The reader will be one side and the USB port the other. There should be no connection on the port (provided you don&#39;t plug anything in) so you should be able to figure out which the reader is from the multimeter in a split second I would imagine. Or, conversely, you could test to the USB port to eliminate which one not to use.<br/><br/>Obviously the port wouldn&#39;t work with this (unless you do two connectors, but that seems pointless.) 2026-04-07T22:47:48Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqswkuyrjdrxux32hrdtysm7yym0f96z5g96jr6hh5cmkeccu0rw9mszypg47qu2nm223jn574lpzae9ad32hgqgrvxla0rz5a8uc9rm33luq3eyg7j In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs9ykz2lfckmjqedt0pevddej4x082cau6kpq7hwrrhjmmw9d4ewcgpzlrpl'>nevent1q…lrpl</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Am I misunderstanding something? Wouldn&#39;t you just simply get a type-A connector and run the appropriate lines over? The only hard part I guess is figuring out which side it uses.

I&#39;ve compared a lot about the two and 2D is amazing on the Saturn. But it sure falls flat at 3D.<br/><br/>That said, a few games that mix stuff did better on the Saturn. The best example being Grandia. On the Playstation the battle screen with its 2D sprites placed on a 3D background is very jerky and wobbly to a point that one could almost get nausea (I imagine many people do?)<br/><br/>I&#39;ve also been looking at stuff that was translated, but I haven&#39;t found a whole lot.<br/><br/>Biggest problem I&#39;m seeing is emulation is still a hot mess even after all this time. :Yikes: 2026-03-26T18:23:28Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsp6m3ltfaygfdksfcx9kkct7uypgft69vxr49nyz5rsycnjzhl4pqzypg47qu2nm223jn574lpzae9ad32hgqgrvxla0rz5a8uc9rm33luqlypp8p In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsz0vkdsy3xek4l24shq62mppyq4jrj5qyusvc5jqq37cnppcfs9xqnacahx'>nevent1q…cahx</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I still can&#39;t decide how I feel about having missed out on the Saturn. It was an intriguing system, but definitely had a lot of limitations. Some stuff on it was really really good, but it was kind of a case of a few really amazing things a few neutral or bad and not much else versus many really good things, a few amazing, and a whole lot of neutral or bad on the Playstation. I always kind of wanted a Saturn, but it just never happened and looking back on it I think I would have been a lot less happy and missed out on a lot.<br/><br/>Of course, in an ideal world I would have had both. 😆<br/><br/>One of these days I&#39;m going to sit down with emulation and really work through some of the stuff I missed out on back then. 2026-03-26T18:15:52Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsflfaam7uph9le34s02j9pktc4uuhedlzaykr7fr0hls200seeyzqzypg47qu2nm223jn574lpzae9ad32hgqgrvxla0rz5a8uc9rm33luqhz5t8n In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs0vx4fuyv6angsz2zrex095n6prvc3gs64tx99ap8mka6w867k3jgfl8r8p'>nevent1q…8r8p</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I tried to look it up by screenshots.<br/><br/>Something tells me this is a game you can&#39;t determine much about with screenshots... 😆 2026-03-21T17:21:01Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsqr8hcevc2mk2waw52ua58nylyj3fysspf77l0ukkp83kd8qzdg9gzypg47qu2nm223jn574lpzae9ad32hgqgrvxla0rz5a8uc9rm33luq8azj2g In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsgs5e9v006sttfyysra56emjgndnlnfymwa3adry0zdyyyswy7mgq89h87w'>nevent1q…h87w</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I really am praying that you don&#39;t.

It&#39;s sad that so many didn&#39;t properly appreciate it and sadder still that it had a bed rep for so long thanks to bad publicity (Angry Videogame Nerd.) It was anything but perfect of course. Especially figuring out the secret at that cliff with the none-too-intuitive clues given. Translation issue abounded apparently. It seems the original text was a lot clearer on some things that caused enormous confusion in the translation.<br/><br/>Despite all this it was just such an epic adventure. It and Metroid were pretty much the official originators of the &#34;metroidvania&#34; term (Castlevania 1 was linear without items/abilities to progress after all.)

What&#39;s wrecking them is the freaking &#34;loudness war&#34; as they call it. That&#39;s the thing that makes records tend to be better: they&#39;re not fully immune to the loudness war, but they&#39;re darned close to it since compressing the dynamics makes it hard to actually fit the full thing on a record, thus records are generally made without that.<br/><br/>Which means the real issue is the loudness war and I really wish people could do something about it.<br/><br/>I have a bit of a sensitivity to the scratching sound (or whatever I should call it) that records make, so I kind of couldn&#39;t do that even if I wanted (though most of my favorite music isn&#39;t really going to be on records anyway.)<br/><br/>And yeah, the price has become a major problem these days too. 2026-02-21T22:59:57Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsgzlstxp54wp9g9j6m7gnj02hw7vhpehrtxxt6ahu47agg8kxxtjszypg47qu2nm223jn574lpzae9ad32hgqgrvxla0rz5a8uc9rm33luqk33rgx In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsg85nnps2c8ch6fxuejkql26n3d7y7jn055uzfsatxuqr8kcuz4wsx505qa'>nevent1q…05qa</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I was more of a SNES person, but this statement is absolute fact.

Very premium hardware inside for its time. A good fast CPU, enough RAM, etc etc. I later got a Z5 Compact which was almost as good with better hardware, but not as durable and slightly worse side grips.<br/><br/>These things fit **IN** my hand, not **AROUND** my hand as is the popular trend.

Education is absolutely vital to society and eliminating it degrades us. We may as well move on here because you will never ever change my mind that education is not *VITAL*.

Even here in America with all its *numerous* problems with violence it is not. The most violent thing I know of is if a parent continues to refuse to do basic required things for their child, the child may be separated. (This I will qualify as violence in its own way, but the safety of the child does matter too. It is complicated and will not fit character limits.) That is done in a courtroom, not at gunpoint.<br/><br/>If your country uses guns to enforce this, then I will agree that that is not ok.<br/><br/>Anyone who ever points a gun at a child is inherently broken. 2025-11-27T00:08:37Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsv3lk5gzsmm3u3yccndr6sj798374g0stp5d4xzxexgyx77v5pxzszypg47qu2nm223jn574lpzae9ad32hgqgrvxla0rz5a8uc9rm33luqt9kw5u In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs052dhr4v5l0mzhq575yfkt4zpttv72x8cj8xh6z8nd3xvkh6r8lcu8dgvv'>nevent1q…dgvv</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>When you say &#34;compulsory schooling&#34; do you mean being forced to go to school at all?

I would argue that the lack of actually *learning* things is a huge part of how my country (America) has gotten where it is today.

But it was a... very specific term you chose there...<br/><br/>I&#39;m not really sure that companies have stopped using yeast. I can&#39;t say one way or the other on mass producers, but I know most places that make their own bread commercially still use yeast. Most even do the whole keeping a batch &#34;up to date&#34; (I forget what you call it, but where you take some from each batch to add to what what was removed so it evolves over time to a particular taste.) Perhaps mass production companies do use baking soda, but their biggest taste issue is too much sugar. 2025-10-30T00:17:20Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqs2dk4kd4qghc7wupjkces3d9qlqmq6xw5ac8y5qq3k0aw2lhjq4fczypg47qu2nm223jn574lpzae9ad32hgqgrvxla0rz5a8uc9rm33luq8d72kj In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsdf7s8hc3klgjpydwd2kxjss46wujpf2sjckdc7999lzylq9zjfyqjceuy6'>nevent1q…euy6</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>&#34;Chemical agents&#34; — ... Sure it sounds scary if you say it that way, but I prefer the more standardized term of &#34;baking soda.&#34;<br/><br/>Humans have been using baking soda for millennia.<br/><br/>(I don&#39;t know about the gluten thing, but I know it&#39;s the in thing to claim non-celiac disease gluten sensitivity but it is not supported by evidence and, in fact, generally disproven by evidence. I harbor doubts that they&#39;ve actually increased gluten that much, but even if they have, you&#39;re likely barking up a wrong tree there too.)<br/><br/>Actually, the biggest thing I&#39;ve heard of in regards to this stuff which I suspect is more likely is that more of the actual hulls/etc get separated out now instead of ground in.

(Understatement of the year...) 2025-10-15T04:24:44Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsgfrczl975myh6wung58k85f43gtwn7s5ztgyuf3dkkath4kptp6szypg47qu2nm223jn574lpzae9ad32hgqgrvxla0rz5a8uc9rm33luq7ysypu In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqszsxy8jwh3xa56qwwzyzsdcm6uut60madsdcfmxmaafh3je0qrssgdm963t'>nevent1q…963t</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Are you sure? The description says it was meant to compete with the Corvette and it&#39;s a two-door, two-seater coup with almost no storage space and those whatever you call them on the back window that make the rear view practically non-existent running a large V6 with a pretty decent amount of power and torque for its time.<br/><br/>Like it may be relatively comfortable to sit in as the seats do look kind of roomy, but it doesn&#39;t sound like something you&#39;d want to travel a long distance in to me.<br/><br/>I admit I knew nothing about the car and have to look it up (and back when I saw this movie knew even less) and perhaps it&#39;s not designed to actually out-accelerate a Corvette, but it really sounds like this thing should not exactly be a slouch either... 2025-10-15T04:19:34Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqs9ewvrn5x5drdlxu65gtsh4yzwcs4hc0jcklxkk92wsuhp9kg5a9gzypg47qu2nm223jn574lpzae9ad32hgqgrvxla0rz5a8uc9rm33luqnx23az In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs8x6ljlj57luc9awlsus96d8nzrh7g5mqkaex7t5fq52j9clfgyds9kkue9'>nevent1q…kue9</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Lol, were they actually that bad?

Is there any sort of *reasonable* completely offline server + client for the old Ragnarok Online game? (The MMORPG with the overhead view, not that sidescrolling thing they did later.) Something actually easy to setup that I can run in WINE/Proton or something like that would be preferable. Preferably something with the original maps and everything. I don&#39;t even want any extreme modifications (like I tried one freeshard once a long long time ago with something like 50x XP or something and it made leveling completely unfun...)<br/><br/>Was just getting a bit nostalgic for some of the old stuff I played way way back in the day, but I don&#39;t want to do online services. I want something that runs entirely on my own PC. 2025-10-14T00:23:00Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqs0kvsl9k677wjczxxm8anrayp2td9ztmh37szxgkmppm3j2t6d6sszypg47qu2nm223jn574lpzae9ad32hgqgrvxla0rz5a8uc9rm33luqslrx36 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsgcjn4kfp7w3ds5e2wklv6vg5hqakhnyevhgd65gkz6x6upnz4uggzkashq'>nevent1q…ashq</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Lol, I guess this means it turns on extra tolerances for the 2.4GHz range? 2025-10-13T20:30:41Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsv5k0ul3x755lyqyyjfvvazl90lrxh3gt9d3l8929jhmel8twe4aszypg47qu2nm223jn574lpzae9ad32hgqgrvxla0rz5a8uc9rm33luqqrk3jd In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsfcthdm3krl0jvn4pq5auaklallm8d2w8ftk78vh9v7nksn6mzxfch499dh'>nevent1q…99dh</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Well, they can&#39;t digest it, but that&#39;s kind of the point.

The point is: if a person can&#39;t run it, I can&#39;t recommend that they try to run it since they can&#39;t run it.<br/><br/>I&#39;m glad you have money. I do not. I&#39;ve been having to work out a lot of stuff lately looking forward and the phone, unfortunately had to be delegated to a lower priority. I am not the only one in this situation. Unless you&#39;re planning to hand out money (or the phones themselves,) don&#39;t decide for people that they should go buy something.<br/><br/>I don&#39;t really understand why you&#39;re even arguing so hard about this, but let&#39;s move on. Graphene is good — for those who can use it — and I recommend it — for those who can use it. But like it or not, its availability is limited. 2025-09-28T21:15:00Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqs9erampsx5etrl694hc3jl66jxezz932hyj696jwklqc88wd2dn2czypg47qu2nm223jn574lpzae9ad32hgqgrvxla0rz5a8uc9rm33luq9xujmq In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs27y4lztqh6g8awdlps2vtdymvya2vfh44dpvy08dlkczaq9sg4dgdaym5t'>nevent1q…ym5t</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Unfortunately, whichever is the reason, the result is the same: anyone without a Pixel device can&#39;t use it at all and anyone without a very recent Pixel device will find themselves much more limited. I&#39;m not blaming Graphene, I&#39;m just saying I can&#39;t recommend it to people who... don&#39;t have a Pixel... Which, unfortunately, means a *huge* number of Android users.<br/><br/>And no, we don&#39;t all have hundreds for new devices. (Don&#39;t forget also, we have to work with the sellers and etc — especially when buying used — to ensure Verizon hasn&#39;t gotten their dirty claws on it and locked it. Yes, Google lets Verizon lock them. Not sure if any others do.) Buying used comes with its own caveats and still isn&#39;t exactly cheap. 2025-09-28T20:51:46Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsfm8qgkv5c0uq7a9zdare5rxe5v8tx299da08kze6dxf240rsqfdczypg47qu2nm223jn574lpzae9ad32hgqgrvxla0rz5a8uc9rm33luqf0tqh7 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsg6g8gr0p9sfsfl6y5nywsczrxp7sjtslssvkrskcvsk9vu3yf5jsjzrwmn'>nevent1q…rwmn</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Yeah, GrapheneOS has some great security features. It&#39;s too bad they keep it so tightly limited on hardware though. That makes it a lot harder to recommend. And some of us can&#39;t afford to necessarily upgrade that often either. I have a Pixel, but it&#39;s &#34;Bramble&#34; (4A 5G) which just went into the long term support meaning basically no updates unless it&#39;s something ultra-serious breaking, so I&#39;m having to make serious considerations of if it&#39;s better to just keep using the old builds that will surely get badly out of date or switch to something else that does less of stuff like this but stay more up to date. 2025-09-28T16:12:28Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsxestmy4fvzd7nn7ju4a3945m39v7pw3e0sf6kg5y5vx5fjvqsavczypg47qu2nm223jn574lpzae9ad32hgqgrvxla0rz5a8uc9rm33luq2s0s82 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqst7fkt9jalxmpxtf88w8u7s62uqtnr0mauuf8ccd3zyxe5jwtcu6gs86zh6'>nevent1q…6zh6</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>As far as I&#39;m concerned, Android must never ever be run stock except just one time to make initial service provider connections on the SIM to enable full features (and definitely no eSIM because you need to be able to swap/etc and control it yourself.)<br/><br/>No one should buy any phone that can&#39;t run a third party OS such as LineageOS (though better still, more secure variants like Graphene or Calyx whenever they finish their security audit or etc.) Obviously staying away from phones provided by &#34;service&#34; providers like Verizon that lock them down... Absolutely, under no circumstances should any phone be allowed to run stock more than just the few minutes it takes to initialize things, then unlock and install something clean.<br/><br/>Isn&#39;t modern enshittification *great*?? :HoloAngry: 2025-09-28T14:44:35Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsgr7tnmkeujl4vq4hfwhuez2xe5dtcf2a3mnyxa8nl2l0s900f66czypg47qu2nm223jn574lpzae9ad32hgqgrvxla0rz5a8uc9rm33luqwepl4j In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsft7e8v4wnef9j9rf90lfrhuq0ddsxztdmdyjn53pqk2cjqdstzzgjevfe0'>nevent1q…vfe0</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Oh I totally get that, I really do! I know they have to use JavaScript because of blocking/etc Youtube is doing so they can process things to look like a browser being run by a user.<br/><br/>But that doesn&#39;t mean this is the correct way to handle it...<br/><br/>Like I said, I think the real answer is to just integrate the necessary code into their own project. Essentially still using the external dependency, but keeping it in a much more controlled and minimal way without external installation.<br/><br/>I will say that I won&#39;t be installing this Deno at this time. When it&#39;s properly evaluated more and starts showing up as a package in distros — if that even can happen — maybe, but I&#39;m not just going to install something from a site trying so hard to sell itself to me just because yt-dlp tells me to. 2025-09-25T12:54:55Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsptlspfs48m3jrjmcpyjj4jl4rg9txlyzjptgcuy656q8wwzrhxdgzypg47qu2nm223jn574lpzae9ad32hgqgrvxla0rz5a8uc9rm33luqprcpz0 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs0jg6x0kap098g0xjnqxsae9fm8zjjgrtnkmnl5a88jpfl4y0s7ngmneupu'>nevent1q…eupu</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>This one makes for quite a problem IMO. It&#39;s requiring an external tool that as far as I can tell isn&#39;t even managed by distros (I can&#39;t find packages anyway) so has to be manually installed and one has to wonder how much it can be trusted (like sure it is right now, but will it remain so?) The less preferred options don&#39;t even work on their own — you have to use a command line parameter.<br/><br/>What I&#39;m really wondering here is why they don&#39;t just integrate its code into their own code. If they can&#39;t do that because of licensing, they need to instead focus on using something where they can. Then they have control over just how much it actually uses and how.<br/><br/>I think they may be losing sight of the fact that yt-dlp was meant to be a small, mostly self-contained package. 2025-09-25T12:48:42Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqs8eqhfk6gsk5p2jsp3pqx6fj6r7kpcwctylnf2jd94sd00a20jzlqzypg47qu2nm223jn574lpzae9ad32hgqgrvxla0rz5a8uc9rm33luq2kmk58 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsdcawgxv544n5hc2xjh0dk30a3f05qcvucqmdvxc2xv40dwuesawcerzkh8'>nevent1q…zkh8</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Ah, I see.<br/><br/>Yeah, they just do normal glass in their things as far as I&#39;ve ever seen.
