My guess would be that Yahoo is one of the few search engines with some sort of affiliate program, so if the scammers can get a browser to redirect all searches - with their affiliate code attached - they can make extra money after the initial infection. Maybe Yahoo’s has some of the loosest requirements for signups, which would explain why it shows up most often?

I haven’t looked at pricing in a long time, but I got my (New) 3DSXL around 2015, and it is still one of my favorite devices to game on. I have an Odin2 Portal that I use to emulate all the good handheld and console systems, as well as streaming from my gaming machine with Moonlight, and there are still times that I just prefer to dive into a 3DS game instead. I guess it’s kind of hard to explain, but it’s just one of the best executed handheld gaming consoles ever, and the 3D aspect of it really takes the experience up a notch (I know it’s not for everyone).
Anyway, probably at least partly due to being developed for before there were incessant in-app purchases and microtransations and whatnot - I regularly say to my partner that if we had to leave quickly in a fire, I’d grab my 3DSXL first. I think that even though it has been replaced by a newer series, the vibe and charm of 3DS games is pretty hard to match.

Good find, thanks! Kind of annoyed I can’t set those values in Prowlarr to automatically propagate to all the *arrs, but still good to have the option once Prowlarr indexers are sync’d to other apps.

A whole single generation older. Not that I’m complaining, bc I absolutely don’t want that slop tech.
Drumpf, even.
