I know several people who bricked, claimed a system update bricked them and got the 3DS' fixed free of charge.
Until an influx of i bricked during an update bla blah takes place. Which is what put gamestop and Microsoft on alert many years ago during a ban wave.
it was 5.0.0-11 was causing bricks when it initially came out. or at least partial updates (left old NATIVE_FIRM). 5.1.0-11 fixed this.

Well I'm glad I'm not using Gateway then.


Me too..

Wait: I bought my first 3DS back in November 2011...so it probably came with a low firmware...so I had to update to 5.X at some point...yet it didn't brick since I still use the same console today...

the issues with 5.0.0-11 were pretty much by chance. some people got errors, some didn't.

I can install the hardmod...

If Nintendo has the slightest insight yet, they would be checking the cause off all the bricks. Hell Microsoft did it years ago with the 360.

Could you message me so we can make arrangements? I will give you a copy of Cubic Ninja if you can help restore my system

There's that Temp love I have come to expect. When someone can't do anything to help you, they just insult you and keep on rolling.

    If it's needed to keep you healthy it shouldn't cost you $90k. The fact that it does is an enormous problem

    but yeah, affordable is all i'm asking for

    And if the concern is that "well we can't trust the government to intervene for this because the government can't do anything right and wastes tons of money" then holy shit push for a better government.

    @K3Nv2 that's crazily expensive. how long will that take to pay off?

    Although diet is largely education, people don't need to go to university to learn what's healthy and what's not,
    it's the whole country, big corporations and advertising that is to blame for leading most of the population to believe that poptarts and froot loops are healthy to feed a child
  • mthrnite @ mthrnite:
    i would think the population knows better but with food deserts and abject poverty, sometimes a poptart gonna have to do.

  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    As someone who went through the grade school system in the US some time within the past 30 or so years, not nearly enough is done to promote and educate on how to eat healthy in a way that is feasible to do on a regular basis and also affordable. Eating healthy is, comparatively, fucking expensive. So is eating unhealthy, but in many cases eating unhealthy is more affordable than eating healthy

    Just go gummy, ancientboi would like you better that way anyways, and you save money on toothbrushes/toothpaste
  • cearp @ cearp:
    @Sicklyboy I agree, but also it's about self control and realistic thinking. We wouldn't feed a dog soda, so why feed it to ourselves? Eating unhealthy food because it's cheap is one thing, but I'm sure you know people who drink soda routinely when they should be drinking water which is free.
    I get it can feel mean to say "no treat sweet beverage for you anymore" but for many people it's just in their way of life.

    I drink soda twice out of the week
