Does anypuppy know what kind of adapter I need to make my Xbox 360's audio compatible with headphones/3.5mm jacks? I'm seeing people say 3.5mm to optical but I'm not certain my 360 has an optical jack. Would it be better to get a converter for the AV component instead? I'm using my monitor as a screen since I have no TV and it only seems to take VGA and HDMI. I hadn't even thought about how a console that old would use an AV component instead of being fully HDMI compatible LMAO. Wouldn't be an issue if I had a CRT

Kembali

Yang sudah ditakdirkan untukmu, pada akhirnya akan kembali padamu. meski pernah menggenggam erat lalu hilang, sejatinya jika ia masih takdirmu, dengan izin Allah ia akan kembali padamu Sazzadiyatan

beberapa bulan lalu mungkin sekitar bulan Oktober aku kehilangan pouch seperangkat kelengkapan mengajarku. di dalamnya terdapat 2 converter HDMI to VGA, flashdisk, pulpen dan beberapa makanan ringan. aku sudah berikhtiar mencarinya di kelas kelas yang di hari kehilangannya aku mengajar disana, di sudut-sudut kantor, dan tempat tempat yang aku lalui hari itu juga bertanya kepada beberapa petugas kebersihan di sekolah.

namun sia-sia sudah satu minggu hilang, aku tidak menemukannya, dengan hati yang sedikit kesal aku harus mengikhlaskan karena sejatinya barang barang tersebut baru aku miliki selama 2 minggu. Sedih tentu, selain karena kehilangan aku akan kerepotan meminjam converter tersebut ke bagian tata usaha setiap akan mengajar. namun seiring waktu aku sedikit demi sedikit melupakannya. qodarullah wa maa shaa faala

Lalu kejutan Allah mengagetkanku, pouch yang sudah aku ikhlaskan kehilangannya tidak sengaja aku temukan di laci sebuah kelas saat aku mengajar, aku bertanya tanya ke anak anak untuk memastikan, dan pada akhirnya aku yakin itu adalah milikku. tentu aku tidak menyangka sebelumnya akan menemukan kembali setelah berbulan bulan tidak tahu dimana pouch itu berada.

setelahnya aku merenung, mungkin ini adalah cara Allah untuk mengajari dan mengingatkanku, sebaik baiknya sesuatu jika itu ditakdirkan dan baik untuk kita meski pernah hilang, suatu saat akan kembali. namun jika memang tidak kembali sederhana saja itu bukan terbaik untuk kita, atau bahkan bisa bermanfaat untuk orang lain.

wahai diri yakinlah Allah memberi dan mentakdirkan sesuatu untuk kebaikan Dunia dan Akhiratmu, namun jika itu dijauhkan bahkan menghilang darimu, sejatinya Allah menjauhkanmu dari hal hal yang buruk untuk dunia dan akhiratmu. jangan lupa untuk terus berkhusnudzon kepada-Nya bahwa rencana-Nya akan membawamu kepada kebaikan dan keberkahan. walam akun biduaika rabbi syaqiyya

Gresik, 28 Januari 2024- setelah tidak sengaja melihat sosokmu dengan binar bahagia berjalan dibawah rintik salju, Allahu yahfadzuka

battlestation update got a vga to hdmi converter now we gamin as god intended 4:3 baybeee

[thatbendyfan]

I would heavily recommmend a thrift store run! I always find cheap monitors there! 10 bucks for a monitor, plus like 10 more for a VGA to HDMI converter on Amazon, and you're golden. Not always perfect color of course, but if you have multiple monitors you can look at more diff ways.

damn that’s a really good price, sadly my parents are already pissed off enough that i spend so much time on my laptop i don’t think they would let me spend money on extra screens

wasn’t there like a website that lets you see colors through a bunch of different monitor types or something? i remembered seeing it a while back but i don’t remember what it was called
