Android phone Voga V – stuck on android 7, but looks like iOS. MaximumRD 2023-12-30 | This Android phone was sadly banned by Google servers, it cannot access the Google Play Store as this particular model was banned by Google servers over licensing issues. Any options to run an alternative ROM such as various open source or Linux flavours have also failed. It is stuck on Android 7. All current means to get root access have failed however, I still find it useful by side-loading APK’s as well as downloading apps from Amazon, open source repositories etc. I like tinkering with it and it’s been useful, even more so since I found this launcher which mimics iOS quite well.
Found a couple minor items in Electronics Bin. Walking in the snow! MaximumRD 2023-12-10 | Another walk and ramble, more snow the next day after my walking around in a T-shirt just yesterday.

My new Lenovo Legion T5 replacing CyberPowerPc Desktop. MaximumRD 2023-10-15 | Truth be told this video should have been uploaded about three months ago. I have no excuse for not having uploaded it sooner besides procrastination. Though at least now I can say that having lived with the machine this past three months++, I am very happy and satisfied thus far. While certainly not the highest-end machine for our needs it is a nice little step up from the previous CyberPowerPC desktop which it replaces. I give some details regarding the specifications of both machines, as well as why the replacement and just a little bit of my usual droning on and on about things. So please, enjoy, I figured why not upload this now since it's been another long while since you've heard from me, hope you're all doing well, until next time.

Amiga styled login/loading screen on Garuda Linux MaximumRD 2023-05-28 | A super quick video displaying my chosen Login and Loading screens for my Linux Garuda install. Recently replaced our main laptop (Dell Inspiron, i5 CPU, 16GB RAM, no dedicated GPU) with BUDGET ASUS gaming laptop and figured I would install Garuda Linux on the old DELL, looks and runs great of course, loads fast but when considering some aesthetic options I just HAD to go with these AMIGA themed login/load screens for my own nostalgic pleasure.

Surprised to see THIS brand in the BIN ! MaximumRD 2022-12-29 | It's rare I find anything the last couple years worthwhile in the bin BUT I was very surprised when I peeked in, not so much the item as much as THE BRAND which is something back in the day I would have LOVED to have. NO I am not taking it as I have literally NO USE for it and these days just cannot be bothered with the details of testing / listing / selling. I never did but a friend of mine did (HEY TONY) so I just had to make this quick video for all you collectors and of course my friend TONY.

Question Colecovision historians - noticed a single cart not made in USA? MaximumRD 2022-08-21 | Looking few my very limited handful of original Colecovision games I noticed one of the Donkey Kongs was marked as MADE IN TAIWAN as opposed to all the others labeled MADE IN USA. Other than the obvious, I ask the Colecovision fans, historians and all those more knowledgeable, what are the details behind this? Was it this way right from the start or was it a deal made after launch and popularity of Colecovision requiring faster / cheaper production?
Bobs Garden Play sample no commentary (Mr. Do! clone for AMIGA) MaximumRD 2022-08-18 | Bob's Garden Play sample no commentary (Mr. Do! clone for AMIGA)Here I quickly and poorly sample the game using AMIGA emulator FS-UAE for PC - Bob's Garden - An excellent clone of the arcade classic Mr. Do! for the Commodore AMIGA. I love Mr. Do! with my favorite version being on the Colecovision, however, back in my AMIGA days I was thrilled to find this little gem for any ESC/OCS Commodore AMIGA since it was PD/Freeware and turned out to be a very playable version as well.

Story Time: Unboxing a replacement for my favorite 80s game console. MaximumRD 2022-04-18 | ITEMS unboxed purchased from RETRO MTL in Montreal Canada. Great prices, slection and service by gamers for gamers! I could not be happier with my purchase and highly recommend ! retromtl.comThis is from a few weeks ago now, I did not upload right away as I been going through some personal things and honestly, was not sure I was going to upload this in the end OR edit it leaving out certain "details" regarding some bad events but I have decided the hell with it. Sharing all the details on why the console needed to be replaced, it's not a good reason. I had only shared this previously with a few real close friends in messages as I tend to keep certain things personal as well as I don't like to dwell on bad things in my channel but well, sometimes it helps sharing and getting things off my chest and some of you have been with me for years so in the end I have decided to just upload this video and all the details including the story that goes with it. It's a long one and it was literally unscripted as always, I didn't even know I was going to share the details once the video started or if I'd simply let it be about the unboxing but it just sort of came out and I guess thinking about it there was a reason for it. Thanks for watching as always. Take care. Sincerely Rob aka MaximumRD.

Rambling about PS1/PS2 bootdiscs, HDD backups, Cheat Devices etc MaximumRD 2021-03-11 | This was some rambling I just did for Trey Simmons and Rick Rutiglianoabout something we were discussing in my Facebook Gaming Group ( facebook.com/groups/maximumrdclassic ) it is very spur of the moment, completely ad-lib and mostly incoherent 😆😜 BUT, I figured since I am talking about various PS1 / PS2 backup loader discs, Cheat Devices and accessories I might as well make it public on my channel, with poor memory and recollection and a lot of talking out of my butt PLEASE feel free to comment and add any details or corrections, I wont be offended believe me.
Driving through our first major snowfall in Kelowna, B.C. 2020 MaximumRD 2020-10-30 | NOTE: I do NOT typically wear a mask in our car, and we wear masks only wear requested / required such as medical appointments or where masses of people gather etc. I wore it in car this time as we were on our way to an eye exam but also to show the viewers the mask my wife made from an old Slimware utilities T-shirt that never fit me. 😆😎Just sharing for fun. Woke up to a major snowfall last week, it was very unseasonal for us this time of the year, a week later it's all but gone so it was either a freak thing OR who knows? Might be the way the weather is heading with changing climates. Please know that though I DO live in Canada unlike what many Americans and those outside Canada may think, my particular city located in the Okanagan is unlike surrounding B.C. cities like the very cold Winnipeg (often referred loving as WINTERPEG with good reason!) so this early huge snowfall came as we also experienced record low temps. What is the weather like in Okanagan?Average high temperature (summer): 28 C/84 F. Average low temperature (winter): -8 C/16 F. Average Hours of Sunshine: over 2000 per year. Average Rainfall: Approximately 300 mm/11in yearly.
