Hello,
I joined a bit late to the party, I just bought my first PSVita to replace my switch as Moonlight device.
I have a DIY cloud server at home and I am using it together with my switch to play, but despite the design I think the switch is too bothering to carry around. When I found that moonlight exists for the vita, I got one from Japan for 50€ and modded it.

The Vita's network performances are abysmal, the 3G network was killed in my country and the WiFi is very slow despite my 500mbps connection.

I've seen many posts from people asking if a 4G module can be crafted or if a new WiFi chip soldered, but general consensus is lack of software drivers.

Would it be possible to use a usb2to ethernet (and later maybe a phone with USB therhering) act as main internet? USB2 should be good for up to theoretical 420mbps, but anything above 12mbps is perfect for moonlight

Well, there's a plugin called vita-usb-ether and it allows you to have Ethernet through USB on retail Vitas but you need to make a dongle with specific hardware for it to work. Don't really know about the speed compared to Wi-Fi though... Here's a video of the dongle and plugin in action.

    i thought everybody knew cocktails are like 75% ice
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah but not like this.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so..... yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    we're used to only having a thimbleful of booze
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Booo.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    same thing if you want whisky on the rocks or something, you can't get a double
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's dumb
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Maybe.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need
