  • Wow, the shell on my old DS lite is really bad. I'm seeing some small cracks in the plastic, and the power switch just broke. I must've really treated it horribly as a 10 year old.

    I didn't want to order a new power switch so I just soldered on two bits of wire. If I want it on or off, I just stick them together for a half second.

    If you want to get a new shell for your DS lite, you can't, many of the replacement shells are cheap pieces of crap. You better be off getting a broken DS lite and using the shell from that.

    @M4x1mumReZ I've got some switches from other electronics, so I'll just use one of those. A switch is a switch. Couldn't hurt too much to use some random one. Or maybe it will and I'll be screaming about it in a few days.

    I just saw a listing in my city for a $25 DSi XL that has a broken touch screen. It just so happens that I found my bricked DSi XL a few weeks ago (all the hardware is good). I think I'll buy it and swap the screen.

    The 3DS owner from my blog has been really fucking annoying. We've scheduled to meet multiple times so I can give him his console, but he hasn't showed up. We're in the same school, and we've both got a whole hour to do whatever during lunch. There's no excuse for not showing up.

    Sorry. I just hate it when people waste my time like this. I've been really good to him, I tried fixing that console to the best of my ability, and I put up with all of his dumb requests like gluing the shell back together. I think I deserve the smallest amount of respect, right? Is it too much to ask to not be bailed on time and time again?

    I fixed my friend's DSi today. She bought it second hand and idk how but the camera ribbon cable came loose.

    Because I do small things like that, people in my school think I'm some super DSi/3DS hacker repair person. I swear these people will go nuts over the littlest of things.

    Hell, I was dumping a couple titles with gm9 one time and my classmates wouldn't stop staring. It's literally just gm9. It's not that impressive.

    But hey I can't complain because at least this means people will pay me to fix their broken shit.

    I think I'll set up a dead drop or two in my city. I've always been interested in them. Having a sort of public storage for my city just seems cool. It may not be safe, but if I use a quarantine computer I might find some cool stuff.

    Very interesting, be safe. Sounds like it could be dangerous and you never know what messed up stuff might be shared there

    My laptop's charging port snapped.

    I thought I could get a replacement from an older version of my laptop (we had one in the basement) but the cord ended up being too short. I couldn't find a way to make it reach the outside of the case, so I decided punch a hole in the back, right above where the charging port plugs in to the mobo.

    It works well enough.

    You know what's really fun? Finding some obscure artist from decades ago, who there is little to no information on. You want to download all their music, but it's really frustrating because there's one song referenced in multiple sites, but none of the sites have or link to any recordings of the song. Once you finally manage to track down the song, it's fucking awesome.

    I had that today and I jumped around the house for like 10 minutes, blasting the music as loudly as possible. Best feeling ever!

    I've done a lot of walking in the past year.

    I've walked in almost every area of my city, I've walked to most small towns within walking distance of my city, and I've reached a good pace of 6 km/h (I can go up to 7 for short periods of time).

    Everyone thinks I'm insane, but it's fun to walk.

    I am so glad I downloaded the student portal for my school board. Never before have I seen a more disgusting and poorly designed website. They've had this same style for years, and only just now changed it. Rest in peace to the old ui.

    and with awful formating. why is there no dash in 2022-2023, or a slash...or a space...literally anything imbetween
    likely though it's just the case that it was done by the lowest bidder. if it's cheap it's good enough in there eyes I suppose. a bit sad
