Comment by 'matpower' in 'I'm finally getting a Google Pixel after all these years'
Modern lithium batteries have good resistance to charging over night in general, specially with fancy controllers and software tricks like disabling fast charging over night or dropping the power down as it fills up- matpower

Comment by 'matpower' in 'I'm finally getting a Google Pixel after all these years'
Pixel is the only way for decent AOSP-like on schedule. Alternatives either have glitches or stupid delays (Android One/Nokia/Xiaomi) or limited software updates (Motorola). I hope to get my hands on one when I visit Europe next year, because it is just plain expensive here since it is an...- matpower

Comment by 'matpower' in 'Why are cats addicted to Sennheiser?'
My cat used to eat my DS chargers. My phat's charger was duck tapped to hell until it suffered an untimely death thanks to the bitten parts. Maybe you can get them something to chew besides cables?- matpower

Comment by 'matpower' in 'I'm getting a Chromebook. Any tips?'
If you do want a Chromebook (because it is as easy to manage as a browser), an ARM one will likely have the best battery life (but it won't do Wine/proprietary Linux software), but you can get an x86 for the usual compatibility. Check out this list for some solid recommendations. Linux support...- matpower

Comment by 'matpower' in 'The story of my dad, three Wii's, THE FISHING, and an unexpected hero'
People making fun of the greatest Wii of all times smh. No joke, it has one of the best first party libraries, decent third party ports and it runs everything™ made by Nintendo (except for the 3DS and the Switch), most of SEGA's consoles and PS1/PSP, nifty homebrew and the Off-TV feature is...- matpower

Comment by 'matpower' in 'A year later...recovery, depression, and gratitude'
I can't believe this whole thing was a year ago, it still feels fresh on my mind. I am glad you were able to recover and get in your feet quick, and I hope you never have to deal with another natural disaster ever again. And somehow, I think this was the saddest thing you wrote: "Raindrops make...- matpower

Comment by 'matpower' in 'Impulse Buying and Me'
So far, most of my impulse buys are with food, I always end up overspending on snacks. Wasted 7 bucks on three snacks and some soda and 5 bucks on 5 likely-stolen quality chocolate bars and I am almost spending 100 bucks on 3 pizzas today, but I am struggling to not do that so I can buy some...- matpower

Comment by 'matpower' in 'Quick thoughts on the RetroGame RS-97'
It feels comfortable to hold, it is weights around the same as the GBA, and slightly more heavy than a DS Lite. I am used to carrying heavy devices on my phone (DSi XL and 3DS XL anyone?), so it is a breath of fresh air. The screen is pretty good, even the lowest brightness setting is visible...- matpower

Quick thoughts on the RetroGame RS-97
Another technology related piece, but this time, it is gaming related! Recently, I bought a RetroGame RS-97 for 50 bucks, usually those Chinese handhelds are pure trash *cough* BittBoy *cough*, but this one got a small community going and improving it, and it was really cheap! I couldn't refuse...- matpower

Comment by 'matpower' in 'My dad made a "Face Book" to find "nice people"'
I can't believe you let your dad use a botnet ;O; Joke aside, make sure to keep adblock on and maybe install one of those site filters so he doesn't end up going somewhere else by mistake.- matpower

Comment by 'matpower' in 'Nokia's back, baby!'
AFAIK the only thing they have to release is the kernel sources, since it is GPLv2. Bootloader is often closed source magic that relies on stuff like ARM TrustZone.- matpower

Comment by 'matpower' in 'Nokia's back, baby!'
Because they will stop updating it some day, furthermore, I might need some feature that needs root (which requires an unlockable bootloader in most cases) or some setup that requires a custom ROM (No GApps, Privacy Guard, themeing, etc.)- matpower

I think the Mister is cool and all, but honestly I have seen some video's exploring the difference between hardware and software emulation and the advantages of both.... I would pick software over FPGA, wouldn't mind some sort of hybrid approach but I can only imagine how complex that would be and how expensive. -
