What are the odds he even pays out?

If they do, are they competitive? Or are they doing the same thing. It could also be like car dealerships in certain states, you're not allowed to just open one within x miles of another (though that refers to more of the same brand). Wouldn't surprise me if they can't have dealerships near each other due to backwards legislation.

Exactly why John Deer should not be allowed to do this. Any threat to the food supply should be considered a national security risk.

The real question is what other options do farms have? Let's say their tracker breaks down and repair is no longer an option. How many other manufacturers are making the type of equipment they need? And how expensive would it be to enter that market to compete? To me it seems like John Deer has a monopoly and is exploiting it.

Analogue 3D: FPGA-Based N64 Available For Pre-Order On October 21

Jump

v1605 @lemmy.world 2y ago

Depends but a nice condition N64 with the cables and expansion pak is probably about $100 without a controller. If you plan on connecting it to a modern TV, you need a decent scaler that can do Svideo/composite, so another $60 for the RAD2X. You even can complicate it more by throwing in cheaper RGB mods if you have a compatible system but that adds probably around $60 if you can't do it yourself.

Their price point is very competitive, especially considering its plug and play.

Load Games On Your Mister Via Floppy Disk

It was probably a disk copier. Here is a video that goes over how those work. https://youtu.be/MP9YR4BXrzA?si=VTgIynQI2fjaXjxE

I'm not sure if the SNAC interface could support something like a 34 pin floppy drive without major changes to the cores themselves.

Now the rotary phone idea...

Yes because it is actually reading the disk. I even move the tracks a little between reads so it makes some more noise.

It's a FPGA, open source, emulation device that can play tons of different retro consoles, computers, and arcade machines.

There are various vendors that you can get kits from.

It's an adapter that you can build up yourself so that you can launch games on your Mister/TapTo device via a floppy disc. There are definitely dozens of us that wanted this!

MiSTer FPGA's Next Trick? Launching Games From CD | Time Extension

Jump

v1605 @lemmy.world 2y ago

TapTo goal is to be cross platform (launch games on the PC and the Mister). With this you could launch a steam game via a CD if you wanted for some extra fun on modern systems (plus the PS1 core on mister looks so nice).

I've written some code to interface with a floppy drive because it's just fun to launch games that way.

Preserve Your Games with the Open Source Cartridge Reader

Jump

v1605 @lemmy.world 2y ago

Unfortunately not that much less expensive, each additional slot maybe adds $1-2.5 to the project. The screen, Arduino and pcb are the bulk of the cost.

Yeah if you can do it yourself it's about half that. Save the hero builds an older revision but it's also cheaper.

Duckdns/wireguard/... Which one do you prefer and why?

Jump

v1605 @lemmy.world 2y ago

Wireguard is good if you don't want easy access to notifications or location based automations. Otherwise you need to always make sure the VPN is on.

Lots of good info here I'm not going to repeat, but I think if you're going to open home assistant to the public Internet, you should not use duckdns. It's better to get your own domain and set up a reverse proxy to use https. Or if it's too technical, subscribe to nabu casa and let them handle it for you.

Looks similar to a Sony PVM-8045Q, so a nice portable crt.
