There's some people who've done that IIRC. Shucked the GBC/GBP and just threw in other hardware and emulated.

I got the yellow pocket, along with pokemon IIRC. The yellow pocket with the Pokemon Yellow Edition looked pretty cool.

Yep, it was pretty exciting not to have the wiggly-light that sucked 3/4 of your battery compared to actually you know, playing games. People also don't realize how having a rechargeable battery changed things as well. Batteries were/are expensive, parents having to hand them out a few times a week really added up. Not having to constantly replace them and carry extras with you (plus being able to just plug into the wall whenever) was a HUGE thing at the time.

But it is factually wrong?

It's worth it to point out that WebOS has many versions that are considerably different, even on recent tvs.
The WebOS on my GX looks and acts completely differently from the WebOS on my C2 for example. Perhaps you have tried a similarly old, or older, version?

I will always stick to my opinions, unless they are factually wrong or I change opinions in the future. Internet points be damned.

Makes sense. And a lot of people like me like to at least pretend we are comparison shopping. Basically impossible to do on a smart speaker. It’s just not a good model.

You know what the SP was, right?
IMO the built-in backlight was the killer feature of the SP. The hinge was just a bonus.

Ah I see, the gamepad probably doesn’t have much customizability! I’m the opposite, I have mostly razer stuff and the only Corsair thing I have is a set of fans, so maybe I didn’t see everything there is to their RGB stuff. I do think Synapse is very good when it comes to customizing peripherals like mice and keyboards

That's funny, I actually think the synapse has a better setup for keybindings and hardware stuff, but corsairs rgb tools are little more flexible and I feel like I can do alot more with them.
I should also prefece that with I only have a razer gamepad and everything else is corsair. Kb/m, fans, ps, mouse pad, even the case is too. I had more razer bc it's placement of devices is much more appealing to me.

I read this as someone added hinge to a game boy pocket at first and I thought they were talking about the dating app

I've read so far that for video editing and After Effects, AMD cards aren't much of an issue, maybe a tad slower, but your CPU will be a bigger bottleneck.
Not sure about 3D work though, that's out of my wheelhouse.

Its the reimbursable part.
The VA will pay for a Medical Device. If its just an App, then the VA will pay for just the App and the Vet is stuck buying an App, which even a $250 SE watch can be a lot for a Vet struggling with employment due to PTSD.

Add a hinge to a device that already has a hinge?

I just read up on that a little and as far as I can tell it is either not possible at all or requires lots of modifications besides switching the chips. I couldn’t find a single article so my assumptions are based on the looks of internals. The first backlit GB is the GB Advance SP(I think?) whose internals are far more sophisticated than those of older GBs(especially GBC and DMG). The chips themselves seem to have more pins / chip and are smaller overall.
I also learned that some chiptuners prefer the GBC despite a somewhat worse sound quality as it is more crash-resistant when playing complicated songs. None of them have mentioned a chip switch as the ultimate solution. So I guess that confirms my assumptions.
Regarding your second sentence… other than a backlit panel(which can be added), there is not much to call „worse“ in older machines, at least regarding music production. They are thicker, comparing the size to other DJ equipment, even the DMG looks rather small, shouldn’t be a problem. Batteries can be changed to rechargeable ones, there are mods which make it possible to charge your GB with USB C. The only issue I can see is screen size, but that’s something a musician can live with I think. My stepdad plays Tetris on his DMG while taking no 2 in spite of bad eyesight lol

The problem with buying anything with alexa is Amazon's pricing model. The cat food I buy goes up and down by a couple dollars a case consistently and thats from Amazon direct. If they're sold out the sky is the limit to how much it will cost. Everything that I could reasonably imagine someone use a home assistant to order is like that. It was significantly worse during covid for obvious reasons.

Press D-pad and other buttons when it's launching. IIRC you hold certain buttons and press D-pad for different options. So just pressing "left" on the D-pad will give you a different result than holding "B" and pressing "left". Just from memory, so could be wrong on the specifics.
The screen will instantly change to whatever filter you want. It was pretty cool when I randomly discovered this, a bunch of kids got confused and thought scratching the IR cover did it somehow.
