Your Xbox 360 can run homebrew

Read or follow along at your risk. Improperly doing stuff like this is not a good thing. This is obviously not official.

With the advent of an exploit kind of thing called Bad Update, any Xbox 360 can run software that you want. Sadly this doesn’t work 100% of the time but it’s a nice/cool new thing to experiment with. Mainly I wanted to use it for something I always thought about in a way, that was playing emulators.

You should use RSS

I still have yet to implement it properly on my own website but RSS is very interesting. I initially didn’t take too much interest because I thought “Why would I need to?” which was just wrong. It’s a very useful tool that can help you stay informed and support smaller blogs or other things that interest you.

RSS feeds will usually automatically update with the content a blog or whatever publishes it. It’s very useful when you are talking about update notifications. Take the Home Assistant blog as an example. Every major release is a blog post and is sent to an atom feed. Now, I can actually learn about the update when it’s released and I can stop forgetting to check for them. Of course it’s really dependent on if you care about it. Do you personally care about a blog or something else enough to be notified about changes? I would say the majority of people would say yes but if you were like me and just didn’t use it before, I implore you to try it. There are so many options.

Don’t forget to backup

Things are very expensive and data loss is an event which only makes things more expensive. It’s easy to forget because of things like iCloud but you need to back up your files, at least one time somewhere. Your current way of storage is not always safe in terms of forever lasting as a backup solution. You might not even consider iCloud or other services as “backup” but as storage. Simply storing more of your files will lead you to run out of storage on your phone or other devices. You need to dump all of your things somewhere and Apple makes it easy in that sense, they might even constantly bug you to pay for a plan.
