If you try to attach your Star Trek: The Next Generation: Echoes from the Past cartridge you will just get an error message.
I’m sure Paramount has already tried this several times to no avail.

beefcat@beehaw.orgto Technology@beehaw.org•I used an original iPod in 2024, and it was pretty fun1·1 year agoYou don’t need iTunes to manage an iPod. There are tons of alternative apps, as well as plugins for music players like foobar2000 and Winamp.
iPods are still great. You can even replace their hard drives with modern flash storage and they work. It’s actually really impressive, i built a 256GB iPod Mini and iTunes has no problem with it. For the Mini, any compact flash card works as a drop-in replacement for the hard drive. Other models require a cheap adapter.

beefcat@beehaw.orgto Technology@beehaw.org•Net neutrality is back as FCC votes to regulate internet providers1·1 year agoA website isn’t a common carrier, you cannot argue that a website isn’t allowed to control who they serve their content to. An ISP is a common carrier because they simply act as a dumb pipe between the provider (websites) and the consumer.
Cloudflare is a tool websites use to exercise that right, necessitated by the ever rising prevalence of bots and DDoS attacks. Your proposed definition of net neutrality would destroy anyone’s ability to deal with these threats.
Can you at least provide examples of legitimate users who are hindered by the use of Cloudflare?

The show is great, and these people are just fishing for nonsense to feed their persecution complex.

beefcat@beehaw.orgto Gaming@beehaw.org•What are some games you find yourself frequently coming back to?3·1 year agoMy problem is that i can’t seem to get a hang of the combat, at all. Taking down even some medium sized dinobots feels like a slog, 20 minutes of me breaking line of sight, taking a pot shot at its weak point, and somehow missing, rinse and repeat. I feel the game either didn’t do a good job teaching me how to deal with them, or I’m just playing it wrong and don’t know better.
I’ve started the game three times and each time I get about 6 hours in before I get bored.
