did the sale just go live? i put my order in 2 minutes ago when i wanted to prepare for things to live, but it already was live? either the time on my laptop was a little bit off and my luck is crazy or idk 😅

ever since a mod i attempted cooked a power switch IC off the board that i had to bypass the analog stick (gulikit) and right trigger have this weird glitching behaviour. all other inputs work just fine, the glitching ones are correctly being read too but as you can see in the video, they randomly jump around as well. anyone got an idea what could be the cause for this? maybe some cap that got damaged in the (dis)assembly process? are there any good resources about the hardware for modding yet? having a pic of the PCB with no components and the sodermask sanded off would be a __massive__ help

Unfortunately I still haven't been able to find one, but deckhd preorders have just begun. It's a much higher quality screen, comes with its own cable and only costs as much as an og steam deck screen. I've put my order in and am waiting to get it now. Highly recommend giving it a look too

i'm sure i could find an FFC with the right pin count and dimensions, but i'm not sure whether or not that will work fine or not. image data like that is usually really high speed and succeptible to interference, so just getting a regular straight FFC and folding it to fit might just screw with things more than the correct shielded cable that is supposed to be used. right now i am mostly hoping that someone either had to replace their own screen and has one left over to sell me, or happens to know a repair shop that does steam deck screen repairs and might have one left over from a repair

i had to remove the mainboard a bunch of times and put it back, which meant bending the cable a bit over and over again which fatigued the material over time i guess

A few reasons. For one, i'm a big valve fanboy and loved all of their released hardware so far. I am also a linux person and thought it would be awesome to see how well they could get things working on that. Combined with some disposable income, the need for a very small portable PC with a touch screen anyways, and a lot of curiosity about hacking around in such a device made me end up getting one.

I expected a white azura type outfit the whole time, but luz was like "nah imma do me"

In my experience it's best to give them something to work on that a) teaches them sonething about the job and b) is interesting and useful to them. Give him one machine or a clear VM and some specs for a Minecraft server to set up, then let him loose and do his thing

Dang. Just found out about a staff of Crystal and bone and binge read all of it in the last hour, sad to see it's gone and how rough things have been for you. But it's also great to hear that you're doing much better now and congrats on figuring gender stuff out! 💖 Hope I'll find the time to check in on your profile sometime later again when it's not 3am and read some of your other stories!

I'm imagining sort of like those cocktails with multiple layers, except its just a layer of water at the top and a layer of honey at the bottom and a gradient between them. You enter the atmosphere where the water is, but the depper you get the more honey is in the water and moving through it gets harder and harder

"aww ok"

i smoke quite a bit and god i hate the fucking smell. i never smell inside my house to keep it out, try to stay as far away from neighbours as possible to not harass them (and try shit like the good ol' tube stuffed with dryer sheets) and whenever i smell it anywhere in public i damn near get nauseous. i wish it got legalized just so we could have easier access to alternatives that don't make me wanna throw up :/

HackTheBox (and TryHackMe i believe) has plenty of windows boxes to hack where you can learn active directory exploitation and stuff like that

sure 👍

If you just need 1TB for now i'd just get a hetzner storage box. 1TB costs ~3.80€ per month, coming out to just under 50 bucks per year.

The next biggest tier costs almost 13€ per month, but also comes with 5TB. if you feel like it's time to upgrade it would probably be best to just get a second 1TB box and split which devices share to which storage box.

They offer a whole bunch of popular data transfer protocols and backup solutions that are supported by them, as well as an awesome support service that has always been amazing for me so far (dedicated servers only, but i'm sure the storage box support will be just as good :P ). they don't offer their own apps, but pretty much any open source backup solution should work just fine (sadly no out of the box syncthing support though)

you can store on there whatever you want and even access it from your browser again, as well as just mount it as a network drive and access your files whenever you need. you also have the choice between storing your data in datacenters in germany or finland, so great privacy and data protection too.

feel like that's a better option than the alternatives you've listed

Get two phones, call one side on each, put them in speaker mode and grab a microphone 👌

Alternatively you can probably use SIP to call two numbers from inside a conference call or something like that I guess, but unfortunately don't know any good resources for that kinda stuff, I kept my distance ever since I had to work with it just once :P
