I can’t wait for the season to air!

I predict that no matter the outcome the family group chat will continue to be “liberal this, liberal that”.

That’s promising. I’ll have to double check and see how I have mine configured.

Oh no, that’s my bad. I meant to write that as RP4P Retroid Pocket 4 Pro, not a Raspberry Pi 4, but interesting to know all the same!

I’m thinking about getting a Retroid Pocket Classic but was wondering whether or not I might be able to use the same SD Card I use for my Retroid Pocket 4 Pro. I was hoping I could resume my saves between devices.

Is this is possible?

EDIT: had originally written RP4P. Updated to Retroid Pocket 4 Pro

The new All-Might catchphrase isn’t doing it for me.

I just recently finished Death’s End by Cixin Liu.

Thinking back I thought it was kind of funny that the protagonist spends most of her time asleep throughout the history of the universe. That aside, great science fiction and a great end to the trilogy.

That’s a rough place to be in. I hope it didn’t break the bank!

It’s recommended in the article as a third-party option, and I can still see some in the US store.

I feel bad for Americans that may soon be willing to pay for Anbernic devices at Retroid prices.

You could always try getting one shipped from a US warehouse or from Amazon.

 

“Due to changes in U.S. tariff policies, we will be suspending all orders shipping from China to the United States starting today,” writes Anbernic. “We strongly recommend prioritizing products shipped from our U.S. warehouse, which are currently not affected by import duties and can be purchased with confidence.”

My dad is always stunned that I never really got into GoT. I tuned in for a couple of seasons at the beginning, but life just got too busy for these kinds of big shows.

 

Chris Barber and Tamara Lich have been found not guilty of most charges against them for their roles in the 2022 truck convoy protest in Ottawa.

On Thursday at the Ottawa Courthouse, Ontario Court Justice Heather Perkins-McVey found the pair not guilty of four charges apiece relating to intimidation and obstructing police.

They were both found guilty of counselling others to commit mischief. Perkins-McVey also found them both guilty of committing mischief themselves, but that finding was stayed at the request of Crown lawyers.

Barber alone was found guilty of counselling others to disobey a court order. Lich was not charged with this.

All told, Barber was found guilty of two charges, not guilty of four and had a seventh stayed. Lich was found guilty of one, not guilty of four and had a sixth stayed.

 

From Discord:

Hello @everyone,

Unfortunately today is the day I have to announce that LunaSea is no longer being published and all related cloud services (including notifications) will be shut down in the near future.

For more information on when things will be shut down, please read the details here: https://www.lunasea.app/


I understand that this comes as a surprise and originally was not the intention for the project. However, with recently enforced changes by the Play Store (and possible other storefronts in the future) to require showcasing your legal personal residential address, I am no longer comfortable publishing mobile applications for privacy reasons.

Luckily for some time I have been able to get around this by utilizing an older ID to showcase an address I no longer reside at. Unfortunately, this no longer works and I am required to re-verify which I am not willing to do.


With this shut down also marks the closure of the Discord and Subreddit. For the time being this Subreddit and Discord will remain open, however all channels have been removed and no new posts allowed in the subreddit.

Once again, thank you to everyone for everything over the years, I couldn't have asked for a better community. ❤️

In case you missed it you can follow the City of Ottawa on BlueSky at @ottawacity.ottawa.ca et aussi à @ottawaville.ottawa.ca as of about a month ago.

Be sure to check out their following page for other prominent Ottawa-related accounts.

 

British animation company Jellyfish Pictures Ltd., which earlier this month paused all operations while “exploring all options for sale and investment,” is shutting down, part of the ongoing turmoil in the global animation and vfx industries.

In a statement earlier this month, the company blamed the “long-tail impact of Covid, coupled with rising costs and the fall-out from the writer and actor strikes” as the reason for its struggles.

The company’s remaining 69 workers are being laid off, with a handful remaining onboard temporarily to help wind down operations.

Upcoming Plex Pass Price Increase

The price increase applies to new and existing subscriptions, with the exception of existing Lifetime Plex Pass holders.

New USD prices as of April 29, 2025 will be:
Monthly: $6.99
Yearly: $69.99
Lifetime: $249.99

If you’d like to lock in a Lifetime Plex Pass subscription at the current rate of $119.99 USD, you have until April 29, 2025 to do so.

Upcoming Change to Remote Playback for Personal Media

We are also changing how remote playback works for streaming personal media (that is, playback when not on the same local network as the server). The reality is that we need more resources to continue putting forth the best personal media experience, and as a result, we will no longer offer remote playback as a free feature.

So Long, Mobile Unlock Fee

Our Android and iOS mobile apps previously required a one-time activation fee or Plex Pass to remove the one-minute playback limitation when streaming content from a Plex Media Server. As part of these changes, there will no longer be any such one-minute playback limitation.


EDIT:

IMPORTANT NOTE FOR CURRENT PLEX PASS HOLDERS: For users who have an active Plex Pass subscription, remote playback will continue to be available to you without interruption from any Plex Media Server, after these changes go into effect. When running your own Plex Media Server as a subscriber, other users to whom you have granted access can also stream from the server (whether local or remote), without ANY additional charge—not even a mobile activation fee.

Interesting bit of information at 0:12 there is a transition that shows an alternate 6-button configuration from the default ABXY layout.
