I just started up Rygel (on Fedora) shared my music folder on the external drive (you want to serve it over "lo interface) and the server popped right up in the PS4's media player.
Oh my sweet summer child, didn't you read the linked article which mentions how the Post Office offered savings accounts from 1911 to 1967? But what astounds me is that you didn't already know that. Know your history!
Not only that, but in many countries, the Post Offices DO offer banking services.
So if the USPO was to offer bank services, they'd be returning to their roots. Though I think as part of that they should offer e-mail accounts and SMIME e-mail certs.
Even in the US, the Post Office still offers money order services.
Honestly as bad as banks are, having a US government bank sounds even worse.
For the average joe in the US for many many years, the post office WAS their bank.
Not even taking into account that George Soros was born in 1930, making him a year younger than Anne Frank. So the anti-semites are basically saying some kid, who was never even old enough to serve in any military during the war, was some evil mastermind Nazi collaborator.
Remember these anti-Soros folks are the probably the ones saying twenty-something neckbearded dudebros are "just kids" when they swat someone.
you think that some tennager who plays one level of LoL over and over on a laptop is something special? Or the equivalent who plays the Warehouse in TF2, or de.dust in CS? or the Korean college dropout hopped up on Adderall playing Starcraft or someone who only plays WoW?
Or what about the guys more interested in playing benchmarks for e-peen points rather than actually playing games? Or the guys who brag about the games they buy for 5 bucks on Steam that they never get around to playing.
And don't get me started on the fact that vast majority of those people above are running Windows. The operating system that some Linux Elitists say is only used by idiot sheeple lusers too stupid to properly admin their own machines.
Console gamers focus on the games, they don't go around calling PC gamers peasants or "welfare gamers" or using other slurs. Sure there's some console gamers who only do sports games or the brown shooter of the week, but many console gamers play a large and diverse set of games.
Besides, when Yahtzee created the "Master Race" thing, he was being sarcastic and calling out PC gamers on their elitism! He's said he should have called PC gamer elitists: "PC Gaming Dick Slur All-Stars"
So go ahead and brag about being a PC gaming dick slurper.
It's the supposed PC Master race that's the riff raff, especially the ones outside of North America, Japan and Western Europe. Cheap-ass Brazilian/Thai/etc pirates and grimdark obsessed Russian/Polish/Hungarian/etc edgelords
For battle royale, yes. The game has pixar-ish looking graphics so it passes the "mom glances at game to see if theres any blood/sex/pentagrams" test. Even though Battle Royale is inspired by the R-rated the film Battle Royale itself
Really young kids shouldn't be playing since the game is T rated. If I had my druthers every kid caught playing it should be banned...permanently. They're a plague in the original Save the World mode. which is the more complex team based PVE shooter/rpg/tower/defense/sandbox mode that came FIRST.
The BRats only play STW to earn vbucks for BR and they know jack shit about RPG's so they suck and engage in disruptive behavior.
I've said this many many times on Slashdot: The PS2/PS3/PS4 all have USB ports for a reason. Sony has also supported mouse and/or keyboard on their Playstation hardware LONGER than Microsoft has on the Xbox. YEARS, when Microsoft has only decided to announce support this week.The first game that will support alternate controls on Xbox will be Warframe next month. I have PS2 games with mouse/keyboard support. For both platforms, the developer has the final decision. Some games will some won't.
On the PS4, Fortnite is one of the games that already does, in both Battle Royale and Save the World modes. In Battle Royale, if PS4 owners join a queue by using a mouse, they are queued with PC players, though at any time they can switch to controller.
If they start a BR queue using the controller, they are queued with other console users, and may not switch to keyboard/mouse controls.
Save the World is PVE, so controls don't matter and aren't restricted.
Who wants to sit in front of their TV with a mouse and keyboard?
Someone who wants to play a console game with mouse/keyboard support? TV trays and lap-pads are a thing.
I guess people if use their console at a desk it sort of make sense
I've used a desktop setup with PlayStations since 2002. But I had Linux on the PS2/PS3 and have/do play MMO's/MMO-ish games on console. My PC running Linux/PS3/PS4 are all hooked up to the same display on a desk.
but even a shitty laptop can play Fortnite (from what I understand)
The Battle Royale mode for filthy casuals, yes. But the Save the World mode has higher requirements.
Not aware of any games that supported the Keyboard + Mouse combo though.
I've mentioned several on Slashdot in other discussions, there are some, mostly MMO's and ports. Note that there might be more that I don't know about.
PS2: Deus Ex, Half-Life, Tribes, Dirge of Cerberus, Unreal Tournament 2003, Final Fantasy XI. EQOA the MMO has keyboard but not mouse support, you can play the game entirely with the keyboard if you want. Gran Turismo 4 has mouse support for menus.
PS3: Unreal Tournament, DCUO, FFXIV, Dust514,
PS4: Fortnite, DCUO, FFXIV, Onigiri, War Thunder. I highly recommend a mouse for War Thunder...not for playing the game, but for the menus.
It will be interesting if see if any FPS games on the console will finally take off the aim-assists
Every console shooter I've played that has mouse support lets you turn it off. In fact, I recommend turning it off in Half-Life on the PS2, even if you use the controller.
PC gamers with Mouse+Keyboard would completely destroy / wreck all the console gamers using the gamepad.
I remember the pre-mouse-aiming shooter players saying that mouse-aiming was "easy mode" for johnny-come-lately dudebros whose first shooter was Quake II on their college network. And it IS. Someone who can get headshots with a controller IS more skilled than some mouse pointing "casual", And PC games are designed around the mouse, meaning they place high importance on aiming and lower importance on movement/positioning. The ONE console shooter that I felt didn't need the mouse was the SOCOM series, which in singleplayer is a tactical, realistic, stealth-centric game where how you move and where you move to is important.
Personally I prefer a hybrid control scheme if I can get it. Moving with the analog stick, but aiming with the mouse. It works VERY well in games that support it.
but the motherboard died and I basically could find no-one to fix it (I seem to remember sending it into a repair place, and having them tell me they couldn't fix it and it would be $80 to send it back so yeah),
Ouch. Mine started having graphics issues a few years back, sent it in to Sony, they fixed it right up, sent it back. It's been flawless ever since.
I think those models ran really hot.
They did and do, CECHA/CECHB models in particular. Keep them well ventilated and off the floor.
PS3's don't have the standard PS1/PS2 control ports so if you want to play any PSone game with PSone mouse support with the mouse, no dice. You can still play them with the standard controls though. Or if you want to use the giant flightstick-ish analog joystick with Mechwarrior 2, Ace Combat or Colony Wars...you're out of luck.
maybe even a really compact PS2 that supported Blu-Ray playback, had improved outputs, and some graphical improvement for PS2 games along with supporting translation for PS3/PS4 controllers to work with the system.
Except for the "compact" part, Sony made those....they called them early-model PS3's. Everyone complained about the price they had to charge because of the additional PS2 chips in them.
Frankly, I really prefer playing these two games on my iPhone with all its hi-res bells and whistles.
Without physical controls?
Ape Escape (my favorite kooky game)
Ape Escape was the first game to require the DualShock with the analog sticks. Since this machine only includes equivalents of the original all-digital pre-dualshock controllers, I doubt it.
The PStv being that failure of a micro-console that's basically a screenless Vita. Like the Vita it has access to PSN so you can just buy a bunch of PSone classics, play them with an actual DualShock3/4. And also play a bunch of PSP and Vita games.
Sadly, PStv's have gone up in price...I got mine for $29 new at Wal-Mart, but you can't get one for that now.

Assembler.
Or a BASIC interpreter in a ROM, perhaps with the ability to load machine language subroutines from DATA statements.
Those were fairly traditional on machines with specs similar to yours

Why wouldn't that apply to the Xbox One's as well? or the Switch, which has more in common with the Vita than the PS4/Xbox
