So, retro handhelds have been a thing for a good while now. The Retroid Pocket first of the name was released in 2020, and so was the Odroid Go Advance that started what would become an absolute flood of RK3326 powered devices that continues to this day. And the history of retro handhelds goes even further if you look at companies like Game Park that made what could be considered a retro handheld in the form of the GP32 all the way back in 2001.

So, I was wondering: to those who were already in this hobby 5+ years ago, which device(s) did you pick, and what became of it? Are you still using it? Did you sell it and replace it with a newer device? Gave it away to a friend or family member? Di

So, there are tons of games across many platforms out there. As hardware and software progressed, we got the ability to emulate most of those platforms and games, though there are still cases where certain games don't work quite right/crash in emulators, especially with the more modern platforms. This is not the part I'm concerned with, as there are plenty of projects that classify game compatibility at the software level for various emulators.

The part I want to focus on is the actual controls of those games, be it specific games that require a special peripheral to play (think Arkanoid (NES)'s knob controller, or Wii Fit requiring a Wii Balance Board to play), or entire platforms that fea

Something I remember from a book focusing on the periodic table is the fact that rare-earth elements are extremely similar to each other (at least chemically) in a way the other categories of elements in the periodic table aren't. Is there an intuitive reason as to why the elements in this specific group are so alike?

Hello.

As stated in the title, we have credible evidence that r/place, the pixel art canvas you might remember from April 1st 2022 and 2017, will come back on the 23rd of June 2023, which is Reddit's 18th birthday. If you want to check, someone has been managing a Discord server where they compiled the evidence we have so far: https://discord.gg/E9YBhFZ9

It also happens to be about a week before the API changes that killed RiF and many other third party apps go into effect. Concerningly, the timing of r/place coming back a mere week before the API changes go into effect might drown out the protest. What if we changed that?

Before the API changes came to light, I was preparing alongside

This is a follow up to my previous thread here. If you haven't seen it yet, I recommend reading it before continuing.

TL;DR: r/place is (maybe) coming back on the 23rd of June, which is about a week before the API changes are supposed to go into effect, with the risk of drowning out the complaints at the worst possible time. So, we take it to r/place itself so we're not ignored.

As the idea to bring the protest to the canvas sparked some interest, I've decided to take the next step and creating a Discord server where we'll be organizing for the return of r/place. As the prot

Yup, you're reading this right. There is credible evidence r/place, the event where users could place pixels on a canvas at a rate of one per 5 minutes per account, is coming back on the 23rd of June, Reddit 18th birthday. The following Discord server has the information that has been collected so far if you wish to check for yourself, but here's a quick rundown of the evidence:

• On March 24th, a leak claiming to come from the Mod Council was posted to r/Antidigitalisten showed a mockup for an r/place feature allowed subreddits to highlight their position on the canvas. On the 27th, the same user posted the mockup on r/schwiiz (which they moderate) alon

Let's say I have built and activated a device that irrecoverably disabled the Sun's ability to emit light. Given that this would eventually doom most if not all life on Earth to extinction, I would have probably committed a laundry list of crimes, but which ones exactly, and does this change meaningfully depending on the jurisdiction? If this matters, I live in France.
