    You adjust your DS screen potentiometers using your gut. I adjust my DS screen potentiometers with the FLICKER ADJUSTER test from Nitro EVA. We are not the same.

    Anyways one of my friends is willing to flash Nitro EVA to my dev cart. Definitely not gonna be a legit cart, but it'll still be cool to have running. Can't wait! (but I have to cause it'll be a month or two from shipping maybe lol)

    I was dreading reopening an old conversation because all I could remember was how awkward and weird I was. I left it for months and the every time I thought about my messages I felt really stressed. Today I finally checked my messages and found out it was actually a really good conversation. I should have just opened it from the start and saved myself from my pessimistic imagination.

    I feel bad all the time leading up to that, but I guess I feel proud enough at myself for finally looking that I kinda skip over that. Like yeah sure the other person was left hanging, but look I finally did something!

    I forgot to say before but just when I thought apple season was over I got another free apple. Honestly not sure how I manage to luck out on this stuff. Many bushels of free apples, a free iPhone 8, and now a free MacBook. This is more powerful than all my other computers combined.

    I met someone at the coffee place who has the same hyperfixation on DS stuff as me. It's the only thing I can focus on/care about and I'm overly exited about every little DS related thing (and never for anything else). I think I annoy a lot of people because it's all I like. Finally though I have someone in real life that is just like me. We've met up a couple times and spent hours fixing things.

    I don't think I really explained this well, but tl;dr is that we've got the same "addiction" to electronics, we struggle the same ways in school because of that, we have the same attitudes, and we know the same things. He's like a long lost clone (or I'm the clone idk).

    Its great that you have met a friend who have the same interests as you. All I can think about the most right now is DS stuff, I like to fidget and screw around with consoles to see how they work. But my most hyper fixated thought right now is DS flashcarts.

    I've helped a friend of mine out with trying to get N-Card clones (i.e., DS Linker) to be mountable on GodMode9i, so I can screw around with the contents, which is now finally possible. I've also reverse engineered one of the updaters that were originally supplied on the manufacturers website (thankfully archived on Linfox Domain), regarding a simple CRC checksum check.

    Still messing around with photo editing on my new old iPhone. Definitely not great end photo, but I still like how much editing helped it suck less. The colors bleed a bunch in the end but there's no haze and the fainter parts of the screen pop out a bit more.

    I think if I took a better photo at the start (maybe by not holding the phone against a small microscope in the air) I might've been able to get something much better.

    Though hey, it still probably makes for a decent enough pfp and I've been wanting a new one for a while.

    xp showed me an interesting thing a while back. The programmers of the DSi dev app DS Game Card to SD thought that the secure area couldn't be read! Nintendo developers working on the TwlIPL repo. You'd think they of all people would be able to figure it out. Here's a comment from the source code: (CardToSD/src/NitroGameCardToSD.c)

    I've started understanding tiny bits of javascript from editing a web music player. I wanted to use it to have a little music host on my site but thought the player needed a couple small edits. I didn't know anything before but now I know a few new and useful things. Also here's my edit vs the original.

    I didn't change that much but I still feel kinda proud that I figured it out. It used to stop playing after each song so I made it continue, I made more album covers fit in the side bar, and I made track marks where you can click them and it'll skip to the song you want.

    "You can't replace X component, it's soldered onto the board"
    Uhhhh rework stations exist? My HP Stream has a failing 32gb eMMC. It's unusable so I want to replace it. I looked up if anyone has made a guide but noo, it's soldered and "impossible"

    I'd also suggest backing up your data NOW if it's Qualcomm-based, as you'll probably have to format the user partition due to the cryptography shit.

    Edit: oh it's Celery, you'll be fine.

    Although you'll need to back up some BIOS-related blobs from the previous eMMC before it dies. You probably need to use some external hardware to dump it, as to my knowledge the BIOS locks access to the "protected" parts if you try to read it from the OS.

    D*mn! Somewhere we took the wrong turn.
    Back then: Remove failed 2.5" HDD(SSD), insert new 2.5"HDD(SSD) done. Same for newer things like M.2
    Now: This is soldered to the motherboard. This may be married to something else.

    What I mean is that if you have multiple apples, so more than one apple, then you have big hands to carry a lot.

    It's the "how do you have very large hands to..." bit. It makes sense to say I must have big hands, but asking how I have big hands doesn't make sense to me.

    I recently got an iphone 8. I wanted to play music and internet radio on it but everything in the app store keeps shoving ads in my face and has a clunky interface. Really frustrating! But hey, I can't complain since going directly to the stream URLs will always ad free and clean to use. I've got play and pause in the browser and FF/RW in iOS. All I really need.

    The xbox has been on for a couple hours now with no issues. I think all is good? Ignoring the horrible layout of the wires, I think my actual soldering was a bit better than my average. Though I did finally get lead solder again and that seems to make every job go better.
