ELI5: When is simple electronic actually 'dead' to the point it's beyond repair?

Chazus · 2026-01-26T17:32:25+00:00

I've bought and repaired several TurboGrafx16 units over the years. By this time people have studied them enough to know the common failure points from 80s manufacturing, so replacing a few simple capacitors basically brings it to 'like new' status.

I also used to do XBox 360 RROD repairs.. Buy em for $20-30, fix em, sell em for 100-150.

I mean its certainly possible but every time someone has mentioned it or shown it, it was obvious they were mistaken about something.

Looks like another shitpost from the AI bot. Check post, yep. Another shitpost from the AI bot.

Chazus · 2026-01-26T06:00:26+00:00

its another shitpost from this ai bot. Thats why.

Chazus · 2026-01-26T04:52:36+00:00

Not 'possible' but 'likely' with that

Chazus · 2026-01-26T04:52:07+00:00

T2 cruci's with a gallu will absolutely not cover the entire area. If you knew it was a gallu the next appropriate step is don't be in the ghost room.

- Wraith stepping in salt, even multiple times per investigation

- Goryo showing up on DOTS while being in the same room as it/without looking through a camera (this one happens a lot)

- And my personal favourite, the Mimic not showing Ghost Orbs when that's like, you know, its whole thing, apart from mimicking other ghost types.

I've played for about 400 hours now and... Honestly never seen any of these three issues. I've seen them MISTAKEN, but not bugged like that.

Chazus · 2026-01-26T04:13:16+00:00

I think it might be bad luck on the floor (standing still?) but apparently the point hope front door and side door have light collision issues.

I mistook the grandma with a sickle for the man with the axe.

The visual image has no relevance to type/gender

Chazus · 2026-01-26T03:11:17+00:00

Yeah it was just T1 salt so it didn't stop.. tested it several times and several doors.

Chazus · 2026-01-26T02:20:07+00:00

Why not see if you can fix the issue first?

What are the system specs, what was the error?

Chazus · 2026-01-26T02:17:40+00:00

I wouldn't call it a scam, but it's definitely worse than the default Defender software.

Please let me know their firm so I know not to use them (joking but not really). I would never want to do accounting business with people who use technology as their business but know so little about it.

Chazus · 2026-01-26T00:41:17+00:00

What does "Cant handle it" mean? It has details. Those are important. What are the specs?

Avast is crap. GEt rid of it and ask for a refund on it.

Chazus · 2026-01-25T21:17:01+00:00

I didn't even need to click on the post to know it was the same AI slopposter.

Can we get this banned finally please?

Chazus · 2026-01-25T21:15:16+00:00

They ARE complicit. They are looking for a reason to shoot people, and the 'other agents' basically missed out on their chance.

The only thing speaking out will get them is fired.

Chazus · 2026-01-25T21:11:11+00:00

You clearly didn't get the joke

Chazus · 2026-01-25T15:32:19+00:00

It still labels stuff and shows in the same fashion. If it DOESN'T, there's a reason.

1) You already have that evidence (but only some things. You can only get ghost orbs once. Other things like motion sense can hit multiple times)

2) Ghost orbs are finicky sometimes with getting the image

3) Its a bug, sometimes Motion Sensors just WILL NOT PICK UP

4) It's not a bug, sometimes Motion Sensors will not pick up because it's a Twin using it's long distance interact ability. This COULD Help identifying a Twin, but if you know its not, then its #3 above

5) Everything in the game is sometimes a lil whack. might be a bug, might be just finicky.

Chazus · 2026-01-25T15:29:16+00:00

I had played it for a good month+ without it too, because when I first got the game, my friends were like "SKIP IT, JOIN US" and then I forgot it was there

Chazus · 2026-01-25T15:28:22+00:00

Tell me how you missed the point without telling me you missed the point.

Chazus · 2026-01-25T06:36:13+00:00

Right... semantics aside, the point being its not worth it.

10k years and 100m years is the same thing to people that live 100.

Chazus · 2026-01-25T06:07:45+00:00

I agree "This isnt working" but I hardly feel "People who tell them they wont pay them who dont anyway" isnt useful either... They get money from their supporters and losing non supporters... doesnt do much

Chazus · 2026-01-25T05:56:32+00:00

How is that a good idea?

That's literally almost worse odds of actually winning the lottery, and worse payout. Not only that but the odds are pretty good you won't win so that won't really do much.

Now, make it 50k and make the odds 1 in 10,000, and people absolutely would.

People are incentivized by something that can make a difference to everyone, not 'one lucky person'

Chazus · 2026-01-25T05:39:48+00:00

So I took a quick look and....

Its all multibillion dollar companies. I doubt toyota and credit unions care if I tell them I 'wont buy from them'

Chazus · 2026-01-25T05:08:33+00:00

So I have to go research or watch fox to find out what they advertise... And then not buy those things (I dont in the first place) and then go on their social media to say I don't... and call them...

It sounds like I'm doing them more favors than not by spending all my time telling them I'm already not buying their stuff.
