I have the same model (also from AE) , and I use it for my PC Engine and a few other things, and I don't notice any latency at all. If it was laggy, shoot-em-ups on the Engine would certainly show this.

I have an OSSC on order to get a good source to do some decent captures of some Atari ST stuff, but for everything else, thsi £6 box just works :)





Now they just need to make some GOOD games for PC Engine :P

Isn't thermal paper full of cancer chemicals?

If it was, it wouldn't be used in every POS-terminal!

...or so I though, but lo and behold:

Wikipedia posted:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_paper#Health_and_environmental_concerns
Some thermal papers are coated with BPA, a chemical considered to be an endocrine disruptor.[9][10] This material can contaminate recycled paper.[11][12] BPA can transfer readily to the skin in small amounts:

When taking hold of a receipt consisting of thermal printing paper for five seconds, roughly 1 μg BPA (0.2–0.6 μg) was transferred to the forefinger and the middle finger if the skin was rather dry, and about ten times more than this if these fingers were wet or very greasy. Exposure to a person who repeatedly touches thermal printer paper for about ten hours per day, such as at a cash register, could reach 71 micrograms per day, which is 42 times less than the present tolerable daily intake (TDI).[13]

In my recommendations today is an odd Cyberpunk necklace. None of them have a description (across multiple listings) and I’m not smart enough to tell what it does from looking at it. It looks like a 3.5mm headphone jack and a usb so maybe it plays music? Maybe it just plays a voice saying that over and over? Lee Child is the pen name of the guy who writes Jack Reacher but searching for that phrase just brings up some Chinese meme style pages.

A gun isn't a gun unless it shoots Magic.
A style of soap holder where you stab a jagged piece of metal into the soap, that connects to a magnet with a suction cup. I'm sure it's definitely not going to rust straight away, making it a fun tetanus generator when your Irish Springs gets too thin.

Nope, but I was actually discussing it with them today. The chinese can very well do it as Dustin has documented quite a lot, if not everything. I'm also surprised that the OpenXenium isn't made enmass already.

Tetanus bacteria don't spontaneously generate inside of soap.
Also, rust and tetanus don't really have anything to do with each other. The bacteria are mainly found in soil and manure.
Pretty sure the connection between rust and tetanus mainly comes from farmers jabbing themselves on rusty tools they just dragged through soil so they picked up the bacteria.

Tetanus is also anaerobic, so it's more likely to be an issue with deep puncture wounds rather than surface scratches.

If you're an adult, remember to get a Tdap booster shot every 10 years! You get a sore arm for a day or two, but you don't get diphtheria, tetanus, or whooping cough, all of which you really don't want!

I guess it'll turn out to be a much smaller peltier cooled model, rather than an actual compressor model, but at £16 all in, it's still cheaper than a non powered coolbox, so at the very least I can fill it with coolblocks for days out in my van.

Probably nothing at all, 0% feedback isn't a great indicator :v:

I've looked into those compressor type fridges before, they're a few hundred bucks for a legit one unfortunately.

An Australian reviewer I read once called one of those 12v peltier cooler boxes "a pissy little eskie" and seeing one instantly evokes the phrase in my mind, every time.

just checking the cooler order, and noticed that one of my other recent orders unexpectedly said 'closed' and on checking it has this:



which is a new one on me, but on checking my bank, I have indeed had the refund:



weird, anyone had similar? The store is still active, so did they just forget to send my order ?

Mopsy, I'm starting to question your medical credentials.

One time that happened to me and it turned out I had a bunch of frantic messages from the seller asking me to cancel my order because they didn't have the stuff, but I'd never noticed it because it was all sent to some weird secondary inbox only accessible on desktop that didn't notify me in any way.

Something really annoying that Wish.com have started to do is deliver stuff to a store close to my location to pickup. That's fine on it's own, but they send a random txt to my phone with what looks like a delivery confirmation scam link to click to get a QR for the store to scan.
