New to wanting to watch a barely-local pro sports team play games live. Sorry in advance…
1️⃣ F blackouts, so so so very much.
2️⃣ Why are ESPN and ESPN+ mutually exclusive offerings? I feel like plus implies “includes not plus”, but nope.
3️⃣ How long does a blackout on a game last? Am I never allowed to watch a game that was blacked out live, even after several weeks?

@Gammitin had an original Xbox I acquired like that. Not sure if it will help yours, but mine got slightly better by keeping it sealed in a box with some baking soda for several weeks. (May have forgotten about it.)

@Lobrien that sounds both really interesting and super painful. I wish you luck!

Anyone know a fix for AirPods Pro that require toggling this accessibility setting on and back off every couple days? Spatial audio is so disorienting.

@Gmatom love it so much! You have me inspired too. Do you have a preferred means of going from sprite/screen target to screen capture to pattern?

Anyone know how to flip the display and touch orientation on Raspberry Pi OS Lite these days?
Apparently, I haven't used my Raspberry 7-inch display in a while and the `display_hdmi_rotate=2` config.txt line no longer appears to work with the lastest.

The gauntlet, I get. Thats just an accessory.
The severed hand of a mutant? That’s…kind of dark.

Also some “new” ISO 400 film, but mostly because I wanted to build a Meadow project that fit inside it.

Almost bought some new electronics, but I didn’t want to think of how I could make it work with my cell phone.
