    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.

    Also here's the original https://github.com/codewithsadee/music-player

    make sure that if you ever add music that artists submit, they are paid zero dollars to be a true Spotify clone !

    "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"

    Gallery of frustration:

    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.

    Go to hell.

    I'm sorry everyone... I- I've played honkai star rail and... uhm... I enjoyed it. Please forgive me, I just need help. I was in a bad place. It doesn't excuse what I did but know that I want to grow and change. Please... don't leave me.

    Another free apple. I've gotten 3 bushels of apples from random trees around the city. Pretty amazing how much is out there!

    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.

    Also wow why does apple have to have everything feel so restrictive. I could jailbreak but I set a passcode so I'd have to reset in order to do that. I'll be lazy and deal with silly apple for now I guess.

    It's bricked so no worries about charges. Also look at this cool tamper protection. There are only a few traces here, believe it or not.

    I'm fixing an xbox in return for a 1tb hard drive. The poor xbox had a leaky clock capacitor and the power lines got eaten through. Or something like that. I haven't so much as touched an xbox in 7+ years, but my friend who owns it doesn't know how to do smd soldering and thinks I could do it lol. We'll see...

    Finding a 1 hour version of a song and finding out they looped the same 2 minutes (including the start/end pauses) over and over. AAAAAAAAAA now I have to pull out some audio editor again and see if I can make a nice loop.

    I made the nice loop. The first 3 cuts are at 1:48, 3:28, and 5:08. I think it's good enough to not be tooooo noticeable... unless you're me lol

    I love this unending stale feeling. I might've complained about it a while back. If I did, everything still feels stale the majority of the time. Very weird and unfun.

    My earbuds wore out at the port again. I realized that the audio cable I used at the end moved around a lot, so I'm trying the other half but with sewing needles stuck through it to keep it from bending too much.

    Fixing the same pair of earbuds over and over is inspiring me to try new things (some very stupid) to prevent breaking in the same exact spot. It's fun to see how much I can improve it to not break.

    Earbuds have the worst cables, seriously.
    You should get some with a removable/replaceable cable. Replacement cables can be as cheap as $2-$3.

    Jekyll my beloved <3
    Learned about data files and now instead of putting in the links by hand, jekyll auto generates all the info from a CSV.
    1696299397831.png

    I've got ever single program listed here, so I just have to give it the name and it'll make links, get all the info, create warnings if the program is unsafe, etc

    As you can see the CSV has plenty of info. I'm really glad I found out about that. My website isn't well made and hasn't been since I first made it, but I keep finding little things like this that really improve it and make it not painful to edit.

    And best of all my horrible n00b jekyll logic disappears when the site is built.

    I'm jekyllmaxing so hard rn. Now I just write the text for a page and it builds everything else. I can be lazy again and not worry about updating things on every page when I decide I don't like something.
    rvtr
    I just released the DSi stuff I was mentioning! Development classroom NANDs, a MangaON NAND, a new devcart, etc. I can't share the link here due to silly TOS, but I can guarantee you'll find the release page through my website, twitter, or discord server.

    Good luck finding it and I hope you enjoy!

    Oh fuck I should update that.
    I don't want to put releases up there as much because they could appear on google somehow and ruin results for my "real" site. Sad if people find this and don't have a link. TwlNmenu without a link is fine since it's easy enough to find, but these dumps would be much harder.

    But yeah at least I could add a KART page and update everything else.

    If you're having trouble getting results on your actual website to appear on Google then i think it's probably fine
    (as in, if you don't do anything to force Google, nothing will happen)
    Besides, it's not hard to find the version that you would rather people see

    Two bad dumps can make a good dump. I really shouldn't tease a release when I'm far from being done, but here we are.

    Curious, when was that? If there's an older update that works then I might want that. The melonDS I have now doesn't work with dev NANDs (white screen) but maybe different versions are better.
