Raspbian (modified Debian Jesse) on a raspberry pi 2B (which I am still using over a decade later to host some discord bots). Also now using Debian 1Bookworm on an old optiplex as a media server.

I’m still using the old 2014 apple airport extreme as a router/NAS.

pretty sure the image is Gen AI

avoid Magicka 1 for multiplayer if you can. The final update they pushed before abandoning it turned multiplayer into a buggy, crashy mess

Edit: it might be fine for local couch multiplayer actually

Looks like the color space is being read improperly somewhere.

Not sure if this will fix your problem, but you can set the color space of an image with the ColorSync Utility (should be preinstalled on macos). Open the image (File > Open), and at the bottom of the window select Apply Profile. Try experimenting with profiles in the second drop down box to see if the problem goes away (they shouldn’t change the way the image looks on your screen).

sRGB should be compatible with everything, but it’s old and doesn’t have a very wide gamut. For your image it should be fine though.

Based on this pin configuration, there’s only two dedicated power pins, which isn’t very good for large wattages. The rest are twinax signal pairs separated by ground to reduce crosstalk.

Usually when connectors are designed for power delivery, they’ll use bigger contacts to reduce the contact resistance (signal contacts tend to be small so you can fit more of them in the same space). I’m guessing the original DP connector form factor wasn’t made with such high power in mind, so it would make a lot of sense to use the spare signal pins for power delivery in this case. Running too much power through too few small pins can damage the contacts, by either by instant-welding the contact surfaces or by overheating the connector (see NVIDIA GPUs) ((also high voltages can cause arcing, which even in the best case will seriously degrade any connector)).

Take all of this with a huge grain of salt cause I just learned this stuff like a month ago, and my department has nothing to do with any of it. Just though someone might find it interesting.

I’ve never heard of this guy. Thanks for sharing!

Also damn what a stupid name

Hi! I actually work at a major electrical connector company, so maybe I can shed some light on this.

I have no idea.

That’s a lot of power! Are there even any devices that use this?

Make sure the dog isn’t uncomfortable with any of this either. The Snout Smooch is practically asking to get nipped

also the B key is curved to match the slope of the edge of the console

eh why not. Hello! How do you do?

This made me laugh really hard

What kind of software would people usually download through the television?

For anyone wondering why they would need to see polarized light: I actually looked into this a few months ago!

Other animals that are trying to blend in with the environment often use countershading appear less conspicuous. The problem with this is that this method can’t replicate the polarization of the light behind them, making them stand out if you can see that sort of thing. ((Sunlight in the ocean is always polarized based on the direction of the sun (look up fresnel equations for s and p polarized light))). Even transparent creatures will interrupt the polarization in some way, so this is a very useful skill to have.

… and also both are a lot more expensive than they were before

I feel like the box being made out of metal was probably more important than the chicken soul, but whatever works I guess
