How are you unable to get a 5v fan to not work? just plug it into the 5v and ground on the GPIO ports.

My pay checks beg to differ.

So a step up from crayon-eater?

No snaps are fucking tragic and should be avoided at all costs.

As both a Linux professional and freedom loving enthusiast that hates corporate bullshit, you bet your black ass I am. The block button is also free.

Anything but Ubuntu will be perfectly fine. There really isn’t that much difference between the major distributions.

Build a PC

Install Linux

Fuck corporate bullshit.

Sorry you’re dumb. All you need for retropie is a RP4 and a SD card. The image burns directly to the SD card, insert, power on, play games.

I made a fucking console from the ground up. I didn’t do it to be easy – I did it because I could, and now I have something unique that is amazing to use, gorgeous to look at, runs everything up to Dreamcast/Dolphin with ease. And anyone can do it with the STLs I give away.

It even supports bluetooth audio but I will admit getting that to work was the only pain point of the whole build, but mostly because my un-official build didn’t have bluetooth support out of the box for audio so I needed to install the pipewire service and enable audio to the bluetooth device. Still only took a few minutes to work out.

What the fuck are you on about? I just build a Raspberry Pi based console running RetroPie with a custom cooler, fan, and power button with LED indicator. Check out my recent posts to 3D printing.

I compiled nothing but RetroPie since the Pi 5 isn’t officially supported but it was dirt simple to do. Install Raspbian, clone RetroPie repo, run install script, press enter on the first option, wait a few hours.

Once again, you just suck at computing. Especially if after 15 years you still can’t Bash. In 15 years I built a career as a senior linux engineer.

I just taught myself parametric CAD including both solid body and surface modeling in 3 months.

I’m talking about an operating system, not a toy. Playstation is a toy, like a tonka truck, or a tricycle. Your rebuttal is bad.

I once wrote a quick little scrapper that ran at midnight and would email me the listing. I think I’ll have to re-write it if there’s some sweet deals on hardware. Im still using my 10 year old 4k display i got for stupid cheap.

So? Fisher price makes some good toys if you want something easy to play with.

Does Meh have good deals again? I used to check that daily but the last few years it seems like its been nothing but cheap chinese garbage.

Linux is easy.

You’re still beholden to the hardware manufacturers whether you buy a PC or a shitty console but at least with a PC you have choices and you’re spreading your corporate money out to those you feel worth it instead of motherfucking freedom-hating Sony.

Google removed their search cached pages, unfortunately

Oh shit that’s a much better idea than what i did!

I am very glad I went back for it. Now I need to make a few more… :-D
