Can I pick a PC? x86 is retro, right? /joke

But seriously, probably the PS2. Mainly because it’s the only console I got as a kid and also because it’s the last console before games and consoles started wanting to phone home over the Internet. I have PS3 games that I’m pretty sure are permanently hampered or unplayable because their servers are offline, but I feel confident I can still boot any PS2 game I own and play it without issues.

Careful, you have to also add --no-preserve-root to make sure you get all of it out. If you leave the roots, it’ll just grow back later!

(But seriously, don’t actually do this unless you’re prepared to lose data and potentially even brick your computer. Don’t even try it on a VM or a computer you’re planning to wipe anyway, because if something is mounted that you don’t expect, you’ll wipe that too. On older Linux kernels, EFI variables were mounted as writable, so running rm -rf / could actually brick your computer. This shouldn’t still be the case, but I wouldn’t test it, myself.)

Reddit is bringing back r/Place — a collaborative project where individual users can edit pixels on a giant canvas

More details here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R/place

The team is bringing back some of the games by integrating the Ruffle emulator for the now-defunct Adobe Flash, and more than 50 games will be brought back starting on July 25th. Over the long term, “we hope to convert many of the most beloved games to HTML5,” TNT says.

TIL! Thanks for the clarification.

I think that might be the codecs’ fault. At least for me, my headphones sound terrible in headset mode on all the devices I’ve tried, regardless of whether they’re running Linux, MacOS, iOS, or Android.
