Another important facet to that scam that isn’t been discussed too much: https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1809859768388854139.html
I think you misunderstand that I’m talking exclusively about electoralism. It can be a useful tool, but it’s largely a scam.
I fully understand your concerns. But this is the reality and I know it sucks.
Can you please not just roll over and die. I’m begging for you to put up an ounce of resistance now before you need to put up a gallon later.
“THERE IS NO THIRD OPTION” because you accept the options that you are given and try to convince others that they are acceptable options. They are not, stop deluding yourself.
People are “just going to fold over” because you keep telling them to! Stop doing the fascist’s work, there are always other options but the fewer people who understand that means that more force per person is required to apply the needed pressure to make those options a reality.
You’re arguing from the premise that fascism is the only option and anything else is “fantasy”. Is that what you really believe?
I was promised riots and unrest when Roe V Wade was overturned and there was crickets instead. What are you going to do in November after the democrats get Trump elected? Do before to prevent that current inevitability?
What would you rather have?
A non-fascist option. Abortion access, housing, not the world’s highest incarceration rate (which Jim Crow Joe is directly, but not solely, responsible for.) etc.
You’re arguing from a false premise.
You mean far-right groups like Israeli officials = Zionists = genocidal terrorists?
3.53V on input, 2.61V on the output.
There’s your problem! The BLE chip isn’t getting enough voltage, likely because you’re overloading the port with that device requiring more current than the NES port can supply…
I don’t know enough about the NES to walk you through how to mod it to increase the available current, and I’m unfortunately not seeing any immediately available guides on the problem your facing but your two options would be to see if there’s some current limiting inside the NES for those ports (and risk full device brownouts, overloading, damage to power further upstream) or isolate the existing power rail and essentially replace it with the USB power adapter… Or just use the external power adapter…
From what I got, the SNES, N64 & GameCube controller ports are outputing 3.3V directly, not 5V.
Doing a quick google, this excerpt about the GameCube is enlightening:
There are two power rails on the connector, a 3.43V supply that is probably used for the logic, and a 5V supply that appears to be used to power the rumble motor (and perhaps logic also).
I’m willing to bet the 5V for the rumble is what is being used to power that module as it had significantly higher current capacity and would explain why it works on that device but not the NES.
Given that the Blueretro is taking 3.3V apparently, is it possible to step down from 4.6V to 3.3V instead? Is it wiser than stepping up?
That’s what the AMS1117 you identified does! One of the pins on that IC will be the 4.6V input, one will be the 3.3V output. Looking at the datasheet it has a dropout (minimum vin-vout) of 1.3V meaning that voltage regulator doesn’t have much margin…
Power issues/brownouts do seem like a possible explanation. Great job at tracking the issue down as far you did, but I think it’s a bit to early to jump to the conclusion that that is definitely the issue.
What’s is the voltage you measure on the AMS1117?
Does the voltage you measure change when you connect via Bluetooth?
Do your measurements change when USB powered?
Does the 4.6V output from the controller drop when you connect over Bluetooth?
Are you measuring the ports when something is connected or when the ports are open?
Does your blueretro work on the ports of the other NES devices?
My hunch is the ports don’t output enough current for reliable Bluetooth which isn’t going to be fixed without some NES surgery… You might be better off just using the USB power.
The first of several coronavirus mass outbreaks (CMEs), described as plasma and magnetic field discharges from the sun, was later raised by the NOAA to be an “extreme” geomagnetic storm.
Lmao, talk about shitty journalism. You should probably look at getting better sources…
More abstractly what you’re doing with the resistor is creating a very crude linear regulator, which is fine for most applications and if you’re careful about keeping your source voltage close-ish to the forward voltage of the LED this method can be fairly efficient.
Using an active constant current supply (as an example or many dedicated LED driver ICs do something very similar) can be marginally better as it allows you to reduce the waste from the linear regulator.
However, if efficiency is what you really care about you’ll need to go with a switching regulator. Here’s an app note going over the basics of that approach. and again you can usually find dedicated ICs for that approach.
Overall I’d recommend doing a detailed power budget and really seeing whether it’s worth the cost/trouble of implementing that because while you are correct it is usually more energy efficient it can be significantly less labor/material/maintenance/longevity efficient (hence the prevalence of the humble resistor…)
The numbers presented are funny.
Global carbon dioxide emissions hit an all-time high of 36 billion metric tons last year.
Discussing Occidental’s plants:
Powered by solar energy, and have the potential to capture and sequester 500,000 metric tons (0.0000005 billion metric tons) of carbon dioxide per year.
Which then they say they plan on building more of said plants:
Occidental said it planned to build 100 facilities, each capable of capturing 1 million metric tons of carbon dioxide a year
The annual amount captured magically doubles bringing it up to 0.000001 billion metric tons per plant and 0.0001 billion metric tons total annually.
It really seems like we should listen to the Vicki Hollub, Occidental’s chief executive, when they state the real purpose of direct air capture which could:
“preserve our industry. This gives our industry a license to continue to operate for the 60, 70, 80 years that I think it’s going to be very much needed.”
This is ignoring their main usage of that 0.0001 billion metric tons is for oil extraction thus increasing the 36 billion metric tons.
In other words shame on the NYT for burying the lead and being deceptive with their numbers.
(@facedeer, I’d be curious to get your take on this article)
Less than you would expect, this looks like it’s a good, balanced synopsis if you’re interested however you’re not wrong about it being a problem, and pointing out the PR/gaslighting that surrounds the issue.
Also it’s worth noting that SpaceX is using LOX-Kerosone because it’s “cheaper” than options which pollute much less (namely LH2-LOX) because the cost of the kerosene is “externalized” and you are correct that something like appropriate taxing could start to fix that issue and force them to make better decisions…

From an article about a recent lawsuit
The App Store appeared to harvest information about every single thing you did in real time, including what you tapped on, which apps you search for, what ads you saw, and how long you looked at a given app and how you found it. The app sent details about you and your device as well, including ID numbers, what kind of phone you’re using, your screen resolution, your keyboard languages, how you’re connected to the internet—notably, the kind of information commonly used for device fingerprinting.
Notably, knowing keyboard language and monitoring tap locations allows for reconstruction of text the user types (as detailed in this article
I do think you are correct that Apple probably isn’t actively keylogging every iOS device (just because there’s easier ways with less legal concerns that ultimately get the same outcomes), but it’s not like there’s “no evidence”.
Ah yes, don’t be realistic the solution is “thoughts and prayers”.
Or you could get mad about it and go do something to improve the world…
Exactly, hence the root of the problem the original meme is getting at…
For healthy working relationships and solid infrastructure you under-promise and over-deliver.
For maximal profit and sustainable business models you over-promise and under-deliver.
Another factor was the PPP and other “totally not bailouts” that were part of the COVID relief spending.
Of the roughly $800 billion dollars from PPP which was provided as uncollateralized, low-interest loans 66-77% went directly to companies and ~92% of those loans were completely forgiven.. In other words an ~5-600M bailout predicated on keeping positions open long enough to maintain plausible deniability that is what the goal was.
Do you want to share those “eyebrow raising” numbers?
Best summary I can find stating the elections were “rigged” is the report from the Carter center which uses almost entirely qualitative data or hearsay arguments to support the claim and conveniently forgets to mention any of the surrounding context around US interventionism.
In contrast the argument for fair and open elections is well summarized in the report from the NLG delegation’s report which does a good job of providing quantitative data as well as useful context to support the conclusion it was fair.
Can you provide those quantitave arguments from these “third party left-wing governments”? Because I am having a hard time finding any of them…
