  1. I have been testing out this app for managing my retro game collections.  Unfortunately, as I use a de-Googled device, I am only able to freely use a single console (Atari 2600.)  It has some short-comings, like no provision for label variations, but otherwise seems pretty good.

    Do you use something like this?  If so, what do you use?

      What's wrong with a classic like RFGen?

      @Rhomaios I dunno... never heard of it, never used it, which is the entire purpose of my question.

  2. Every time I drop off at electronic waste, the number of CRT TVs out there is surprising, but I am absolutely amazed at the one or two projection TVs.

  3. No sympathy for anyone who nuke bridges and themselves in the process.

  4. Support "Right to Repair."

      As someone who uses "retro" or "classic" computer platforms and has been using the same Sony Ericsson phone since 2009, I am fully supportive of my ability, both permissive and practically, to repair my own and others' equipment.  That should not be taken away from us for these ridiculous and nebulous claims, especially by companies under the guise of "protecting their intellectual property."

      @ventrra Yup.  I have seen and used many of those, myself. Rather un-stylish :)  I still have a SparcStation 20 sitting around here, and an IPX.  Funny little machines.

      @ventrra I believe that is a Sun Java Workstation.  They ran the Java Desktop (essentially Gnome) on an Opteron.  Sun could be rather stylish.

      @R.Cade A long time ago I would have said "I wish."  A camgirl from the early 2000s.

  9. I am in a very depressing situation.  I found out my dog has been humping other peoples' legs.

  10. Being "trapped" in the house due to snapped garage door springs is an interesting experience.

      The busted spring can be seen here, but I only noticed afterward. You can see the pulley track shift, hear all the stress on the door track and the opener motor.  The opener automatically tries to open again after closing from a failed open.

      Naw, dog.  The springs are busted.  I cannot get even lift on both sides of the door, and it is heavy AF (as the kids would say)  and the pulley track bows really badly during the pull.  Imma break something.  But, no worries.  Day is over, and the garage guy will be here tomorrow.

  12. Does replacing old Atari 2600 cartridge labels with new, quality reproductions substantially alter any value they have?  Bear in mind I am not banking on my 250-some carts for my retirement, I just want them to look nice.

      Bunch of really thoughtful answers.  Thank you!

      Good answer -- what level of rarity should be the limit?  Does it matter if cartridge-only?
