Most people could not give a poo poo less about the movement of a watch. They like how it looks. It's a fashion accessory. Who cares if it's a Fossil? Let someone buy whatever they find suitable.

On bluray. The sequel to Drive. Gosling reprises his role as a violent autistic wheel-man.

Was this really the sequel? I watched a good portion of it a while back but didn't get the Drive vibe from it at all. Thought Gosling's performance wasn't as good either.

Just ordered this:


And this:


A Raspberry Pi 2 and a Beaglebone Black, along with assorted cases, power supplies, and a flash card with an OS for the pi.. I figure I can hook the Pi up to my TV and use the web browser to watch stuff like Twitch on my big screen instead of my monitor, because the web browser on the PS4 is just unbelievably lovely.

The Beaglebone Black is for more general messing around and software development of small projects; I tried dual booting with Windows and Linux for a while, and it ended up being more trouble than it was worth. Running linux in a VM is just barely slow enough that it bothers me. So I'll run Ubuntu or something on the Black and use that instead of building an entirely separate computer that would be way more than what I need.

Now I just need to figure out a way to switch keyboard and mouse input from my desktop machine to the black that's more graceful than unplugging everything and moving it over.

I understand the fun behind tinkering with and customizing the device to your liking but I never understood why people go for the Raspberry Pi, especially for media center applications.
It's slow (in comparison to the other android set top boxes) and not that much cheaper. I always thought just buy a drat Amazon FireTV.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Amazon-Fire...=p2047675.l2557
It could be even cheaper than a Pi if you're brave enough to gamble on purchasing a rootable one (and got lucky to snag one of those refurbs).

If you click on "The Shop" in the upper right, you can read a little paragraph on how it works.

And yes, the prices are better because the bikes are used, but all the worn parts fixed/replaced.

That's awesome. My friend will be in Chicago in a few weeks so I'll ask her if she can check a few out for me. Thanks!

Worst case scenario it was only $500 so if I hate it I'll buy an edge. I like the iPad my wife bought, so should be fine.


Must be nice to not give a gently caress about $500

I think the high prices are just people speculating - it's clear that these things are insanely popular and right now the supply can't keep up, so people are gambling that they'll become major collector's items down the line. I have a feeling Nintendo will ramp up production though, they like money.

Basically this. Nintendo would be completely idiotic not to ramp up production of it in time for the holidays. I've got an emulator setup but really like the idea of something this well executed.

I know it's never gonna happen but an SNES with internet multiplayer would get over a hundred bucks from me. My emulator 15 years ago had that.
