If you do the Gameboy player. Get a flippy drive and you can use homebrew for it.

I stopped liking with PlayStation after E3 2013. Back then they took a free service PlayStation Network and charged people monthly for the privilege. Let alone how they mishandled the PS Vita and blamed their failure on Cellphone gaming.

I eventually got a PS4 in 2020 @ $200CAD to close out some series which started on PS3. But I never felt the need or want to get anything newer.

Procreate on iPad. Cheap and the best art studio you can ever buy

Printables has paid models now if you want to support a designer. I remember being recommended MyMiniFactory for more premium print a while ago.

With that said, I think it depends on what you are looking for and what you are trying to make. I see a lot of comments recommending Blender and FreeCAD. So I wanted to give you alternatives.

With that said, Blender is for 3D Modeling (think molding with Clay), where as FreeCAD is more like blueprints. Both have a high learning curve, and Blender has a large community to help new users. FreeCAD is getting there, but has a steep learning Curve. TinkerCAD and Fusion from Autodesk may get some hate here (for many good reason), but are the easiest softwares to get into if you want to make mechanical design.

I grew up with cassettes. Type II was a rarity and not what you’d buy from the store. Those were type I tapes.

Plus the whole format was a compromise. CDs almost whipped them out, but when digital came both were gone in a flash.

I think the only benefit of cassette today is making mix tapes, but on a retail and purchasable music standpoint. They weren’t good.

This is a lot. Buggier than I’d thought it’d be.

Tried to change the background color and it crashes the settings app. Search works for exact spelling only and not context or meta data. Search for image and music and you’ll get nothing.

However there is a lot of potential and it’s what I’d install on a MacBook as an alternative. Maybe next release would be good.

I see you too have a waste of retail space known as Best Buy/Best Buy Mobile in your community.

In the 30's and 40's resistances were everywhere and weren't always visible. Spreading the news or setting up infrastructure for resistance movements were just as viable as boots on the ground and protests.

Depends the part, depends on the quality.

3D printing is great for small scale manufacturing and is production ready. But the QC needs to be top notch. Plus not everyone has or can use a 3d printer.

That said, if you sell 3d prints it needs to be disclosed, and you need to offer a decent warranty.

I make 3d printed e-reader cases. I designed it to be repairable and these parts have a very long warranty for the 3d printed parts since I know they won’t be as durable as injection molded.

You can I just wish it was accessible on the GUI.

Many reasons. Many of which is down to how Google as a company is reaching between the proverbial couch cushions to get at the loose change to make a profit. Default opt-in tracking, breaking ad-blockers, and probably more which I forgot about since I abandoned Chrome years ago.

Yes the AUR is the best feature of Arch, which is why I am still using an Arch distro and not Fedora or Debain.

However one of Manjaro's features which other Linux distros don't have, is how much of the OS's troubleshooting and repair is in GUIs. For the most part I can setup a fresh Manjaro install without touching the command line once. And that's how I want to use my machines, I want to just browse the web, play games, or do office tasks (the reason I use a computer), not trying to figure out how to install a GUI package manager from the AUR in EndeavourOS since it doesn't come with one.
