The only way I'm allowed to die is if I sacrifice myself to save another life, if I die in a freak accident, or if I get some fatal disease that I didn't cause through my own actions/inaction. No suicide or preventable deaths for me. But I do think about those options an inordinate amount

Nor gaming, nor drugs, nor watching TV/YouTube/Twitch, nor homelabbing... this is a wake-up call

This could be bad news indeed. Sony has at least been releasing their exclusive titles on PC recently, so even if they go through with the acquisition we might still get future FromSoft games on PC (hopefully) but the tidbit about their anime and manga holdings is also troubling.

Now if only Elon could continue to tank the value of his businesses and ultimately get arrested too, that'd be great

Yes but even unsympathetic Dems aren't very likely to attack someone for their choice of sweatshirt

They need to get rid of postings that say $0 but are actually looking for money

Terribly unfunny, and a total waste of time, money, and effort for nothing. Plus it would've required a whole squad to uproot 60 trees in one night.

They have Bulleit for sure

There are also fringe externalities from this too. I have my mom's last name for my middle name and my dad's for my last name. But back in the 90s, my state would erroneously handle that scenario as having no middle name and both names hyphenated for a last name. I didn't find this out until I turned 18 and tried to get a retail job and they wouldn't hire me until it got fixed.

First I had to go to the Dept of Health and get a new birth certificate, then I had to do the same at the social security administration for a new social security card. Hours and hours over multiple days just so I could earn minimum wage folding and selling used clothing. Ironically, the name mixup never was a problem when I did taxes previously.

Yeah I no longer donate as well for this same reason. They are not hurting for cash

Hello fabulous fellow keeb enthusiasts! I have this really cool custom split ergo keyboard called a Dark Matter, and I think only 10 or so were made. I love typing on it, but I'm getting double inputs and the LEDs on the left side only work intermittently. Do you have any suggestions on how I could try to fix those issues? Do you think I need to resolder both PCBs entirely, just certain key switches, and/or all the LEDs? Reseating its teensy controllers did not fix the issue, for example.

Unfortunately the person who made these is not providing support for them so I'm on my own on this one.

Here's a reddit post I made 5 years ago when I first ran into these issues:

I'd appreciate any advice you can offer, thanks so much!

 

Hello all! I wanted to briefly share my experience modding my Steam Deck OLED, should it be of use for anyone else!

Here are the pics

It seems like most replacement button sets are fully compatible with the Steam Deck OLED, except for the triggers/shoulder buttons and replacement trackpad covers. The shells are compatible but I did not want to remove my screen + adhesive to do the front shell, so I just did the back. I did have to trim the silicone piece that the volume buttons connect to to get it to fit.

The gulikit hall effect joysticks that specifically mention Steam Deck OLED compatibility were easy to install and calibrate by running thumbstick_cal in desktop mode, and whether it is just placebo or not, they definitely feel more precise than stock!

I did not do extensive before/after thermal testing, since many people have done that before. I did repaste the APU with Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut Extreme as well since I had to remove the heatsink to get access to replace the power button

Here are the products I used:

Joysticks

Button set

Rear shell

Hello all!

I haven't followed the Switch homebrewing scene for several years, and could use some help! I have a v1 Nintendo Switch that I originally homebrewed using SXOS + SXOS Pro dongle. I know that SXOS is dead now, so I'm looking to update my setup to the current Switch homebrew platform. Is that Atmosphere? What is the recommended path for updating my homebrew setup? Can I still use my SXOS pro dongle with the new setup to launch custom firmware?

I came across this guide for example, is this still up-to-date?

Thanks in advance for any help you can offer! :)
