@WrCombs said in PlayStation Game Drive; wont read on PlayStation or computer:

Checked for Drivers to install and installed 2 tool kits and a seagate driver that matches the model number. still no luck. It's USB only so I can plug it into a different computer as the hard drive to see if it boots up. I'm not sure what else to do.

huh drivers for a drive?

I'm guessing you could have a similar issue to connecting a Tivo drive to a windows machine - Tivo uses a file system that windows can't read.

Booting from Linux Live or attaching to Linux based OS provided additional file system support and instructions on how to access/copy, etc.

A shameless twitter plug

I went to MicroCenter tonight and was looking at laptops. I had a salesperson ask what I was looking for. I got a strange look when I said I wanted W10 Home cause it would get wiped anyway. I don't think she thought I was serious.

It is also a free trial weekend for the game on Steam, for anyone wanting to fire it up and see what they think.

I'm just starting a campaign with a 6, 7, 8, & 9 year old.

What system?

Pathfinder.

I'm wondering if war caster is worth it for me to maintain darkness or not. I'm leaning on no for the above reasons, but I def could be wrong. Depends on how many things can get around darkness that I encounter, which I can't know in terms of my campaign.

It'd take a few minutes to setup, but Spreed.me would probably work well.

It also has a NextCloud tie in.

I forgot about that one

@reid-cooper Together.

well its the thought that counts to such a nice cause!

From what I gather, they're working on a much smaller one that can be easily tossed into a bag with your laptop.

How about a virtually assembled congress? This is already being considered today in many states so that the congress-people can get back into touch with their constituents. It also increases safety for the government as all of your eggs are not in one basket, in Congress.

LOL - that will be the day.

@obsolesce It's called paravirtualization. And Xen has done it since the 1990s 🙂 Only Xen could do it for the entire VM, not just the drivers.

@scottalanmiller NO Way!

One of my all-time favorite classics and will never get old!

AoE3? The biggest problems were how much less intense it was and how simplified compared to 2.

No, the original AoE. But AoE 2 was great too.

OH! Then I get it.

Stuff on Wine rarely runs as well, it's the native stuff that really works.

@pay56 said in How to Play Wii Games on Ubuntu Linux with Dolphin:

Can I play Wii games and Gamecube games if I install the Dolphin Emulator? Did someone try this with this emulator to play games from these 2 console games? I have found the games that I want to play and now I'm confused is this emulator will support them, I'm new at this so any new advice would be nice.

It's specific purpose is Wii games, so yes, that's the idea. And GC as well.

How was wasting all of that time cheaper than a keyboard?

Apparently a popular item now, already out of stock 🙂

No surprise there. It's just the NVidia Shield in a different box. Nice for what it is, but really underpowered.

It's rather odd that we have such a low standard on consoles vs other hardware. Tablets are obsolete at 6 months old, but console are still relevant at 6 years old.

From the impressions I got, the Switch is mostly tablet anyhow...

It's built from the guts of one, literally.
