For a while at school each kid had a 3.5 inch floppy for keeping work on from one class to the next, and a lot of people didn't seem to be able to keep the floppy alive for very long. Not sure what they were doing to them. In keyboards, I like the ones that were included with computers in the...

I'm sure they are, it's just the visual of a floppy with a coffee cup on it ;)

I find them strangely upsetting

I just bought this too, and unfortunately it seems to be a really bad fit for my hands. I've used a lot of different controllers and really thought I was going to like that one :(

There were issues with booting from EXT4 which are resolved in more recent OS versions. Code::Blocks will work best on EXT4. If the Pandora doesn't have the EXT4 formatting tools in the base OS (as TrashyMG suggested it might not), you can use the gparted PND. But do test your card first as...

Like other animals, humans evolved to want to eat things that were good for them in those original environments. Then they figured out how to make food that tastes good regardless of nutrition. Also, what's good to eat in a harsh environment where you mostly aim to survive long enough to...

Can still quote out of context ;) Sounds like you were talking about ingredients which taste like sugar or fat but don't give you the energy when you try to digest them? And this wouldn't apply to fake meat with real fat in it? "Avoid processed food" would apply to fake meat though.

In unprocessed plant foods, starch and protein are mixed together, so how does that work?

I don't think it's going to work going vegan just like that. And if you take a diet that's high in junk food and just try to turn it vegan, you're going to get nutrient deficiencies - you'll need to eat a lot of different kinds of vegetables, nuts, etc. I'd suggest spending a couple of months...

If the bootloader is corrupted it doesn't turn any LEDs on, so you could try the recovery card. You shouldn't insert the battery with external power connected, it can break things.

Mounting a PND could fail if it doesn't have write permissions for where it wants to put the appdata directory (and FAT32 doesn't have these sorts of permissions).

I mainly play Nintendo handheld games. I like my Switch Lite and my DS Lite and my backlight-modded GBA. I prefer the shape of the original GBA rather than the GBA SP. For other things, of course the Pandora :) You can use NiMH batteries in the GBC and GBA (except the battery level indicator...

ATmega328P shortage. A very popular hobbyist chip with a lot of legacy code depending on it. "Adafruit ordered 9,000 in March 2021 which have not arrived." https://blog.adafruit.com/2022/06/16/chip-shortage-microchip-atmega328p-microcontroller-chipshortage-adafruit-adafruit-microchipmakes/

Yeah, I was thinking that compiling a new desktop environment for SuperZaxxon probably means hours/days of troubleshooting. While Slackware on Pandora will probably behave basically the same as what you would expect from the normal version of Slackware.

The Code::Blocks PND has a newer GCC and libs than for the system packages, and you need to package the libs used into your PND. If somebody did want to compile a desktop environment, would it need to be built against the system packages?

I see :( . Well since there do seem to be images for 14.1 you could try those. Looks like there's a gz image too. When I tried using Slackware, building software mostly just worked, and when I wasn't sure about something the normal Slackware documentation applied. Trying to build software for...

Oh wait, maybe there is. It's another of ingoreis' imz files, did it turn out you can use that with zcat? https://pyra-handheld.com/boards/threads/4-ways-to-install-pandora-slackware-windows-linux-zaxxon.68815/

I don't see one. Looks like the SD card setup is a similar procedure to what I wrote for SuperZaxxon earlier. I tried Slackware a few years back following the setup instructions and it wasn't difficult. I still don't understand why an advanced user who wants to do things like compile desktop...

The built-in packages were cross-compiled, and most of the PNDs in the store were built with Code::Blocks. It's not a normal Linux build experience. If you want to do major stuff like changing the desktop environment, I'd recommend using Slackware instead.
