Modern sealed Pokémon boxes at MSRP are widely available in Japan while Western markets charge huge markups.

Pokémon Centers and konbini sell at flat retail. I found Mega Dream boxes at competitive prices in Himeji and Hiroshima.

If you are buying modern sealed product, Japan is the place to do it.

Skip Akihabara: 301 Real Pokémon Card Shops

301 shops across 20 Japanese cities. The guide serious collectors use before flying to Japan. Skip the tourist traps, find underpriced cards.

For modern Pokémon packs at retail price in Japan, start with Pokémon Centers and convenience stores.

7-Eleven, Lawson, NewDays, and FamilyMart sell at flat MSRP with zero markup. I grabbed packs at random konbini between shop visits.

Availability varies, but konbini packs are always retail price. Check the card aisle near registers.

The leaked files from the disclosure https://seclists.org/fulldisclosure/2024/Jun/7 have since been removed from https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com/t/Incorrect-code-generation-on-warbirded-b/10680249. Someone on Reddit (https://www.reddit.com/user/TapAppropriate1458/) posted a direct link to a download from azurewebsites.net that's been taken down now too. The #InternetArchive has the files still at:
https://web.archive.org/web/20240624211440/https://sendvsfeedback2-download.azurewebsites.net/api/fileBlob/file?name=B0cde770200a945109437927ba3fe4d67638537352993712632_ICE_REPRO.zip&tid=0cde770200a945109437927ba3fe4d67638537352993712632

Unfortunately I cannot verify whether those files/the link was the original file or a re-upload. But at least all files within `ICE REPRO.zip/Linker/linkrepro.zip' match the size (in bytes) of the originals as given in the listing on seclists.

The file download from there has the sha256 hash:

d4c1a74f81e5259596466027ebac9f7eb026931c7cef02e5c37d884bbbb7f96f ICE_REPRO.zip

In addition, the disclosure notes that the MS symbol server does (STILL ONLINE!) leak the PDB of warbird.dll if requested. A backup has been re-upped here: https://files.catbox.moe/8iz2qk.pdb

Again, the sha256 hash. This has been matched against the original served by the MS symbol server:

2e8b5e0c17b4a4693ed494444f347f22a2eed15bcade18a5ac25d370011f8aa5 warbird.dll.pdb

I provide those hashes just for people to be on the safe side while analyzing the files. Keep in mind that accessing those files may be illegal.

Full Disclosure: Microsoft leak of PlayReady developer / Warbird libs

@paulrickards I assume something based on the @Raspberry_Pi #PiPico / #RP2040 with a matching #Ethernet-HAT would be able to to it.

Espechally since that #uC is easy to obtain and relatively cheap (compared to a #Pi0 / #Pi0W which were used for the #DreamPi #Dialup adaptor and are still not widely available at #MSRP)...

The tricky part would be #Firmware, not #Hardware....

#Wifi232 #Ethernet232 #Modem #RS232

@SirTapTap considering the amount of #scalping of @Raspberry_Pi #RaspberryPi's and the fact that the #Pi5B will lilely not be available at #MSRP until the #Pi6B or #CM5 or #Pi500 get released, I can recommend to take a look at #ThinClients, because they have regular #amd64 #CPU's, plenty of ports, are almost always #fanless and also barely sip power.

I do use some #hp #t520 as #MiniServers to do #backups and #torrent #linux distros and just be things I can offload building OS/1337 to...

@fatsam I wished @Raspberry_Pi would improve availability of their products in general.

It can't be that there's no #distributor that has #CM3plusLite or #CM4Lite1GB or even #CM4WLite8GB at #MSRP!
