I have no reason to install the updates and if I did want them I'd do so :shrug:. All it does is waste bandwidth for me.Quote:

Like I said you should be using an old OS that doesn't have updates now.Quote:

Firefox has gotten progressively worse since they changed their update model.
I used the group policy editor.Quote:

You could manually check for updates and still not install them up until recently.
Upgrade your speed if it isn't fast enough.
If you're actually talking about data then don't have a plan with a cap. I haven't been near a capped plan for decades.
Yeah but if it's updated it still works best with a lot more websites compared to other options.Quote:

Chrome I did have for a little bit but it was a pain on a bunch of sites. Attachments/images not working and other issues. It was like using a phone :lol
Not to mention privacy concerns. I hardly use Google at all now, it's just a last resort if I'm desperate to find something.

bleh
Seems to be behaving now though Defender still pulled an update for itself.
cleaning up one of my psp memory cards currently transferring files :bore:
Games can be a bit slow if you're transferring over USB but it's not too bad.
Do you have a Sony MSPD or an adapter?
I have 2 MSPD and 2 M2s with adapters. planning on getting a 32gb Msd with a Msd to MSPD adapter.Quote:

I try not to spend more than $20 - $30 on any SD/mSD/flash drive/etc. whenever I buy one. I never have the most possible storage for whatever media at the time but it's prevented me from wasting too much money on it over the years.Quote:

The price per GB sucks when you're buying a lower capacity SD or whatever but there's not much to do about it when you need a small one :wacko:.
:yawn:
I usually buy from whatever place has the best price+shipping. I had been finding good prices on amazon but ebay has been getting better again lately.Quote:

It just makes things worse in the long run.
I'm stuck with slow internet for now... Kinda
Think I would've gone completely bonkers if I stayed on my old slow plan over the last year or so. Lockdowns with crappy internet :O__O:
So I just purchased a couple of games...
Sea Battle (INTV) CiB
Barnyard Blaster (7800) CiB
...for consoles I don't have... again :lol Guess I'll put them in the same box as my Switch games :pwacko:
nice. CIB does that mean it has shrink wrap on the box?Quote:

3 crafting should have been made similar to the real minecraft not a guessing game on what blocks go in what square to make anything
4 there should have been an auto jump feature pressing select to jump sucks
so yeah if it wasn't for those things it'd be comparable to minecraft 3ds.
No, they aren't sealed new.
CiB is just Complete in Box.
oh ok that's what I thought but wasn't sure.Quote:

All the really old stuff is worth something here CiB. There isn't much of it around compared to Europe or the US.
Some people import stuff to resell but it's harder to do that cheaply now for obvious reasons.
Some of the old 2600, C64 etc releases here have Aussie unique packaging.
Do you know the NES game Raid 2020 ?
That was released in the US but the only PAL release is over here by HES (there might be 2 Aussie versions but I've only ever seen the piggyback version).
I've got Pitfall C64 local release cart. It's hard to find here but not ultra rare. It's CiB.
yeah I've plaid raid 2020. how much different is your packaging compared to the us or pal? cause I always figured you guys had the same box/cart artwork as pal releases.Quote:

Easiest thing to do is look up titles on gamefaqs, atariage and the like and you should be able to see the different packaging (on atariage you can see cart labels).
Some of the local NES releases by HES are piggyback carts.
Local PAL stuff can sometimes be presented differently, like N64 local PAL packaging is slightly different to Euro and our manuals are usually just English.
Sometimes stuff won't be any different besides local rating instead of UK/EU rating, but if it's different enough overall then is usually regarded as a variant.
The Raid 2020 NES example is an odd one, like UK/EU collectors of PAL releases would need to get the AU version as that's the only PAL. There might be some other odd examples like that.
Developers have gotten dumber :wacko:.Quote:
