Dreamcast outputs at 480i/p which looks about that size on a 1080 display. I think your TV is running in just-scan display mode which is just displaying what it gets pixel for pixel. I’m guessing whatever you used for input before made the TV auto scale itself, but now it’s not on HDMI.
Change the TV to fill and live with it. It’s gonna be a bit blurry.

I’ve not heard of too many employers really going through the effort to verify most degrees, although that likely changes the higher up the academic tree you get. I only have a bachelors and I’ve never had it actually verified.

Trucks should either be a 1992 Ford Ranger extended cab or a full-size commercial box truck or flatbed for actual commerical hauling needs. Most trucks in the midrange between those levels are just bad at both worlds.

The FCC wants its fine powers back so it can put any anti-Trump media completely out of business, or at least force them to toe the party line.

Where older, stronger memory connections hang on after more recently formed ones have been lost.
empireOfLove2@lemmy.dbzer0.comto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Apocalypse movies in the near future won't have survivors scavaging abandoned cars.English7·10 days agoYou’d be surprised. They’re less common in urban areas, but you can find multiple in any parking lot in more rural areas.
empireOfLove2@lemmy.dbzer0.comto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Apocalypse movies in the near future won't have survivors scavaging abandoned cars.English45·10 days agoYou want a carbureted small block Chevy or Ford.
Nope.
Pre 1990 mechanically fuel injected, naturally aspirated diesels. 7.3 or 6.9 IDI, 6.2 Detroit, most Cummins industrial engines.
Diesel lasts significantly longer in storage (2+ years) than volatile gasoline (6mo max). I’ve even seen some non-mixed diesel last 10+ years when stored right.
But the biggest deal is that compression ignition engines can basically run on literally any vaguely flammable liquid substance. You can make biodiesel from a ton of stuff ranging from oil bearing crops to animal fat. They run way longer on oil changes because they don’t dump as much thin gas into their oil. And there are no real consumables like spark plugs, distributor caps/rotors/points.In a post-society situation real fossil fuels or petroleum lubricants or parts will not be available.
There’s multiple tiny Mexican restaurants in my town that I 100% know are run by the cartel. Like,I know the manager didn’t buy a $100k dodge Durango hellcat selling burritos and tacos in a farm town.
I don’t fucking care though, the tacos are good.
empireOfLove2@lemmy.dbzer0.comto RetroGaming@lemmy.world•Use same SD Card between devices?English7·14 days agoA quick poke at the retroid pocket’s product page says it’s underlying OS is Android 14. Android defaults external storage formatting to fat32 or exFAT, both of which Raspbian or most Linux distros can support (with an extra package in exFAT’s case). You should have no problems with each device reading the cards, but I’m not sure what emulators each uses.

People with mental and physical disabilities were among the first targets of the Nazi regime. Several years before the Nazis devised a “final solution” for Europe’s Jews, they had already begun sorting their citizens by ability and claiming the Reich had no place for people who were different. Nazi doctors and psychiatrists led the charge, endeavoring to mold certain “autistic” children into productive citizens while sending others to be murdered at Special Children’s Wards throughout the Reich.
Right on fucking schedule!

Astroturfed groups run by foreign actors and domestic terrorists admit they got the result they actually wanted, which was a Nazi controlled government.
Fuck off with that shitty distraction.
