Back around the turn of the millennium (to make me sound aged and wise) I did AOL tech support. I ran into so many people that used AOL email as a storage medium. I received death threats from a guy that lost his doctor thesis work because he was storing it in chunks attached to AOL emails to himself. That isn't even close to the dumbest thing I encountered in that ring of hell.

Millions of people sadly

Damn, sorry for suggesting it in that case. I didn't have a hard time getting the SNES Classic at the time, but the NES Classic was a fight. I ended up having to spend far more than it was worth to get one.

Retropie has a video on their setup guide that can help with the emulation front. Setting up a Raspberry Pi itself can be a little annoying if you've never done it before, but there are tons of guides out there. Just keep in mind that they run off of a microSD card, so you usually install by using a card reader on a PC and installing the image onto the card before you do anything else.

I actually stopped using all of Pis because of little annoyances that added up, but I am a very picky bastard so don't let that totally dissuade you.

Thanks for looking. I'll see if I can poke around in their forums.

Easiest? An SNES Classic if you can find one for sale. It is really just a trivially hackable linux pc that comes with SNES controllers and has a nice interface. For something you can definitely buy new and don't want to have to hack anything, probably a steam deck with the dock and a controller because of how easy it is to set up. All of those options are much more expensive than something like a raspberry pi with retropie, but they are easier.

My Pixel 4a was perfect, but it is sadly gone now. I ended up with an 8a to I could keep using grapheneOS, but without a headphone jack I just started using a standalone portable music player. It seems ridiculous because it is, but that is what they forced on me and I will never forgive any of these companies for it.

Yeah, I'm a little jealous of that cool ass setup. I used to have something like it, though not as nice.

Womp Womp you AI leeches

I just looked at the site and it looks great, but parts of it didn't look available in English. Do you have any idea if it's fully compatible with US networks?

They are one of the few OEMs that still offers headphone jacks and they are overall decent midrange phones. If they weren't so damned big and had an unlocked bootloader for ROM support I'd be on one right now.

The trackball that had the customizable notification LED under it on the Nexus One was so damned cool. Since it was raised up and I had work emails, texts, personal emails, and GTalk all on distinct colors, I could tell from across the room whether it was worth even grabbing my phone.

I like that "Name" was on there. You know, in case he forgets.
