I wish I had been alive when there low hanging fruit left in terms of things to invent that I could just slap my name on…

(Jk but if you wanna tell me how it’s not just a tube with a knob I could be into that 👉👈)

Apple’s chips are pretty good i hear

Lol, dude thinks any of these billionaires give an iota of a fuck how we plebs rank them 🤣

👅👢

Calling a billionaire “benign” then getting pissy when I give evidence to the contrary is weak shit.

Also, so long as we’re trading insults i think ill go with “Fragile Ego Piss Baby who thinks some boots don’t taste that bad”

He’s an Edison, he’s a Carnegie, he’s a Rockefeller. He’s a robber baron like countless before and that on its own is enough of a condemnation.

Dude single-handedly ruined many, many foss and other software projects because he couldn’t buy, bully, or otherwise get obscenely rich from. He would use windows’ reach to kill projects. “Windows ain’t done until wordperfect won’t run”

He played dirty to get his money and now that he’s “won” and has enough money for his family to be generationally wealthy for ever he’s donating amounts that don’t cut into his oligarch lifestyle. Guess he hired a good PR team though, cuz everyone seems to forget what he did to get so filthy rich.

Not to jump down your throat over it - I just hate that he’s managed to erase the shitty things he’s done by donating the money he got by doing shitty things.

Signaling to some sort of virtue, you say?

This whole “spend a ton of money to get your foothold, take over a market, then enshittify to bilk the users” shtik is getting very very old.

Fuuuck that

Thank you so much!! That’s a good point, I actually have a bunch of photos of the street - maybe I’ll print a couple and write the location on them :)

Appreciate the response! ❤️

Thank you! Mostly I just have to move it soon (moving across the country) and want to know how to keep the loose sand & pebbles in the grout from rubbing off

Search “switch hacking is easy” - there’s an ancient site that got dcma’d (or something) that is defunct but someone rehosted it under “switch hacking is still easy” on github.

That’ll help you tell whether you’re able to use the joycon jumper method or not. If not, it’s a very fiddly modchip install that I wouldn’t recommend unless you’re experienced in soldering.

Be sure you understand the difference between launching directly and installing a parallel OS (sysmmc vs emummc, I think?)

Someone might need to check me but if you do sysmmc then boot into it without the hacks and Nintendo domain blocking, it’ll connect up to Nintendos servers and report the hack and ban your console

Sometimes I go into my router’s logs and look at the firewall messages where it blocks all the traffic my printer tries to send to the internet with a smug look on my face

Hey! Just wanted to say thanks again for the recommendation - got one and I’m never buying one of those cheapo electric ones again.

Because of trump voters and non-voters.

Holy shit that’s brilliant

Some of those who work forces…

Honestly it might still just be the SOC failing - when I worked in hardware repair most laptops had separate chips for each but now tech has progressed to have them both on one “system on a chip”. So back in my day if it was gpu the cpu might keep humming along while the gpu was fried, but that’s less relevant now-a-days.

Sorry bro, I’d say back anything you give a shit about up because she’s probably on the way out. If my experience holds, even with the single chip boards - eventually it’ll artifact like this every boot and you’ll be digging out the hard drives to get at your files.

In your shoes I’d recommend fucking with the drivers and your OS, it’s still possible that it’s the drivers are interacting with the hw wrong and causing the issues, but in reality that’s a long shot. Also run memtest86 overnight one night and see if maybe its the ram?

If it does die and you’re feeling hack-y, the dude who suggested an oven reflow is not wrong. If you manage to figure out getting the motherboard out (make sure no plastic that could melt!!) and put it in the oven at reflow temp, you might revive it. If picking the laptop up and twisting the body slightly can cause the crash, it’s almost definitely soldier joint issues.

Are the fans doing anything under normal load? If it’s not moving air at all that’s cause for concern too. Dead fans mean thermal issues, which can cook chips.

Oh one last edit, check how long the warranty is - fucky soldier is a manufacturing defect.

Best of luck brother, sorry for the shitty news.

Does it continue playing sound when it does this? That supports the gpu theory if so.

Also, next time it does this see if plugging an external monitor in displays anything. If it’s the same pattern it’s probably the gpu, if not possibly monitor or cable.

Usually a sign of a dying gpu. Used to work in a laptop repair shop.
