Hi, This is just a quick post to say goodbye, and to thank everyone for the fun I've had through this place. I've been getting gradually less active for nearly a year, and I think it's time to call it quits. I've still got GBAtemp as my homepage and I feel guilty every time I see it, because I...
Hi guys, Me and some friends are travelling down to London at the end of this month for two days on the super-cheap MegaBus. Aside from the usual jam-packed touristy type places, what is there to do on a budget? I've got the Trocadero earmarked already, and a few friends want to visit Camden...
I can't understand why there's such a commotion on Reddit and similar sites about The Penguin Bar 'selling out'. After putting in such a massive investment of 60 million SEK (about $7.8 million or £4.7 million), the company who buys them will not alter the site substantially. If they do...
So, my iPod was supposed to be delivered today. Nope. What was delivered was a sheet of paper telling me that because I was out, they've ran off with my parcel and hidden it in some damp, dingy warehouse nearly 15 miles away from my house. Now, to me it's quite obvious that during the day the...
NEW AND IMPROVED VERSION AT POST #21 LADIES AND GENTLEMEN MAY I NOW PRESENT SINKHEAD'S HOME MADE AIR-CONDITIONING UNIT. Because I'm too poor to afford a proper one. It's made from some sellotape, an old PC fan, a Jaffa Cakes tray and cardboard. DID I DO WELL, GBATEMP?
The Report System has recently been greatly improved behind-the-scenes for staff. For members it still looks the same, but the new system of dealing with reports means they will be handled much faster and more efficiently than before. So... If you see something that could be considered...
Ok, so on Friday night at about 10:15pm we had just arrived at the kayaking trip with the rest of the club. At 10:45 I was in the car on the way to A&E :( Basically, me and Gaz and the rest of the club were play fighting (for lack of a better word) over glow sticks. Now, I'm one of the oldest...
Please, guys, if you're going to report something, just report it! Don't reply to the thread saying 'lol i rported u rofl dats not alouwed!!!!!11!!' It's really hard to read through the whole thread in case somebody quoted the post or made a reply such as the one above. Thanks a lot :)
Recently on Digg I saw screenshots for the next Ubuntu upgrade... In the past I would have been excited about that, when I was a Microsoft hater, thought they were a big monolithic evil force that had to be stopped. And then I realized that actually, Windows is good. People say it's buggy...
Before I begin, this is just one way of doing this, there are many different providers and many different newsreaders to choose from, I'm using the ones I know how to use and the ones I feel comfortable with. The Usenet provider I use is Usenet-News because of the block accounts they do (buy...
As I'm sure you're aware, Brawl is doing an excellent job of slowing down GBAtemp down, as well as creating all those nasty MySQL errors. And it's difficult to moderate efficiently in these conditions, so I'm asking you to help us to yourself <span style='font-size:11pt;line-height:100%'> If a...
Due to reasons I don't particularly want to share I've been without a computer for five days now, which made me realize just how useful my DS is. I've played pretty much all the DS games I'm interested in, but I've never really got into emulators. So using DSOrganize's browser I managed to...
I've seen lots of these freebie-type websites dotting around but they always required you to refer friends which I didn't like (not because I don't have friends :P) but because my friends just weren't interested. And then I say GamingLagoon from a link in Linkiboy's signature. Unfortunately, at...
After having a go with my friend's poi, I decided I wanted some of my own, so I ordered some (there goes my food for the week :'( ) My friend had some rainbow-coloured ones but they look a bit childish, so I got myself some better ones. Instead of hard ends they are beanbag ones, and the tails...
I'm not really against rain as a whole because it makes a good noise on the roof and makes the rivers more fun to kayak, but today I was especially glad to see it. It's been raining for a week now, almost non-stop, which means loads of areas have been flooded. Unfortunately I don't have any...
The DS Motion Card was released way back in November 2006 which was a shame, because that's just the time slot-1 flashcarts were becoming popular. Therefore, some people were put off the Motion Card because they would be unable to use a slot-1 flashcart, and so a little later on the DS Motion...

    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:

  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:

  • 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.

    @BigOnYa, Lol I bought a new USB card reader thing on AliExpress last month for I think like 87 cents. Free shipping from China... It arrived it works and honestly I don't understand how it was so cheap.
