Family Computer System ?
Click to expand...

Fun fact: Nintendo branded their console as an 'Entertainment System' in the west and 'Family Computer' in Japan because there was a negative stigma associated with game consoles following the video game market crash of 1983 which was just a few years after the video game market crash of 1977.

More fun facts: though the Japanese version is more widely known as the 'Famicom', Nintendo always referred to it as 'Family Computer' because Sharp owned the trademark for Famicon, which was for a convection oven. Even after Sharp handed over the trademark to Nintendo in 1985, Nintendo continued to use 'Family Computer' until it was discontinued/retired.

Can you tell that my gaming years peaked back when consoles were 8 bit? That litte dinky blob-on-a-pcb clone of the NES makes me indescribably happy.

Replacing 3 year old M720 with another of the same.
Bought the same one again, mainly because - fast switching between devices and few programmable keys which became muscle memory now.

(amazon, 3750inr)

Samsung Dex (Desktop Enviroment) on the Note 10+ that I purchased from @Beep! The phone is sitting on a new-in-box Dex Pad that was purchased from https://sohamretails.com/ and paired with a Asus Transformer Keyboard/Trackpad dock that I modded to remove the dock connector and soldered in a USB cable.

I originally intended on replacing the display of this phone at a later date but this setup works so well (and is technically inline with the 'no computers in the bedroom' rule I have) that instead I'll keep it for light computing and monitoring.

A friend gave this away last year and was lucky to get it. I need to get a power brick and some cartridges for it next

It's a clone but really well done one. I've seen many cheap mass produced clones of the NES and NES Classic, this one in particular evokes such a huge wave of nostalgia. You can tell that the designers of the enclosure, packaging were actual gamers/fans of the original NES.

That is in such pristine condition! I found a Samurai here on OLX in very rough condition right before the pandemic but sold it to a collector in France.

It's 200mbps plan that I'm seeing on my Airtel app. Is Airtel really this generous?
Also when I asked them to put the modem in bridge mode they said static IP is a must.

Before getting a static IP, I was seeing speeds up to 200-250mb/s. Got the static IP in the noon, so far seeing nearly gigabit speeds.
