Not many options I guess. Sucks to have to gamble on the crazy billionaire with a lot of faulty shit.

I can’t believe anyone willingly got this after the monkey testing thing. They have to be taking advantage of people not fit to make decisions for themselves.
- Comment on iFixit hails replaceable LPCAMM2 laptop memory as a 'big deal' 3 days ago:
So I guess it was UV epoxied after soldering and he put new epoxy on with the new nand. Or something along those lines but the component is soldered in a typical way. The rotary tool being used to pull out the residual phone glue is excellent and I feel like I learned something useful even though I’m never going to do an iPhone ram upgrade.

Can we put AI in better things? Like my lower back and my knees. It could promise things like walking without pain.
- Comment on Here’s How That Disney 360° Treadmill Works 4 days ago:
I’ve recently been thinking about what I am calling double or compound walking where you walk with both the joystick and your real body for potentially combined movement speed. I don’t have enough room to verify if it works in any games but after I move I have a decently long hallway I could test it in. My thinking is to work around the abysmal stamina in the vr games I’ve played so far and weirdly slow movement speed.

I’ll buy it when its in a laptop with coreboot, which is probably never.
- Comment on Hades 2 early access launch on Steam reaches over 100k concurrent players 24 hours after launch 4 days ago:
When I was younger and had more time to not worry about merely existing, I used to enjoy chasing the updates and trying to find every glitch and exploit and do as much silly shit as possible before patches went live.

I have one as a screwdriver bit so I just toss them in a bin of misc metal bits.
- Comment on Kobo and iFixit partner for OEM parts and repair guides 1 week ago:
I ordered it even though I have a perfectly good libra 2 that I use all the time. Mine hasn’t arrived yet. If I like it I’ll give my mom the non colour otherwise she gets the colour. Even though I normally avoid unreviewed devices I’ll give kobo the benefit of the doubt once as the Libra 2 is an excellent device.

- Comment on Reverse emmc/microsd adapter 1 week ago:
I’ll have to look in to this as well. Certainly less scary than my freehand hot air bga rework attempts. Actually I don’t know why I never thought of this before. Maybe I was blinded by having access to the waffle press looking thing for connecting unsoldered emmc chips.
The usage of a USB SD adapter hacked in makes me think that my original idea is at the very least not impossible, though admittedly convoluted.
- Comment on What's this thing called? 1 week ago:
As others have said they look like jst but I always get the sizes wrong so I just stock all of them. You need the metal crimp bits and the white housing, as well as a crimper.
You strip like 2mm of the wire sheathing and crimp the short blades over the bare wire and the long ones over the sheathing which gets punctured. The crimper curls the blades towards the center when aligned well. For the really tiny ones you need the crimper with the doubled up die that crimps both sets of blades at the same time. The bigger ones you might be able crimp each side separately if the tool fits. With the tool that does it in one go I use my fingernails or tweezers to place the crimp end in the die/jaws of the crimper, click the minimum number of times for it to stay while not bending it too much, then put the stripped wire in really carefully without bending the strands before squeezing the remaining clicks in the crimper. I’ve also seen people bend the bigger blades by hand to make it stay on the wire then put the whole thing in the tool but I can’t do it that way myself.
I moved most of my tools to my new place ahead of the actual move in date and the piece in the pic is just found on the floor or I would have sent better examples of the tools and some failed and successful crimps. I recommend the kit and anticipating a few wasted metal pieces because they are tiny and fumbly and the tool feels ridiculously huge.

Well the trailer wasn’t what I was expecting. The modern city backdrops seem a bit odd. I guess if the story works it could be okay but it feels kinda mismatched asset flip from the trailer alone.

It’s totally so they can list a really low “starting at” price and then upsell marked up parts in the configurator.

Dunno about him, but for me I forget to update it and then when I remember it can’t update and I end up having to just reinstall the latest version and jump through hoops to get the users files to show up, and then one time before as well as the most recent one that made me give up database problems occurred and I don’t know how to database.

The scrolling is really janky and it makes it hard to read, or rather to stay focused. Once I feel like I found the correct pace for the fancy scroll segment, it just rockets past the entire text until the next specialty scroll which moves slower than expected giving the feeling of slamming into corn starch water.

Isn’t that a bad thing? I thought that was the whole point, if you separate the part where the guy was just doing a social experiment to see if people would buy into total nonsense.

Hopefully this will be good. It could be the new starter printer of choice if the capabilities actually compare to the vorons.
I’ve already decided to do a welded frame diy for my next printer but I’ll be waiting to see if I can recommend this one to friends.
