Printing e-Reader cards.

Trying to print custom e-Reader dot code cards: what else can I try?

I know this gets asked a lot, and the usual answer is "just emulate them," but I really want to print my own custom cards. Here's what I've tried so far, in case anyone has ideas.

Setup: HP OfficeJet Pro 9135 with the standard HP ink for this printer.

What I've tried (none have scanned):

Paper: HP Glossy photo paper, and the commonly recommended Canon Photo Paper Plus Glossy II Resolution: 600 DPI and 1200 DPI Color mode: Grayscale, and color with composite blacks

Here's my first print (black and white on HP color photo paper): https://imgur.com/a/VBRZ1re

Sorry about the photo quality; I took it through a loupe. The dots look fine to me, so I'm not sure what's going wrong. Any suggestions appreciated!

Dump HTC Titan Carrier Validation Unit ROM

I have an HTC Titan that is a Carrier Validation Unit, and I want to dump the current ROM that is installed just in case I want to go back and preserve this ROM. How would I go about that? Are these ROMs already preserved, allowing me to return to that version? If not, how would I back them up?

▲ 0 r/VHS

So I am looking for a reliable good VHS player.

So I originally bought a SONY SLV-685HF that I found on Facebook Marketplace. It didn't come with a remote, so I bought one. Literally no issues. I tried it on a VHS that I got from a pawn shop and it worked great. Cut to some time later, I moved to a new apartment and wrapped it up in bubble wrap and moved it to my new place. I picked up some old VHS tapes from my parents' house. I tried one of them and it got eaten, and I wasn't able to get it out. So I bought another one off eBay because I really liked this model. It came shipped in bubble wrap, I put in the other tape I had, and it ate that one too. I don't know if these two tapes I had were bad or if something else happened. I really want a VHS player for the RF signal to my HDMI video upscaler so I can play Famicom games. At this point I just want a good, reliable VHS player, preferably one that's premium or something that would have been amazing back in the day. Money really isn't an issue. I know "VHS" and "reliable" in the same sentence isn't always possible considering these things are really old.

Older Female Shiba Bumps

So I adopted an adult female Shiba several years back now. She came from a puppy mill as a breeding dog. She is now 13 years going on 14 and is having some health issues. I want to preface this with: I'm not looking for medical advice, as my vet is already aware of all these things. So around 2 years ago she developed a bump near her leg and a bump on her mammary area. I opted to get them removed, as I hoped that would be the end of it. It was like 1000 dollars, which was a lot of money, but I hoped that it would end there. Once we got the test results back, it showed that the one on her leg was a low grade myxosarcoma, a skin cancer. The vet said that it was completely removed and that the odds of it returning are low. So a couple of months later I noticed a few new ones in new locations, and had the vet look, and they suggested I get them removed as well. Well, at the time I lost my job and I couldn't pay for that, so, having no choice, I didn't get them removed. Now in the past month I have noticed a few more, and I am worried. I don't notice anything wrong with her: she has a lot of energy, runs around, plays, and loves to drink water and eat food. Another issue that she has is really bad teeth, and this has been a big concern for my vets; however, it is like 2K and I can't afford that. I don't really know what I want an answer on, maybe venting or maybe just advice. I figure I am at the point where I would just be removing bumps till she is gone and it won't make a difference regardless.

Alien Abduction! for the Atari 2600

Ok I know this is a homebrew and I should buy it and support it. However I hate supporting developers who refuse to sell ROMs so that you can play the game in an emulator. For that reason I am looking for a digital copy of Alien Abduction! for the Atari 2600
