The best USB controls I found for emulating NES/SNES games for my kids where the cheap Logitech USB controls that were blatant knock-offs of the original PS1 controls. I avoided the "Dual Shock" knock-offs because some emulators insisted on using that analog stick if it was present.
The NES mini and the SNES mini have caught my attention, but dammit - USB would have been nice. I understand the desire to make them Wii compatible, but they could have made the Wii USB compatible had they wanted to. Nintendo has a history of being jerks about ports, the GBA SP, the GBA Micro, the original DS, DS Lite, DSi, and 3DS all charge on 5V DC, but of the ones I mentioned there's 4 different charger connectors.
Sony to their credit put a barrel plug on the PSP, made the PSP 2000 (I don't have the rest for comment) Mini USB chargeable as well. Sony - notorious for lock-in and incompatibility, is really showing a positive side making these controls USB. Shoot, I'll bet you could even use them on the PS3 and PS4 if you wanted.
The real question: Can I plug a Dual Shock 3 / 4 into the Playstation Mini using a USB cord? That would be great if we find you can load other games onto the thing.
Since you obviously follow Donald Trump on Twitter and I don't, you had me at a disadvantage. I had to go find what you were talking about that would have me spitting nails. I found this one about rigged algorithms. This isn't news, I've been using Google+ since it premiered and it's incredibly obvious during each election since it came out. Since we were talking about Obama, media and what Trump said about them, I did find a tweet from a couple of days ago where he mentioned Obama and media in the same tweet. Exactly which one is supposed to have me spitting nails?
You are demonstrating the difference between the rabbid left and the rest of us - and by the rest of us I mean Republicans, Libertarians, Don't Give a Shits, and non-radical Democrats.
I'm giving references and links. - You are not, and putting words into the mouths of others. Just like the press and lawyers attacking Alex Jones but not actually playing clips of him doing what they're accusing him of. I'm using my real handle which is pointless to dox, I'm not hiding. - You on the other hand are A/C wearing a mask and on the attack like those Anti-First Amendment thugs, Antifa
Honestly I hope Pelosi cleans up and wins again, it's good for the entertainment value. It's California, so whoever wins is likely to a communist who cares more about bathroom politics than making the country work right anyways. Pelosi is good for a laugh and is a poster child for the Walk Away movement. I hope she stays out there.
I'm a libertarian and even though I've never joined due to time constraints I've at least attended meetings of the non-partisan foriegn policy alliance that's demanding just that.
I'm all for bringing all of our troops home and keeping them trained by keeping them on border bases and the coast of our own nation.
When Obama first took office there was an outcry from both the left and right about the pressure the Obama administration put on news organizations that caused the purge of many journalist. There were articles everywhere about the purges on people getting fired all over the place to keep the administration happy - then silence - then most of the old articles slowly got purged from the archives. The only remnants of that era that are still in the "public memory" are the Fox News spats.
Unlike the previous administration - and the combined corporate efforts of corporations against their political enemies today - Trump hasn't done anything to stop the press. He just makes fun of the organizations he disagrees with mercilessly. Fox and other right-wing / independent media were straight up barred from the White House during much of the previous administration with other pressures outside of that.
To accuse President Trump of being anti-press when all he's doing is having name calling sessions with the ones he doesn't like and pretending he's the first president to have disagreements with the press is disingenuous at the least. This was even brought up on Slashdot in the past.
This is a combined 1st and 2nd amendment issue - shutting it down is violating both, I don't care what the laws of non-U.S. countries are. It's not our job to enforce the laws of other countries, if they don't want their people getting what's on U.S. servers it's their job to block their users, not ours.
Disney is involved - this really surprises me considering their Apple ties.
Don't forget about "obsessed with using freely accessible public-domain content while lobbying anyone in a political office they can to make sure their stuff never become freely accessible public-domain content".
They've used it in their cocoa and coffee supply. They pretty much act like it "slips into the chain" these days, but when they were first found out they seemed more upset they were caught than anything. The older articles are getting harder to find.
Regular gas engines do better WITHOUT ethanol - I would say it was actually worse for the environment due to decreased efficiency and decreased life-span of other parts in regular gas engines. Also, gas doesn't keep as long with Ethanol. I have a big gas can for my lawn mower, I use it for a couple of months, then dump what's left in my car and go fill it up again. If it were just plain gas I could just keep it until I emptied it through the lawn mower - could take a couple of years.
I recently rented a flex-fuel vehicle, and I ran it with both E15 and E85. That vehicle probably did produce less pollution running E85, enough to justify the decrease in efficiency, but making us run it in our normal gas engines isn't helping anyone but the corn lobby.
Each version of OSX is becoming less pleasant in my book.
I really liked it at first, because I could hit the command line and do whatever I could on a *NIX system. Each version of OSX gets a little further from the BSD it's running on - I have to learn new ways of doing routine things like mount file systems, run programs, etc.... None of it is out of reach, but it's something new each release. I'm getting to where I'm not sure it's worth messing with. I've been using KDE since 1.x, and I'll admit it went through many years of hell between 2.x up to Plasma, but now that it's hit Neon, the KDE interface is incredibly nice. I'm not sure I can really find a good reason to go to OSX outside of a work environment again.
Mild thread-jack here - I understand exactly what you're saying, but I'm going to throw something else out there.
I've been using Free File Sync as a backup/migration tool for quite a while and there's a lot of automating that can be done with it. In fact I mostly used it while sitting at an iMac at my last job and I used it to migrate and backup accounts on both Mac and Windows machines. Believe it or not the file structure was so much the same you could migrate between Mac and Windows using it rather painlessly.
I've also been using Syncthing to keep document directories in sync between my various computers, along with some cron jobs that sync my desktop music/ebook/audiobook/and photo directories up to my server nightly incase I add something on my desktop it's backed up.
It just seems to me like all of the open-source software out there, along with software that can emulate a Time Capsule on the network, that the ODROID-HC2 is just begging to replace Time Capsules from Apple.
Then I gained an admiration for their hardware and software.
Then I became a little disenfranchised over their attempts at lock-in, but still liked their hardware.
I adopted a policy of using non-Apple software on Macs (mostly cross-platform stuff) and using their hardware when available.
The price of their hardware ensured I didn't actually buy it, just used it when given to me or at work. I found PC to be a lot better bang for the buck.
Now I've got plenty of dated Apple hardware running Linux, but I'm not sure I'll even want future old Apple hardware with this crap in mind.
I've actually played with external PCIexpress boxes that connect to Thunderbolt 2 you can put graphics cards in - granted not to this same performance level.
I used to write my own spam filters using rules. One of those rules was if an email had three or more exclamation points in a row it went to trash since only spammers tended to do that.
I've done lots of LAN/SAN fiber, and even some SDI over single-mode, but I've never done telecom fiber. I've always wanted to dig into what's going on with the long-range backbone stuff.
Don't worry, I never had that particular confusion. IPFS and block-chain go hand-in-hand as tools to make information indestructible, we are severely lacking in searchable catalogs of IPFS content. I've found some cool stuff with Hypatia, but it was hit and miss and more miss than hit. Still, I think a block-chain web where we may eventually even stop using DNS is the answer we're all looking for.
Make an effort to become less Googlecentric. Embrace block-chain social media, use a different search engines - preferably that don't reuse Google data, make an effort to embrace IPFS. Eventually, once enough people are off the Google teat having Google de-list you won't be an issue.
It's not really all that great yet - but disruptive search, hosting, and networking is on the way. So far the only thing I've seen trying to stop it is MalwareBytes declaring IPFS gateways hazardous, which I suppose they are, the same way FTP is. I expect more effort being put into driving people away from block-chain and IPFS in the near future, once it gains some traction and scares the same people who can't stand non-corporate news sources and media.

Every Playstation since the original plays PS1 disks, and even the PSP can play PS1 games if you rip them and put them on the system correctly.
Even the PS3 systems that don't support PS2 games will play PS1 games.
Sony to their credit, has taken care of the PS1, much better than they did the systems that came after.
UMD drive perhaps?

Netflix has made sure that that claim is bullshit. The only reason Netflix is a burden on an ISP's backbone is an ISP going out of it's way to make sure they aren't playing nice with Netflix.
I think it's great you're all hot and bothered for Pelosi, but not all of your people share your attraction for her.
I think it's great you've avoided talking about her twin ding-bat that's been hosting a Chinese spy for years.

Looks like her own people want her purged now, so maybe I'm just ahead of the curve.
How short our memories are.

I know about getting into trouble due to packaging lobsters improperly due to laws of another nation etc....
Doesn't mean I think it's right.
If we are intentionally importing/exporting to another nation - sure, make sure the laws line up. Unless that is the case, then fuck-all.
The AK-47 is way ahead of these on the open-source fire arm bandwagon. The Trump administration is sticking with what the constitution says, this activist judge and all the me-too's from elsewhere are virtue-signaling their left wing stances.

I disagree.
Working together often makes things better, but without opposing forces things and new ideas things tend to stagnate.
An open-minded 90% working together with a very cunning 10% doing something different makes for something better.
seriously?
You're going there when the group that started all this shit acted during W's term? I thought it was still socially acceptable to hate on W.
Nestle has used modern slave labor for years. They came up with using block-chain to prove they're coming clean. Of course that's just as good as the people making entries on the chain.
They are working to cleanse themselves of the slavery image.
They've used it in their cocoa and coffee supply. They pretty much act like it "slips into the chain" these days, but when they were first found out they seemed more upset they were caught than anything. The older articles are getting harder to find.

Using fiber as a high-tech weather rock. I like it.
