Purrfection.

This; works on Mull; there is no submit button, it just constantly refreshes the results and thus is slow AF from continuously juggling the data.

He’s still in it for the fascist coup.

Just because you put +5V, +12V, and ground on the Molex plug doesn’t mean the drive is going to be powered up and spinning. The controller on the drive controls the motors (duh) and may be shutting the whole works down if it’s receiving what it interprets as invalid or malformed commands.

I was trying the same thing years ago, with a mid-90s HDD, a dedicated power supply for it, and a couple different IDE-USB adapters, and never got it to work. The drive shutting down when USB adapter is plugged in sounds familiar.

You got it. The IDE-USB adapters will technically only work with drives supporting ATA-2 (EIDE and newer).

Lots of arcade games and other amusement machines made in the last twenty years run on desktop Linux.

Incredible Technologies games, Raw Thrills/Play Mechanix Big Buck Hunter Pro, Arachnid dartboards, and TouchTunes jukeboxes off the top of my head.

Let’s just say “many!” The game is also proven Turing-complete so you can build a general-purpose computer within it, if you like.

My quick description of MtG to interested non-players: “One of the original CCGs, created by a math professor, like chess but you build your army from a pool of tens of thousands of pieces which is then randomized. Richard Garfield somehow patented turning cards sideways. 😅”

Sorry. If there is a keyboard key or other input event to scroll it, you could set a touchscreen gesture to emulate that input?

Does double tap and drag work?

Meaning: tap, lift, tap without lifting, drag.

sudo make-me-one

I can’t even get this Brother to scan to a flash drive in its own USB port. It acts like it’s successful; it scans and no errors show up… but the files just aren’t there. Tried multiple USB drives and made sure they were formatted to FAT32 in a sector size that Brother recommended in the manual.

Printing to it from Debian was even easier than expected, though. Plug it in, it shows up as a networked printer, and you print to it.

I have a similar PATA enclosure. I thought it was cursed until I got to reuse the A-A cable to upload FlashFloppy custom firmware to Gotek floppy emulators without wiring up a USB-serial adaptor.

It works for Ultimate Boot CD, which includes DBAN and a lot of other fun stuff.

I play with retro hardware and Ventoy has also worked for me with some weird old isos that even Rufus didn’t work with (XP/Server 2003 multidisc from eXPerience that uses a Linux bootloader?)

I was installing Nobara 40 and discovered that the live session is allowed to suspend the PC during the install process. The system ended up having problems with some basic functions…

This, I tried some newer distros with Wayland and ended up going back to Debian Stable and X11 for gaming. Got Sunshine (for Moonlight handheld client streaming) working for in about a minute.

200+ models from 5 big device makers

Nearly 500 device models use them anyway.

Bleeping Computer reports 813 products from 10 vendors.

Checked the BIOS update file of a Gigabyte motherboard I have here (Z170X - Gaming 7):

DETECTED PKfail untrusted certificate

Issuer: CN=DO NOT TRUST - AMI Test PK

Only on games that were designed to use the IR. It was limited to Mystery-Gift-type quick transfers due to the low data speed and the need to keep the systems pointed directly at each other.

Each player needed a copy of the game. Game Boy Advance had a bootloader that could receive data to run a multiplayer game with no cartridge.

Hiren’s Boot CD PE

My bad. Well, obviously Motorola has 14 configured and available for this device, so I don’t know what to tell you.

Luckily, my gov’t now forces providers to un-network-lock devices after a certain waiting period (60 days?), and the bootloader seems to be unlockable! I’m not feeling like a slave, just paying more for the phone than what I signed up for.

Edit: I’ll always trust Motorola over, say, Samsung, where the Galaxy S-whatever (US version) and the same name device (International version) even have a completely different processor!
