The aftermarket has always done more for Nintendo's handhelds than they themself have. Aftermarket LCDs make the GBC and GBA truly enjoyable gaming handhelds versus the nigh-unusable messes they are out-of-the-box. The Switch is probab

It is perfectly legal to disallow Visa-requiring individuals. I don't believe it is legal to disallow permanent residents as they have the same employment rights as citizens. That being said, they could just omit the line and discrimin

None of the categories really describe common Anglophonic kinship terminology. Eskimo is probably the closest, but flattens/simplifies it quite a bit.

Honestly, it's hardly noticable for people with stereoscopic vision either. It's mostly headache inducing, so people play with it disabled. Thus why the 2DS undercut so many sales for the 3DS.

I...do not understand this mentality in the West. Until we have a clean reliable alternative, Nuclear is the best we have. Do I think it's amazing or perfect? Not at all. But I much prefer it to burning non-renewable and cancerous petr

> He is wrong; UEFI does specify FAT (section 13.3). He literally addresses that. Saying that the one thing the Spec does is require that, at the very least, you can boot from FAT32. When he says the spec doesn't require FAT32, he m

You can post as large a wall of text as you like, your point is inaccurate regardless.

They're referencing the common "toxic masculinity" talking points. I, personally, have always seen that more as displacing/blaming versus addressing legitimate issues. A common example would be the topic of male suicide,

I didn't say it wasn't theoretically possible, I said there are no (that I know of) concrete implementations of this idea. Yes, this is theoretically possible. I imagine it wasn't done due to processing limitations during the

No, the Bézier inaccuracy has nothing to do with rasterization. Did you even read the article? They're saying that your arc for your circle will be incorrect before it's ever put into a concrete implementation. In other words, t

The article is arguing mathematical inaccuracy, you're arguing the limitations of compressing an infinite abstract concept on a finite field. You're not wrong, but it's like someone showing proof that a person can't fly

I could be completely incorrect here; but I don't know of a vector display that can do anything but arbitrary lines. Circles are usually rendered with sublinears to the command resolution (and trace runs) you're willing to sacrifi

Sorry, I said "a VM" when I should have said "VirtualBox". VBox just has a suboptimal VESA implementation. And I overloaded non-accelerated into that for simplicity's sake. Qemu shows that VESA/SVGA drivers can

I'm not being "generous". If anything, I just think you're using an overly ambitious definition of "supported". Oracle isn't going to guarantee your Windows 7 install works or help you debug issues. And ru

Where did you get that idea? Windows 98 is still a default template in VirtualBox 7.0 and fully supported: https://youtu.be/yxJDK5xmTFQ?si=5yJScYparrURTAWH And here: https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Gues

WSL2 supplanted WSL. It's a different (but similar) technology with the same (albeit, confusing) name, not a version bump. This release refers to WSL2 version 2.0.

The android version of Katana looks and functions a bit better. I don't know if the devs are just less informed or just care less for iOS but, having made the switch recently, it's a pretty drastic difference.

If you want to muddy the waters for contrarianism, go for it. This is clearly not what the OP was asking about.
