These things were very popular in the 1960s for the sole reason that they were affordable. Still very popular in Latin America actually!

Imagined posted:Turns out a blinking NES is a fix so easy you just need some needlenose pliers and a screwdriver. They didn't even use fancy security screws back then. Just got to clip a pin on the 10NES chip to disable it. The NES's version of DRM is what causes the blinking. It tries to connect to something in the cartridge to verify that it's authentic, and if it can't, it reboots the system and tries again, and tries again, and tries again. For whatever reason, that 10NES connection is way more sensitive than any of the rest of the cart. There are instructions all over the internet. I also got out and boiled(!) the 72-pin connector while I was in there to get it nice and sparkly clean and connecting tight again. The ps2 disc read error was similarly easy to fix, i had to do it back in the day.

You can use voice recognition for texting on a smartphone if you don't want to look at the screen.

Having a security guard on duty also reduces insurance costs for the company by a fair amount.
