Used a DS flashcart as an impromptu USB keyboard to set up a new PC

Today I was setting up a new PC and all of my USB keyboards are far away. I have this numpad/arrow keys and a mouse, and I can use them to get into and edit BIOS settings, but for the first startup I had to press Y. I reprogrammed my DS Pico (which has a raspberry pi pico inside) to just press Y when plugged in and it worked! Then I flashed the normal firmware back. Open source rules!

Help finding a rip

I recently heard Beware of Forest Mushrooms for the first time and thought it was familiar. Then I realized I could still hear HHgregg Christmas in July vocoded to that tune in my head. Now I've looked for the rip but I can't find it. Anyone know where it is?

What media source do you use for 1080p SDR sets?

Hello all, as of 4 years ago I'm the proud owner of a 65" ST50. I'm a young adult and living in a rented room so right now the plasma is hooked up to a roku stick in my parents' living room.

I have a few Blu-rays and 3D Blu-rays, and they look fantastic on the plasma. I picked up a few 4k HDR Blu-rays and can watch them on my (ancient Sony passive 3d 4k) LCD, but I have yet to try them on the plasma. I assume however that an Xbox one X will not be very good for tone mapping, and general wisdom seems to be that a tone mapped 4k disc will hardly if ever look better on a plasma than its 2k equivalent. Really I'm fine with that.

As for content from streaming services is it the same? Will it pull from a quality SDR master or try to tonemap an HDR stream? Does the streaming device matter? I think the roku stick usually looks really good but I want to know all of your opinions. Thanks!
