Ok, thanks. Considering no one here can identify the part and I don’t have the skills to work out exactly what it does, I’ll have to fork out the money. I suspect you are right and it’s just an off the shelf part with a custom code on it to trip up DIYers.

I know enough to know they’re making a fat profit off that module though.

hey mate, I’ve updated the imgur link with more, better quality photos. it might not have been the bug but it sure did short as you can see from the images

hey mate, I’ve added changed the link to the album. those two both have the HVS004 code on them which you can see in one of the new images

Eventually it will end at Chinas border.

Yes comrades, that is 100% correct. Assuming you also accept chinas definition of where its territory ends.

I don’t know who needs to hear this but you can jork it in the main room on the big tv. Even if your 30. You have free will. Nobody can stop you.

If you guessed the FBI, you were wrong. The answer is none of them!

“What are you going to do? Bulldozer us?”

Promoting Dopamine abuse is an interesting take here in 2025.

How many hours per day would you recommend people use their phone while trying to half watch the TV, based off your “moderation makes everything ok” doctrine?

I can see you are confused, I never said “things that feel good are bad for us”.

I said something feeling good is not an indication that it is good for you; addressing the girl in the post who was confused as to why being on her phone and watching the TV is considered bad even though she enjoys it.

It is odd that figments of my imagination would come on here to discuss the topic.

Sure but the reason we should do those things is not because it feels good.

We have sex to make babies, we socialise so other members of the tribe will look out for us, we exercise so we can outrun a lion or perhaps attract a mate.

Your body makes them feel good so you will do them.

Laying in bed all day can feel good, substance abuse can feel good, exercising power over others can feel good, eating “bad foods” can feel good.

Has “it feels good” ever been a accurate way to measure how good something is for you?

If so pass the fent

I’m aware, but that’s not what this article is about.

Well I’m not your boyfriend but I’d enjoy the act of sharing my knowledge and exploring distros with my partner much more than her telling me she went online to talk to a bunch of strangers about something I have an interest/knowledge of.

Also be aware that if this is your first time installing a new os you should assume you will lose all the files on your computer in the process, back up what you care about.

I feel like they really glossed over the “how” part, other than saying it was delivered over “television cable”.

I have to assume they just broadcast the file on repeat in some sort of code and the Sega could then interpret that and save it as a game file.

But then they mentioned they experimented with a Web browser?

If you have a job or are student you’ll know that using Linux usually results in a direct increase in corporate tech support battles.

If your doing this for him then why not just ask him to help you choose a distro and show you how it works?

I wouldn’t be surprised that a country in a literal fight to the death against what should be the third super power is a slightly better breeding ground for innovation and hard work than Raytheon/LockheedMartin deciding what incremental improvement they can drip feed the pentagon to min/max their effort to profit ratio.

People got tired of having to stab bosses so we invented labour unions
