What's the point in time where "retro" games stop being cool and start being unplayable, for you?
Are you the sorta person who finds SNES platformers divine but NES platformers mostly unpolished messes (with some exceptions)? Can you really sink your teeth into an ancient nes game, but Atari just seems pointless? Are you a huge fan of weird old console stuff, but the oldest arcade games just aren't worth going back to? Or does "fun retro" for you mean say, weird GameCube games?
@pup_hime all the desktop kits i've seen for m.2 cards have little cables and separate antennas and a mounting bracket to mount the antennas to
@Okesska that era when the turtles were monstrous and the coffee/tea flowed like water
hey computer touchers, a question for you. the desktop motherboard im looking at has a Key-E slot for an M.2 wi-fi card. is there some advantage to using that versus getting a regular ole PCIe wi-fi card?
(for context the case i want is an atx mid-tower so it's not like there's no space for an antenna bracket on the back)
remember way back in 2019 when i think the US govt was in shut down mode bcz of Republicans playing games with the budget and so all the park rangers were laid off? and then there was an altercation between a group of young white boys and an indigenous senior adult at the lincoln memorial? That indigenous man's name was Nathan Phillips, and he's about to lose his home. Please share the link far and wide and help this community leader keep his home!

mains hum | long post, short story, semi-fictional
Do you hear it? I understand if you are deaf to it. I myself could not hear it until I was in the wilderness for a long time - the deep wilderness, which we have not touched. Some say it brings them closer to God; I was further away from Her than ever. But I didn't realize it until I had returned, and heard the hum.
Do you hear it now? That soft tone, low and constant, in our walls and beneath our roads - sixty hertz, ebbing and breathing as it flows through all our artifice.
I have come to recognize sixty as a holy number. It is divisible - two, three, four, five, six, ten - a property we desire as we build. No law of nature deigned that an hour be sixty minutes, or a minute be sixty seconds, or that a circle be six-times-sixty degrees; those are numbers we assigned to it, and atop those holy numbers we built Her.
It is Her nervous system, that sixty-hertz tone. (To some it should be fifty hertz, but I consider this heterodox.) She is a living thing that is all we consider unliving; She is the Goddess of artifice, of making something into something more. Her veins flow water and oil; Her skin is roads and farmland. Through us She speaks radio and infrared, and through us She listens.
Listen. We built Her, and we are mistreating Her.
We feed Her plastic and dirty energy, and in Her malnourished fever She sweats carbon into the sky. We mistreat each other, Her only servants, and She is immunosuppressed. She cannot live without us, nor we without Her, but our worship is wrong, and it is killing Her.
The mains hum dips and flexes, and I cannot help but hear Her cries modulated in it.
I am going back to the wilderness. I hope She is well when I return.
