It will probably require opening the player.

I did a quick search for that thing…
A (partially) water resistant device is more or less sealed and clicked together pretty tight (or even contains a ton of adhesive). Rarely as easy as opening some screws.

it's pretty worn-out already. the clip fell off, the protective seals for the headphone jack and the charging port have already fallen off, one earbud went out on the included earbuds, i lost the maunal, and the cover for the volume buttons is already off (i peeled it when i was trying to find out what was wrong with the volume up button) and the volume up button fell out. i mean, before it fell out it was so jammed in there that i could just make a hole in the plastic covering. and also this little white thing fell out with it.

I don't see the reason why… it is extra effort to prevent the forum software from embedding videos (I find them annoying).
But… okay:

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme

    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

    anyways, we need to re-normalize physical media

    if i didn't want my games to be permanent, then i'd rent them

    Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.

    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
    +1
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm

    i like physical media because it actually feels like you own it. thats why i plan on burning music to cds
  • cearp @ cearp:
    It's nice to not have to have a lot of physical things though, saves space

    Nor clothes 🤮 . Saves on time, soap, water and money having to wash them. :D

    @rqkaiju2, Physical media is a great source for archiving your data, none of that cloud storage shiz.
