Atari VCS All In plus the speaker hat. They are losing money on this one so it is a total buy! In the minimum you get a full modern PC without a Hard drive for under a 100 bucks! I am pulling the trigger!

OK so I guess they are not losing shit on this as they have not shipped yet. For some reason orders received on this order day have not shipped. No word on anything about what is happening it has now been multiple days passed the one day for shipping that Atari promised and still no shipping notice. I signed up for the VCS Discord to report my problem but this totally sucks as I was all hyped for my VCS and Speakerhat purchase. Somebody needs to make this right :) You guys have my email that is in your records you should send something to let me know. You can export a spreadsheet of all orders you know on a certain day?

I just posted on the Official Discord along with the rest of the people that did not get there order I wonder if it has to be a one on one experience. That is cool though as long as I get my stuff.

The Atari VCS and Speakerhat combo has finally landed here at The Helper Central! It has been a long journey, 23 days of drama but it has finally come!

I finally stopped procrastinating and did the OS USB Flash update and the Atari VCS is now hooked up. First game I paid for was Donut Dodo. This is an excellent game for 4.99 it totally captures the spirit of the retro arcade classics and is Hard! It is inspired by Mario Brothers and Donkey Kong and is great! I also picked up the Atari Vault 2 for 4.99 as well. It came with Atari Vault 1 and a free Missle Command Recharged 2020 version and a free demo game. I also signed up for the Antstream Free version. I am all set!

    How can you tell the difference between real traffic and indexing or AI generation bots?
  • The Helper The Helper:
    The bots will show up as users online in the forum software but they do not show up in my stats tracking. I am sure there are bots in the stats but the way alot of the bots treat the site do not show up on the stats
  • The Helper The Helper:
    New recipe is Shipwreck Dinner - https://www.thehelper.net/threads/recipe-shipwreck-dinner.193511/
  • Varine Varine:
    I want to build a filtration system for my 3d printer, and that shit is so much more complicated than I thought it would be
  • Varine Varine:
    Apparently ABS emits styrene particulates which can be like .2 micrometers, which idk if the VOC detectors I have can even catch that
  • Varine Varine:
    Anyway I need to get some of those sensors and two air pressure sensors installed before an after the filters, which I need to figure out how to calculate the necessary pressure for and I have yet to find anything that tells me how to actually do that, just the cfm ratings
  • Varine Varine:
    And then I have to set up an arduino board to read those sensors, which I also don't know very much about but I have a whole bunch of crash course things for that
  • Varine Varine:
    These sensors are also a lot more than I thought they would be. Like 5 to 10 each, idk why but I assumed they would be like 2 dollars
  • Varine Varine:
    Another issue I'm learning is that a lot of the air quality sensors don't work at very high ambient temperatures. I'm planning on heating this enclosure to like 60C or so, and that's the upper limit of their functionality
  • Varine Varine:
    Although I don't know if I need to actually actively heat it or just let the plate and hotend bring the ambient temp to whatever it will, but even then I need to figure out an exfiltration for hot air. I think I kind of know what to do but it's still fucking confusing
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Maybe you could find some of that information from AC tech - like how they detect freon and such
  • Varine Varine:
    That's mostly what I've been looking at
  • Varine Varine:
    I don't think I'm dealing with quite the same pressures though, at the very least its a significantly smaller system. For the time being I'm just going to put together a quick scrubby box though and hope it works good enough to not make my house toxic
  • Varine Varine:
    I mean I don't use this enough to pose any significant danger I don't think, but I would still rather not be throwing styrene all over the air

    Another bot invasion 493 members online most of them bots that do not show up on stats
  • Varine Varine:
    I'm looking at a solid 378 guests, but 3 members. Of which two are me and VSNES. The third is unlisted, which makes me think its a ghost.

  • The Helper The Helper:
    I bitch about Xenforo sometimes but it really is full featured you just have to really know what you are doing to get the most out of it.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is just not easy to fix styles and customize but it definitely can be done
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do know this - xenforo dropped the ball by not keeping the vbulletin reputation comments as a feature. The loss of the Reputation comments data when we switched to Xenforo really was the death knell for the site when it came to all the users that left. I know I missed it so much and I got way less interested in the site when that feature was gone and I run the site.
