Re:Searching for the Best Silicone USB Cable on Wednesday September 09, 2026 @12:43PM (#49629383)
100%, this is unfortunately what I've found, the vast majority of cables I've purchased so far are not genuine silicone
So happy you enjoyed it, it was a blast to build it together with the community and see what everyone has made with it, there are now over 100 games on it!
My time at RC has genuinely changed my life. I joined my first batch expecting to dust some rust off after being in management at my last gig, and found a community I will cherish for the rest of my life!

If you looking for community in tech I can't think of a better place.

Thanks! Yep author here -- you can fully reformat with `restorekit restore` or just restore the firmware (retaining the user disk) with `restorekit revive`. This is what apple calls these two different actions, but I found the naming a bit confusing when I first started looking into this too.

Open to any suggestions on how to make this clearer!

I've worked at a few places where windows was the default machine (including for IT) and macs were only issued when requested or required. A lot of times the IT folks are forced to use a macbook simply because they need one to recover and reset their fleet of macbooks. I've also seen companies forced to ship a whole new mac out to employees in locations without an apple store when a simple reset would have solved the problem. I think this sucks. People should be able to repair their mac without needing to own another one!

Hey op here: the goal was not to just get something working, it was to build it ourselves and learn along the way. And what's a better way to learn about how VGA works than to build a graphics card!

But for a little more context, we did purchase a few old AMD cards originally, but we were mostly interested in using modern hardware and possibly windows + webgpu (for certain games). We didn't want to rely on no longer manufactured parts and potentially unmaintained kernel drivers (like CRT emudriver).
