To offer a counterpoint, I agree I like the honestly, but I will ask (I genuinely don't know): what does Tesla do about it? So say I buy a Tesla, and I have some sort of manufacturing issue. Can I go to a Tesla service station to have

This reminds me of something that happened to my brother's Tesla the last time I saw him. He purchased a new Tesla about a year ago. He normally lives in an area where winter temps are at a low of 40 F (~5 C). He came to visit, an I li

I assume you mean for the SNES. I grew up playing Super Mario World, and while I would argue to be able to 100% it requires this knowledge (IIRC that's how they encouraged you to subscribe to Nintendo Power), but just going to beat the

EDIT: So I stumbled a bit across this too: https://pidgin.im/development/faq/ I can say first hand that the info in "How can I create a conversation with someone?" is flat out incorrect. Look here: http

That's been my experience with developing with libpurple unfortunately. The APIs are very inflexible for advanced chat features, and theres little documentation for making your own plugin.

That's really sad to hear. I have been working mainly with the Chatty devs, and they have been great to work with so far. Maybe the v3 API is better, but tbh the v2 API feels very much like it was designed for the AIM/MSN days. No

Maybe I should buy one again. I sold that one (I think I made money on it too...) When I got a smart phone because I could do everything that the PSP could do on a smartphone. But...I do miss having it.

In a nostolgic way, it reminds me of my Playstation Portable I had. This was before I could afford a smart phone, and I was able to run homebrew on it. I actually really miss that. Aside from playing games, I could check email, use a web br

Sorry, that was what was in my mind when I wrote that, you are correct on that! You want to use the 5e monster manual, not the original stats.

Donations are kind of a funny thing IMO. Some folks who develop for open source are not motivated by money, and may not even want it. I personally have been developing MMS to get it on the pinephone, and I don't think I would want anyo

As just a straight 1:1 translation to 5e, it isn't really hard. The monsters are roughly the same, so it isn't hard to run an AD&D adventure on 5e. I would argue a "novice" DM could read through an AD&D adventure

I hate to say it, but if you have a phone that you can flash, I sincerely encourage you to do just that. Why? Because even with "Google" phones, installing pure AOSP cripples the phone (and by that mean SMS breaks with LTE, you lo

I am very much a linux guy/tinkerer, and it is very very close to being a main phone. What really hurts me to not do it is lack of MMS (YMMV). (I would say for the average person, it is not there yet). If you bricked it, I would be imp
