How good is retropi on 3B+?.I have a 3B+ and would like to use it for retrogaming instead of getting a 8gb pi4.How well does it run?It does depend on the game but what have been your experiences with using 3B+ for retrogaming?

I am planning on getting a rasberry pi b+ for a specific use case and I have many questions(mostly about kits)Do I need the kit versions?Do they have things I need to use the rasberry pi?(Other than the case)Can I just buy only a rasberry pi?(of course ill need things like an HDMI cable to use it on a monitor but do these kits have necessary things or can I just use a rasberry pi by itself?)

Im not sure if anyone knows what skulls is (https://github.com/merge/skulls) but I have some questions about it.Are there some things mecessary to do or optional before starting the installation process?(installing via rasberry pi btw)Also what should I get a x230 or a T430 to install this on?Which one would you recommend and why?Is there different use cases for them?I plan on using it for normal things,lightweight gaming,possibly running a VM and such.Are there any videos on this process?If anyone could please answer all or at least some of these questions I would appreciate it.

Are there any kinda privacy friendly VoIP providers?Also im not too worried since for VoIP ms I can tie the least ammount of personal identifiable information as possible.For example if an email is required use a simplelogin aleeas and for payment either a non reloadable prepaid visa card or privacy.com.However,if possible could you point me too a more privacy oriented service?If not fully privacy friendly at least one that asks for as little information as possible?Since you mentioned there are probably better options.

 

Is it better ,or just as good to use a VoIP provider like https://voip.ms/ rather than mysudo for things like pseudonyms.For example,having a number dedicated for Shopping so that amazon doesnt have your phone number.The reason I ask this is because MySudo doesnt work on a degoogled phone like CalyxOS regardless if it has microG or not.Would apreciate any answers.

What about the x230 retrobooted?Also this should work with both the libre x200 and retro x230?Create Virtual Machine in QEMU on linux with Virt-Manager | KVM - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G21c-sbggk4

 

Do you guys think I should either 1.Get a libreboot thinkpad x200 from retrofreedom and then have only 8GB's of ram to where I can still use KVM but i'll be a bit more limited in terms of ram or 2.Get a thinkpad x230 from ebay,save up for a couple of months,and then send it to retrofreedom for retroboot installation ,have 16GB's of ram and run better VM's but having the disadvantage of it not being libreboot but still being pretty good because of retroboot.

 

I wanted to do this but the main problem is that I have no understanding of installing this type of stuff.When I look at any guide I get really confused.I could give it to retrofreedom to install retroboot but it is kinda expensive.I dont know what to do right now any tips?

I feel like this person is thinking that when we say ''normies'' we look down on those people.Just because you think thats what ''normies'' mean doesnt mean its what other people use it for.I think when we say ''normies'' we mean that these people are more into things like google and things that most people use everyday unlike us who try to break away from such things.Also they talk about being pushy.Not everyone is like this.When I talked to a family member about it I was far from pushy and tried to explain why its bad for your privacy to use this service and how you could use this alternative.They asked me ways to do other stuff that they like to do in a more privacy oriented fashion but they sadly still didn't care. When they say people do care about privacy it is true but when they look at digital privacy they dont see it the same way as irl privacy like locking the bathroom door and such.Just because they care about irl privacy doesnt mean that they will feel the same about digital privacy.

"Arch breaks. Not a lot, but still more than, say, Debian or Fedora-based distros", huh i thought it was the other way around and arch breaks less.

 

Every time I get to the last level I make items that let you fall down holes withouth taking damage so I make a bunch of them,get all the way down,and fight the boss since I absolutely despise the scorpions and the giant eyeballs.Anyone know any good strategies for the game in general or for specifically taking down those 2?

Yea sometimes privacy means better security.

I may be wrong but I do remember someone cracking down on it saying that it was a photo shopped ipad and such.

If I remember wasnt that exposed as a scam?

Yes the reason why they are out of stock is because they were waiting for the next release of libreboot which has recently been released so this month it should be restocked

um I said t430 not the x230

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 years ago (2 children)

also I have another question.Can you put 8GB of ram into a x200 I have heard that you cant but I have also heard that you can with a 64 bit operating system.Which one is true?

 

Is libreboot compatible with the thinkpad t430?If so does it have IME or no?I saw on the official page it said it supported T400 and T400s so does that mean anything from T400 to T500 is supported?
