Hardware How to fix joy con drift
I think the only effective "cheap fix" is to order a cheap analog stick from some Chinese alibaba etc., and then replace it yourself.
That would probably be below $10, perhaps $5.
Not sure how hard is to import such a piece from Brazil.
AFAIK, joycons' analog sticks are hard to fix and they break again very quickly, so you should replace them with a new one.
Something about a carbon/graphite paint wearing out and becoming dust, and this dust producing the false readings.

Isn't there an temp way? idc if it starts again, i need an easy way to do it, blowing on it with the rubber skirt lifted didn't work but ill try again.
And i don't play much on it anymore cuz of this. So maybe the problem has fixed itself.

I guess you can open the analog stick and clean it, but that would work for a short time.
It seems that keeping the analog stick pressed, as in e.g. some case that pushes the sticks, makes the problem worse.
Here a video discussing this problem:
oh the ninjas...

To be clear, expect the replacement stick to eventually go bad as well if you actually use it, because it still has the same design flaw. Its a far less temporary fix, but still temporary.
Well, everything will go bad, nothing lasts for ever. Even life is a "temporary fix".
Do the old trick of using a Q-Tip with alcohol and clean the Joy Con under the Controller flap. It's a temporary fix, but it's a cheaper and easier way to clean it before buying another analog stick. It's good for the time being if you're thinking on replacing the Analog stick.

I just bought these in bulk, worked out less than £2 a stick and I have made a bit of pocket money on the side replacing mates ones.

I used a tiny pin and a small drop of lens cleaner under the rubber flap (Alcohol free & evaporates fast). I didnt want to but its been an entire year for the Agni & Rudra-Cons so I tested it on them. I did the neons after.
Now they work like they're fresh out the box and feels smooth

Also another 70TB going in the front mount drive bays of this server. 182tb raw, going to probably use a zfs RAID-Z3 for 3 parity disks, so 140TB usable

I could claw back 14tb by only doing 2 parity disks but I feel like with 13 disks in the RAID I'd be kind of pushing my luck on rebuild time if I encounter a disk failure
