An official GameCube that plays CDs and DVDs

Reply in thread

Honestly, a Wii is kinda the ultimate gamecube for the average person, as that has 100% backwards compatibility, are dirt cheap, have widely available composite cables that are 20x cheaper than the rare gamecube ones, gives you access to the Wii library, and also the ability to easily softmod them to then access the high seas and emulation of 16-bit and 8-bit consoles.

Does there exist a STEAMpunk genre? It would be cool.

The closest to that would be hard sci-fi, where many authors were in STEM fields and used that background in their writings, or wrote stories based around their real life STEM field (this is often the case in Analog Magazine).

Some were punk in the solarpunk/cyberpunk sense, as they were often anti-authoritarian, and sometimes even anticapitalist.

As an example, The Dispossessed by Ursula Le Guin was about a mathematician who lives on a planet with a mostly Anarchist society (it's a great read).

Anyone tryed this Henson shaving?

I have one, I think it lives up to its claims and is worth the price. It is the only safety razor I've used that has comparable irritation and ease of use to a disposable razor. It's particularly good for sensitive skin, and I'm significantly less likely to accidentally cut myself with it than my normal safety razor.

Same! Lately I've been going back to 90's titles to see what I missed out on and trying new genres, which has been unexpectedly rewarding, found quite a few gems that really stood the test of time.

I just use cheap shark brand blades with it, as feathers in any safety razor seem to make it more prone to cut myself, they're too sharp for my skin.

The Henson with cheap blades feels extremely close to a disposable, and it can be used in the same way with minimal thought, unlike a normal safety razor where you have to be careful with angle and pressure to avoid irritation or cuts.

A mass 'de-flock' campaign is planned for Halloween, allowing masked people who may wish to remove flock cameras to blend in with the crowd.

Flock has been proven to lie repeatedly already. The cameras are being used by police officer to stalk their ex's (plus over 100 other cases of cops abusing it), as well as used for thin justification to detain and illegally search people. They are also being used to track women getting abortions out of state, as well as activists.

Benn Jordan also exposed that Flock cameras have virtually no security, allowing anyone to log into a camera via wifi and alter footage/evidence, download what its recorded, etc. They also proved that Flock cameras will track individual people walking around, such as in parks where some are installed.

They are unlikely to have any effect on people driving less, and instead are being used to further the goals of the fascist state.

Your best Leftfield YT_Chanel recomendations

The Quiet Part does cool stuff on solarpunk and other topics.

Andrewism and Anark do good leftist political videos.

Unlearning Economics does leftist economic content.

Black flag Civilian and InRangeTV are good leftist channels that do gun content as well as a variety of other topics. There's also Tacticool Girlfriend, but that's moreso just gun content.

Comcast is turning millions of its routers into motion detectors

Good time to point out that it's very much worth converting you existing router (if you own it, and are not renting it) to Openwrt, an excellent open-source Linux based firmware replacement (just make sure your model is supported).

Doing so will drastically improve your network security by not running vulnerable or outdated firmware, as well as potentially removing hidden backdoors which may come with your router from the factory,
