It is awesome to see how the environment affects electronics, and this is a prime example of such.
It’s also funny that this is impacting speed runners lol, imagine having an advantage/disadvantage based on the age of your console.
Congress will move swiftly to ban old consoles from competing with young consoles.
Wouldn't be the weirdest thing, binning consoles and diskdrives is a common strat.
sorry but you misspelled it twice. it's adventiage
Fixed! Now I noticed that the phone app doesn’t properly show the red squiggly lines 😅
Sweet. At least you have a sense of humor 👍
