My bedroom setup. I know it's not great, but I mow lawns for money and payed for it all on my own. Considering I live in California does help though cause it's always sunny. HP Laptop, 26" Vizio LCD HDTV, Xbox 360 Premium, Play & Charge Kit, Messenger Pad, Portable DVD Player, iPod Touch, and some games and movies.

Here is my setup. I switch between dual for my laptop and my 360 on the 20", and also switch them for audio on my Altec Lansing 2.1 speakers. Its a very enjoyable setup, and the Ikea Jerker helps alot :D.

My gaming setup:

I was a PC gamer once and always hated all that driver problems and game incompatiblities. Still, there were a lot of great games.

Tired of dealing with all that trouble I decided to go a different route.

New plan: Make everything simple, space efficient and portable.

So I sold that desktop pc and replaced it with a MacBook as my main machine. That notebook is more powerful than the last pc system I had, except in the 3d graphics corner.

Having no time to play games anyway I neglected gaming alltogether. But last year, when it got colder outside again I felt the urge to game again. Of course a gaming system had to be small and efficient.

So, i got myself a grey/silver DS Lite.

    • Still 3x what it should cost. So, it seems the trick is to increase price by 6x so that a reduction in price back to 4x looks like a steal. "You savvy shoppers win again!" I'm glad I'm not in a desperate spot to actually even need this overpriced crap. Hopefully, it comes back down by the time for when (or if) I ever do.
    • Although AI is great and has it's use cases they likely have massively overhyped it and it has not delivered as per their expectations. I fully expect them to start saying the same things again when it does get to a certain level of intelligence!
    • Microsoft wants to end printer driver headaches with Windows Ready Print by Usama Jawad A few days ago, Microsoft released Windows 11 Experimental build 26300.8553, bringing a ton of enhancements such as Start menu customization, search improvements, Taskbar polish, and other minor UI tweaks. Another relatively major enhancement snuck deep within the change log was related to upgrades to the Windows printing experience. Now, Microsoft has shared more details about these benefits. For starters, Microsoft has renamed its Modern Print Platform to Windows Ready Print. The company believes that this name highlights its shift in strategy, which now focuses on modernizing, securing, and streamlining the printing experience for Windows devices. Some of the upgrades present in Windows Ready Print have already been seeded to customers and partners. This includes ending support for third-party printer drivers via Windows Update and transitioning towards the Internet Printing Protocol (IPP) and the native Windows IPP printer driver. In line with these changes, new printer installations will default to Windows Ready Print on eligible devices starting from July 2026. However, Microsoft recognizes that not all environments will be able to migrate to this platform immediately, so it will allow users to choose between installing the printer via Windows Ready Print or the traditional OEM process. Users will be able to toggle this configuration through Settings > Bluetooth & Devices > Printers & Scanners > Printer preferences. This control applies only to new printer installations, and its functionality can also be modified via Group Policy as follows: Launch Group Policy Editor Navigate to Local Computer Policy -> Administrative Templates -> Printers Find and select 'Configure Windows Ready Print driver ranking' -> double click to open it Select 'Enabled' (if you wish to enable Windows Ready Print driver selection) or 'Disabled' (if you wish to explicitly disable Windows Ready Print driver selection). Select Apply Select OK Similarly, if you set up Windows protected print mode through the same setting in Windows 11, it will also default to using Windows Ready Print exclusively. Microsoft hopes that these improvements will help eradicate dependency on OEM-specific driver installation processes and simplify printer installations. We'll likely find out more about other tangible benefits in the coming months.
