this chunky boy really interesting is that it's actually a CRT display. Linus Tech Tips made a video about it if you're interested.

    I want a 120hz 4k tv but crazy how more expensive the 120hz over the 60hz are. Or even more crazy is the price of 8k's.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    No real point since movies are 30fps
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Not a big movie buff, more of a gamer tbh. And Series X is 120hz 8k ready, but yea only 120hz 4k games out right now, but thinking of in the future.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Mostly why you never see TV manufacturers going post 60hz
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I only watch tv when i goto bed, it puts me to sleep, and I have a nas drive filled w my fav shows so i can watch them in order, commercial free. I usually watch Married w Children, or South Park
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Stremio ruined my need for nas
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I stream from Nas to firestick, one on every tv, and use Kodi. I'm happy w it, plays everything. (I pirate/torrent shows/movies on pc, and put on nas)
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    What the hell is Kodi reposts? what do you mean, or "Wut?" -xdqwerty
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:

    Damn, only $2.06 and free shipping. Gotta cost more for them to ship than $2.06
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I got my Dad a firestick for Xmas and showed him those 3rd party sites on Kodi, he loves it, all he watches anymore. He said he has got 3 letters from AT&T already about pirating, but he says f them, let them shut my internet off (He wants out of his AT&T contract anyways)
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    That's where stremio comes to play never got a letter about it
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I just use a VPN, even give him my login and password so can use it also, and he refuses, he's funny.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I had to find and get him an old style flip phone even without text, cause thats what he wanted. No text, no internet, only phone calls. Old, old school.
