I have a Milton Bradley Microvision from around 1979, the first handheld game system that used cartridges. I have the block breaker game, it still works but I think some components are wearing out as the game speed feels way too fast. Thing takes 2 9V batteries!

World News@lemmy.world•Engine fuel switches cut off before Air India crash that killed 260, preliminary report findsEnglish
2·9 months agoI think one of the biggest giveaways will be the voice recording and how they react to the situation. I doubt it will release publicly but it should give at least some idea to the Investigators.
And I was pretty surprised by the switches honestly, I figured they would have at least a guard and a spring loaded toggle, but it’s just the spring loaded toggle. Those are used a lot for any switch you don’t want moving accidentally, so it wasn’t super unique or anything.

1·9 months agoIt’s possible it was intentional, but unless it was a terror attack from the pilot it doesn’t make much sense. Since there was no manifesto or any statement I doubt that. Suicide is technically a possibility, but why take a plane full of people and some on the ground with you? I know some people lose empathy and reason when they get to that point, but it seems significantly more likely to me that the pilot was fatigued and just did the wrong thing, hanlon’s razor and all that. Mistakes are more common than you would think, they’re just not usually ‘cut off fuel to both engines right after takeoff’ bad.

8·9 months agoThe landing gear lever is located between the 2 primary flight displays while the fuel cutoff switches were directly below the throttle. They also look and operate in different ways. The only way I could see someone accidentally confusing the two is if the pilot flew other aircraft types where some function is located in the same place as the fuel cutoff switches.
Apparently the cockpit voice recording caught one pilot asking why they shut off the fuel and the other denying it. They were also turned back on right before the crash and were found in the on position, so it doesn’t appear one was trying to force it off or anything.

7·9 months agoIt’s always been this way with Nintendo, even way back. I did a backlight mod to an original DMG-01 Gameboy yesterday and they used tri-wing screws to secure the case, those things suck and are only used to keep consumers out.
Me, even though I know that I’ll probably end up enjoying the thing, still dreading to go to the thing.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•At your current rate of spending, for how long could you survive without income?
3·9 months agoA month on current funds and maybe a couple more if I started selling off longer term assets.

cats@lemmy.world•Tighty Whitey has been at Watauga Humane Society for 331 days without being adopted 🥺
31·10 months agoTighty rocks a diaper, but it’s not a miracle worker. His aim? Questionable. His attitude? Unbothered. Because of the occasional mess, he can’t go to rental homes.
Awww, poor guy seems to have some issues with his bladder. As sad as it is, I imagine this might be the reason why he’s still there :( Hopefully someone with the ability to care for him comes along soon, he deserves it ❤️

World News@lemmy.world•Denmark raises retirement age to 70 — the highest in EuropeEnglish
9·10 months agoI have very little confidence I’ll get a retirement. Even though I’m contributing to the Canada Pension Plan, I’m so far away that by the time I get there I have serious doubts the program will still exist. There is obviously calculations they make to determine the health of the fund, but I don’t think they are properly taking into account how much extra strain extended life expectancies will take on the program. If they plan for people to be on retirement for an average of 15 years, and suddenly that changes to 20 or 25 years, that fund will dry up quick. Combine that with the influx of boomer retirees and to me it doesn’t look so good.
Bro I am cooked, it took me a few read throughs before I realized she wasn’t spending the math departments budget on anthropomorphic art analysis.
Guy with a nuralink cut me off in traffic, so I took out my flipper zero and made him gender dysphoric.

12·11 months agoMy dog got her head stuck inside an empty McDonalds bag and banged her head into a wall, not hard but enough for us to go check what was going on. When we found her she was shaking her head back and forth but couldn’t get it off until we helped 😂
My internal clock is similarly good, but more of an asshole. If I fall back asleep after an alarm accidentally and have somewhere I need to be, my body will wake me up with the absolute bare minimum amount of time I need to get ready if I rush like an absolute mad man.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Is there any virtual pet device/app where you are the pet?
2·1 year agoSomeone else mentioned Habitica already, there are a few out there. I think they usually call it gamification. The only one I tried and was able to commit to was Walkscape (specifically gamifying getting out), although I’ve been slacking due to nasty winter weather.

This is only a good idea if you live in a small town or if the road doesn’t see much traffic, otherwise it is dangerous and illegal in some places.
