It’s not about education at this point, it’s about regulation. Without mandates and penalties there is zero incentive to change for the large corporate polluters.

Do you know if the new Messages “check-in” feature works with Android users? Or is it an iMessage feature only for other iPhone users?

I was briefly a moderator of a sub with a few thousand subscribers, the amount of spam alone made me give it up. It’s relentless and never stops. The only thing that made it tolerable was the mod features in Apollo. I can’t imagine what it’s like with some of these really active communities with millions of subscribers. People just don’t realize how prevalent the spam/harassment truly is online, and Reddit screwing over the volunteers who clean up that shit is enough to keep me off for good.

I’ve only been running a few services like AdGuard Home so I can’t speak to very heavy loads. I’ve had no issues with it. I probably wouldn’t run my Plex server on it but any regular network services should be fine.

I have mine sitting on a wire metal shelf so it gets plenty of air flow. I did misconfigure the Unbound DNS server to recursively query itself and CPU load was at 100% for several hours. I noticed it was warmer physically but it was not hot enough to give me any concerns. Still well within what’s safe to run.

I personally use a Qotom PC. Not sure if it fits your exact requirements since you can’t get a PCI card into it, but it does have 4x1Gb ports. Works really well with opnsense.

I probably need to go back and replay to make a more objective opinion, but I remember the feeling of Gen 2 with the day/night cycle, breeding and baby Pokémon, and then when Pokémon Crystal came out with animated sprites during battle. Definitely my favorite.

I’m curious to see how they’ve made the gameplay. I’ve briefly played the first one on 3DS and it really didn’t appeal to me. Felt like it was targeted to someone much younger, but this sequel with all the coffee references and references to the movie feels more like a nod to the movie which did really well with old timer fans.

The only things I can think of are

• You are misremembering something. Maybe it was a different Pokémon you saw, or you battled someone with it (although I looked and didn’t see any trainer in Leaf Green with a Murkrow…) Or you played someone’s Fire Red and conflated the two.
• Non-genuine cart with a hacked ROM has exclusives from Fire Red added.
• An unknown/undocumented glitch caused you to encounter it.

The latter two seem unlikely and the first one seems most plausible to me. I don’t mean any offense and I’m not trying to call you out. Just feels like the most likely explanation.

The games don’t forget which version they are so that can’t be it. It’s not a single ROM that gets marked as red or green, each game is compiled and built to be what it is on the cart.

Other than that I really can’t think of what it could be. I agree, searching around online I haven’t found anyone or any glitches to explain that happening. Weird!

They did this with the the Spyro trilogy remake. The cart contains only the first game and you have to download the others. Kind of defeats the purpose of buying physical.
