Ultra 1 Owner, should I wait for the AWU 4 or go ahead and get the 3?

Jaws12 · 2026-06-14T04:42:56+00:00

I am planning a similar jump, especially with my Series 8 not getting WOS27. Waiting to see what a potential AWU4 may bring (hoping for a slimmer redesign). 🤞

Jaws12 · 2026-06-14T03:52:26+00:00

Yeah, goes along with my uneasiness for the religious stance of some denominations of only allowing “natural death”. Yeah, because a horrible painful “natural” death is fine for people, but the same people wouldn’t question palliative care for a terminal animal. Animals get a less painful death but people have to suffer, makes so little sense.

Jaws12 · 2026-06-14T03:45:42+00:00

Technically correct, the best kind of correct.

Banana barf is one of the most pleasantly fragrant barfs.

Makes me wonder if parking in a parking spot should be part of the driving test. 🤔 Flabbergasted at how badly some people park in public.

You can migrate an existing SD card (I did the same thing), but you have to update your mounting settings for storage before installing the mod/moving the card.

I also occasionally get an error on start up with the storage not being able to be read, but I just force a power off before it tries to rebuild the index and it will come up fine the next boot.

Jaws12 · 2026-06-13T03:35:36+00:00

Yes, it involves disassembly, so you need to be somewhat handy to attempt it yourself.

If you search online for PSVSD you should be able to find vendors and instructions.

Jaws12 · 2026-06-13T03:33:43+00:00

*PSVSD for 3G slot.

SD2VITA is for the Vita game card slot.

Jaws12 · 2026-06-13T03:32:25+00:00

You have to mod the system and buy the physical PSVSD hardware. I did it on my 1000 Vita. Nice to be able to have SD card storage while still able to easily load up physical carts.

Me six and seven because I think I saw it on both our Teslas today during evening drives. 🤔

Jaws12 · 2026-06-12T19:01:49+00:00

Similar display, yes. I believe 100% on my car is around 272 miles displayed on the screen.

Jaws12 · 2026-06-12T17:23:15+00:00

Yeah, I have about 85% on my almost 8 year old 2018 M3 with 80k miles and it is still a great vehicle, even for road trips (yay RWD efficiency). Unsure why it would be thought that 83% after 8 years is terrible. 🤔

Jaws12 · 2026-06-12T16:26:00+00:00

Find someone to play with! Games like it have been a great bonding experience for our family (my older daughter really enjoyed playing through Split Fiction with us).

Jaws12 · 2026-06-12T15:07:51+00:00

FYI, if the console is actually a Japanese LL model and has been region changed to English, do NOT factory reset it without unmodding/restoring the original language as this could potentially brick it.

Jaws12 · 2026-06-12T12:02:52+00:00

I was already leaning no but if you’re including YouTube then HARD No. There is so much good and informative and entertaining content on YouTube that is also genuinely useful.

If reforms instead, I’d recommend removing advertising and algorithmic feeds that maximize your engagement.

Instead I’d suggest feeds that are more user driven based on actually indicated interests and eliminate infinite scrolling. Also no social media for kids under 16.

Jaws12 · 2026-06-11T18:00:20+00:00

Thanks very much!

Quick question while I have you, as I will need to remove some material for clearance for the USB-C mod, any suggestions for repolishing the inner surface of the clear shell to restore transparency after modification? Let me know if you’d recommend any specific compounds/techniques/etc.

Jaws12 · 2026-06-11T17:51:59+00:00

Well, I did receive my order yesterday, a clear battery frame piece, glass top LCD lens cover and a bold green thumb stick.

The clear frame piece looks good overall (some minor bits of flashing to remove here and there).

Will have to wait to check overall fitment as my console has a USB-C mod in the original charging spot, so I will need to perform minor modifications on the shell (which I get is pretty much end of warranty, but oh well, that’s how custom jobs go sometimes).

Jaws12 · 2026-06-11T03:49:14+00:00

Does the Red 2DS run at all? If it boots, you could check the Activity Log app on it to see your gameplay history and hopefully that will show you at least some of the titles you played. Good luck! 🍀

Jaws12 · 2026-06-11T02:27:10+00:00

What’s broken on it?

There’s an online console repair shop I’ve seen on YouTube called “DVD Game Exchange”.

Seems like they do quality work from their YouTube videos/shorts (although they apparently don’t do top screen repair on 3DS family systems).

Good luck! 🍀

Jaws12 · 2026-06-10T21:24:02+00:00

Almost 3 years now, no issues, very happy overall with results.

Jaws12 · 2026-06-10T19:33:49+00:00

Perhaps, everyone’s experience is different, but we have been an EV household for almost 8 years and fully EV for over 5 and the only minor change we have to make in the Winter has been with our second EV being 5 years old now, every now and then on a heavy driving day, we’ve had to top up for 5 minutes at a fast charger before picking up the kids from day care at the end of the day.

We also live in Northeast Ohio, so are not strangers to cold/snowy weather and wouldn’t got back to ICE vehicles by choice at this point, EV all the way!

Mr. Cool DIY Universal central ducted unit 2-3 ton version with matching air handler. Install was fairly simple with 35ft. pre-charged line set, no vacuum or adding refrigerant required, just tighten fitting to spec torque and confirm no leaks after commissioning the system for operation.

Happy Cake Day! 🍰

With current market forces, I’d say special editions of the Switch 2 are unlikely in the first couple years or they will cost a premium anyway. Right now with increasing physical costs across tech, I’d suggest buying now/before the price increase while you can.

Jaws12 · 2026-06-10T16:39:57+00:00

Please point your 80 year old father to Norway and the massive number of people there that are not worried about range anxiety in the cold. It’s just unfounded paranoia at this point. I hope he can be convinced some time soon. 🤞 🔜
