I turned my DevTerm into a Game Boy Camera and Printer — Max Glenister

tl;dr: “I forked mGBA to print Game Boy Camera output directly to a thermal printer.”

“The Game Boy Camera was brilliant and stupid in equal measure, a 128x112 pixel sensor bolted on top of a cartridge, printing to thermal paper on a Game Boy Printer the size of a brick. I got both for Christmas when I was 12 and somehow spent hours with them. The minigames are absurd, the image quality is aggressively awful, and the whole thing looks like a prop from a cheap sci-fi film. I loved it.”

Dirty printheads are one of the main causes of faded prints, streaks, and costly downtime. The solution? Regular, effective cleaning with high-quality isopropyl alcohol swabs.

MediTech’s Isopropyl Alcohol Cleaning Swabs are specially designed for thermal printer maintenance:
✔ Pre-saturated with high-purity IPA
✔ Lint-free material to prevent residue
✔ Gentle yet effective on sensitive printheads
✔ Convenient, ready-to-use format

Okay, this is kinda funny...

• #AIslop shitting out a better version of #WindowsRecall than #Microsoft is kinda absurd...

trying to distract myself from the #fascist #hellscape in my own backyard by doing a little fun coding project. i started with printing out #meshcore conversations on my #thermalprinter but then i really wanted to support #emoji use, so had to step it up a bit.

maybe encrypted, off-grid, decentralized communications is not really a distraction anyway. 🤔
