street value of USD 608 per candy
Good luck getting the real thing. I could buy some normal candy and a roll of food-safe paper, and sell it for hundreds of dollars. Or add cyanide too, just to ensure the customer won’t complain when it doesn’t get them high.
They might be tricking the GBA into thinking it’s a GB cartridge (it has a built-in GBC “emulator”). I found different ways this could work online: perhaps by adding extra plastic to actuate a switch (that switches between 5 V (GBC) and 3.3 V (GBA) power to the cartridge); alternatively, the ROM chip is made to withstand both voltages and the system selection is done by a 0 in the top bit of the cartridge’s “B” register.
Order? Order real GBC cartridges.
Doesn’t bark at everyone, either!
If they can’t respect a recipient’s consent, they deserve it being a little harder to deliver to people using that mail server.
I know but human skulls have foreheads.
The official logo is realistic and it still works as a Jolly Roger. Even better, arguably.
How did they fail at drawing a casette… in the age of casettes?
Me who chose the AMD Ryzen version of a laptop last year instead of Intel Raptor Lake because it was $10 cheaper:
I think the product line is older than that
They are already kinda doing this. The QR code resolves to http://www.windows.com/stopcode, which has a Microsoft 365 ad (who would have guessed?)
Edit: the pic I scanned was old, they have since changed it to “https” to close a trivial MITM attack vector for tech support scam websites.
Good. Biologists had always been conservative about giving another name to an already-described species, to the point where they have seriously suggested the Megalosaurus to be called Scrotum humanum because it was the first known dinosaur bone uncovered and the discoverer’s major remark was that it looked somewhat like testicles, leading to him suggesting the Latin name.
Despite that, naming retcons due to taxonomy revisions have happened numerous times so precedent shows it’s feasible.
Read the post body. It’s two sentences.
I rather wouldn’t but some are quite involuntary (pic by me)
Ring -1 proprietary telemetry! Yay!
*Microsoft pushes UEFI-level telemetry as part of the Secure Boot requirements for Windows 12*
we work really hard to make sure users see it as rarely as possible
That’s what Microsoft says but everyone knows people will see a BSOD once in a while. Also, Bing searches that the user gets linked to for errors in various Microsoft software do contain ads too.
It’s a joke, I know that the very existence of a bluescreen literally means that the processor has not hung but it has been detected that proceeding to run userspace code might result in undefined behavior. The hard drive remains in use but this relies on a subsequent successful Windows boot (good luck). In case of bootlooping kiosks, the company’s IT crew will probably just pull useful data off the drive and revert it to the known good installation.
If the BSOD happens on a running PC, networking will probably continue working. With a bootloop, it depends on whether the network stack initialization has progressed far enough before the crash.

As a fellow Linux user, I never look at Windows computers’ screens (or photos thereof) /s
Too bad bluescreened computers likely won’t report back viewership stats
(It’s a joke, I know that the very existence of a bluescreen literally means that the processor has not hung but it has been detected that proceeding to run userspace code might result in undefined behavior; the network stack might remain functional throughout)
I wrote this after they made the decision, as an “order” joke. Personally, I wouldn’t mind playing pirated copies from an SD multicart or a PC emulator but there are people who care about that.
