  • An ice tray to cold down a router.

    I changed ISP, the new one told me that it would take like a week to send me the credentials to use my own ADSL router 🙄, in the meantime I had to use the cheap-ass one they provided.

    The new service crashed like after five minutes of use, after some some back and force with the technical support unsuccessfully I notice that the router was extremely hot when the connection crashed and normal when it started to work again.

    It has not any cooling system, and being in the middle of the summer didn’t help either.

    So…. I tried to put an ice tray from the freezer on the router and it worked. To be “safe” I put a plastic bag between them to avoid any condensation dripping onto the device.






  • I had a Vita and I loved it, it was incredible compared to the PSP and 3DS.

    But the internal memory was a joke making the memory stick practically mandatory if you wanted to buy a game in the store, which being proprietary wouldn’t be an issue if it wasn’t expensive as hell.

    The catalog of games was really small (at least in Europe, maybe in Japan wasn’t the case). I loved the few games I had but every time I tried to go to the store to see if anything interesting had come out I was disappointed.

    The development platform for indies was a framework for mobile phone that was focused for Sony smartphones, so indie games couldn’t take full advantage of the console.

    It felt like Sony abandoned the console too quickly and let it agonise.
