2 days agoInteresting, we are already at the point where $200 android handhelds can run the heaviest emulators and games designed for Android, I’m curious what their spin will be because more power is a waste at this point.
I like making music on handheld trackers like LSDJ and Piggy Tracker. I’m into retro gaming, TF2, Linux, FOSS, photography, and motorsports. I primarily follow F1, NASCAR, and Formula E.

4·4 days agoCuba might be a good place to look for a real world example of this. They had the concepts of “SNET” and “el paquete semanal” that were solutions to poor internet penetration, expensive internet costs (pay per MB), and heavy restrictions on that internet.
El paquete semanal is a weekly payload of the latest movies, TV episodes, manga, comics, etc. that gets brought into the country and spread by sneakernet.
SNET is widespread guerilla LAN networking to the point where Cuba had a well populated private WoW server. Also solved some of the Internet cost issues because you could game and share content locally without paying for every little MB.
As of 2020, SNET is now “illegal” and those existing networks are being absorbed into their ISP.
I mean, I care, but what can I do about it? There isn’t a CEO I can shoot to make it stop, nor can I make voting day get here any sooner. All I can do is stamp out ignorance when I see it.
Oh yea there are already. I was alluding the the Retroid Pocket 5 for $200. It runs basically all of GC and PS2 and a lot of switch and winlator.
