Or set up your IrDA driver for a dongle that it does not really recognize.

Settings was utterly useless for this. Long live the control panel!

It was an old '87 Pontiac Bonneville. It had a 350 and had some oomph. The thing was built like a tank. I loved it!

My favorite thing of all was the fact that it would automatically turn on the headlights when it was dark and this feature was called the ''Twilight Sentinel''.

I always thought it sounded like some epic fantasy novel or game.

Yep. I got hit with this this morning when I turned on my TV before heading work.

I thought to myself ''Well... I hadn't planned on suing you but now I'm not so sure. Lol''

Yeah. This is complete BS and has me looking at computer monitors for a suitable replacement. I went ahead and agreed to their terms and my TV still works great but when it comes time to replace it, I'll be damned if I get another Smart TV.

Well... SNK had released a few installments of King of Fighters by the time Fighters Megamix was released, but other than that, yeah.

Sega definitely beat Smash Brothers and other titles to the punch.

I agree. They should have stuck with their ideas for several installments. Sega has way too many one-off games that are fantastic and deserve sequels.

Fighters Megamix was the best!!! I would quite literally hand over one of my kidneys for AAA remake.

Ha! Ya know, you're probably spot on with this. I think by this point they have a pretty long history of not paying.

Regardless, I still want to be a hacker. 😎

It's days like this that make me wish I were a 1337 h4x0r.

Whoever did this... you forever have my gratitude and you are an inspiration to us all.

 

Is there anything similar to a QR code that works offline?

Say I have a flyer that I want to discreetly distribute and there is no internet.

Is there something like a QR code that contains the data itself and not just a URL?

This way someone with no data plan could scan the icon/code with an app and the unrecognizable bits and bytes from the icon/code would show up on their screen as a .JPEG of a flyer or something.
