PC Rigs, Builds, and Peripheral Devices / Re: Apple to Charge $1000 for their Monitor Stand!
« Last post by BLUEVOODU on June 13, 2019, 10:02:21 PM »LOL @retro junkie lol.....
yeah... see.. that's the problem I have. Apple made serious cash money while they had plants where they installed nets to catch employees because people were throwing themselves from the roof top due to horrible conditions. That's just not right.
They "corrected" some of those things... but corrected is in quotes for a reason. And their corrections really didn't add a lot of cost...
Greed. I'm all for people making as much money as they can... but when you treat people as slaves in horrible conditions, that's not ok.

At the very least, I'd opt for the VESA mount and save the money. Yes, they could afford it.. but why? I'd rather get an LG, ASUS, or other competitor model for well under the cost of the monitor (not to mention monitor and stand combo).

Retro Gaming and Hardware / Re: N64 Clone Console?
« Last post by retro junkie on June 09, 2019, 06:07:31 PM »This is a first as far as I have found for the N64.
When I say emulation based, I am referring to the Retron 5 that had android as its OS which dumped the rom into the system. It did not play from the cart. This made it controversial with gamers. All of the other Hyperkin consoles were system-on-a-chip and played from the cart.

« Last post by BLUEVOODU on June 09, 2019, 10:19:30 AM »@retro junkie So these are all emulation based? The N64 console deserves something. @Jack mentioned it was time for a N64 classic... but most of the classic consoles are emulation based.
I doubt an "official" classic console would be anything other than emulation. Do you see any other companies on the horizon to take a hardware based approach?

I want one made of Vibranium… please... That would be cool.. Then again, I don't think I would waste Vibranium on a monitor stand unless it gave some additional awesome properties somehow.
