I don't get it,whats the use of talking about the atari2600 in a hackers convention.
Intellectual challenges are one of the primary core motivations of hackers. The Atari 2600 is notoriously hard to program for because it is so limited in capability that it requires superior low-level coding skills to get it to do anything interesting. The challenge is what attracts them.

However, I'm sure good old-fashioned gaming nostalgia is also an element that interests them. Hackers are gamers too, you know. :)

What is the point of the "Ongoing discussion" link?
It just points to the current thread we're in at the moment.

Anyway... How long is that convention supposed to last?

Is that one about the HP bruners you can get to burn? XD

Most talks I liked were in german, so that won't be anything for you guys. Kinda sad that this year there was no console hacking. That is a first since many years ago.

  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    truth be told, i agree with psi, i dislike both candidates, but i'd probably vote trump simply because the economy was better during his presidency

  • AngryCinnabon @ AngryCinnabon:
    Just be careful, if trump ends up winning and using project 2025 America might really change...for the worse.
  • AngryCinnabon @ AngryCinnabon:
    I'm not american and even that sends shivers down my spine.
  • AngryCinnabon @ AngryCinnabon:
    anything that offers trump an opportunity to become an actual dictator
    is bad in my book, i could care less if it wasn't for that...

    people are so dramatic that I can't even tell if they are being serious
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Why so serious!
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    @BakerMan, yeah that's about the only reason I would vote for Trump over Biden.

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    In my opinion on all other factors they are pretty much the same.

    @Veho, didn't need any news. Just going to the store and buying groceries is a constant reminder.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    A reminder that all corporations reported record profits these last few years?
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Reminded that every single price gouging law was blocked by republicans because "muh gubmint overreach"?
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Won't somebody please think of the corporations?!?!
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    The problem with X party blocked X bill that would have prevented X is that yes the bill probably would have worked great, buuuttt they put XYZDCBG in said bill as an attempt to sneak things in that tend to be completely unrelated to the original bills intent. It sucks because if they would just do a single thing they could probably get something done...
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    But congressman X needs to have government funding for his cousins unicycle business
