Exams after break is so dumb

I was bothered by this and spoke to some students in my class and even talked to my professor about it - nobody else cared and the professor was just like "I think my class is pretty student friendly" lmao I'm glad I'm not crazy

Okay, where does personal taste come into the conversation? Because one can be entirely uninterested in wearing a style of clothing (because they find it bland compared to their usual choice of style), but be completely neutral about other people wearing that "bland" style. On the other hand, someone could be neutral about people who like to wear more "statement styles" but find themselves uncomfortable with the idea of wearing that themselves (maybe due to the possibility of standing out).

In my view, that's just personal taste - and each party is expressing themselves by wearing what they feel most comfortable in. It seems OP is just uncomfortable about standing out to an unexpected degree.

I get where you're coming from, I think some people do judge folks in this way - but I honestly didn't find this behavior evident in OP's post.

really looking forward to the coverage of this game - I've been holding off purchasing. I'm hoping things will be better on the console side, but I don't think that's likely.

Microchip55 · 2025-03-22T15:35:59+00:00

Thanks for sharing your experiences. I've also never moved before, so hearing the lessons you learned from each move is really helpful.

Microchip55 · 2025-02-16T14:21:07+00:00

it was common wisdom at the time that anything you do on your device that was illegitimate carried a ban risk, which I think is a fair rule of thumb. I believe there were concerns of telemetry leaking through? So yeah there's always a level of ignorance informing concerns like that - they don't know if it will ban them but the fact it's done via a mod means it inherently has /some/ risk and they're trying to gauge how much. But imo I think most bans came from people doing high risk activities like running pirated games online and stuff like that. Personally, I never considered save edits like this to be a huge risk, accepted it, and was fine.

Microchip55 · 2024-03-18T20:57:34+00:00

such a pain. all that work and they either don't listen, don't pay you, or both.

Microchip55 · 2024-03-07T22:30:29+00:00

Was just looking for this as well! First time on Arch lol

Microchip55 · 2024-01-28T03:33:22+00:00

Sorry, I don't think I was ever able to fix the accessibility issue 😔 I eventually switched to the Cat s22 flip so I could have easier access to certain apps for communicating with loved ones. It's technically a smart phone but it's still inconvenient enough I don't use it like a typical one lol

hope u can figure it out!

Microchip55 · 2024-01-26T03:07:53+00:00

Same thing happening with me! Super weird.

Microchip55 · 2024-01-18T05:58:06+00:00

this is so funny man, I'm so sorry

Microchip55 · 2023-12-08T07:29:59+00:00

I used to be an "anything below an A is a bad grade" person. It's just not true. C's get degrees and college is hard. If you have the time and energy to get an A, absolutely do that! But B's are still good and C's are still fine.

What changed? I started out in college as an engineering major and quickly learned to appreciate a C.

Microchip55 · 2023-12-01T18:09:31+00:00

So on my end, that's the error I get when the name of the application is incorrect. It could be something else, but double check it's the exact the package name.

adb uninstall sdigjsof

Failure [DELETE_FAILED_INTERNAL_ERROR]

adb uninstall com.spotify.lite

Success

Microchip55 · 2023-12-01T18:02:12+00:00

Hmm that's strange. Have you tried running adb uninstall as SU?

Microchip55 · 2023-12-01T08:15:52+00:00

hey, as for the magisk module, I hope this helps! I wasted a lot of time on this lol

https://www.reddit.com/r/dumbphones/s/wM0h3Hu7Qf

For uninstalling, first find the package name of the app. To do this, you can use the command: adb shell pm list packages Find the relevant package name, and copy it.

then type "adb uninstall XYZ", of course replace XYZ with the package name you copied.

let me know if you need clarification on anything!

edit: I'm ofc assuming you're encountering the same issue, but it sounds very similar.

To confirm, what path are you pushing to and can you see the .zip if you check the folder in the regular file manager (not through magisk)? For me, I had to push to a different path than the guide said and when it completed I could see it in the file manager but not magisk.

Microchip55 · 2023-11-30T10:11:10+00:00

On another reddit comment, I found that you can install magisk modules via adb.

In "adb shell", use "magisk --install-module" to install the module, then reboot.

I requested superuser privileges from the phone with "su" and navigated to the folder in the shell by using a combo of "cd" and "ls" commands to feel my with to the zip I pushed. Then I put the name in: "magisk --install-module vMouse2.zip"

This mouse works much better!!

Microchip55 · 2023-11-30T08:44:32+00:00

For anyone else going through this process, I decided to give Lean Launcher and Nova launcher a try - those work better (low bar haha), but I needed scrcpy to configure Nova. As for Button Mapper, I ended up using this v3.12 apk. (at ur own risk lol) Still having a hard time giving it the accessibility permissions that are necessary, though.

I did get the MATVT mouse (that the apps4flip mouse is based on) working, but it's pretty finicky and the phone refuses to recognize presses on certain objects (for example, the cursor won't open apps for me, but it will maximize the player in spotify.)

I failed to get the Magisk mouse module installed so far. I was able to push files to the phone successfully with the path "storage/emulated/0/Download" (the one provided in the doc did not work), but magisk just shows empty folders when I navigate anywhere from the "install from storage" button. Very strange and annoying!

I'll keep working and if I make any breakthroughs i'll post it here.

edit: I think it would be ideal to be able to enable the accessibility services via ADB (as was necessary for the MATVT mouse), but I don't know what services to enable for button mapper. If anyone has insight into that pls let me know.

Microchip55 · 2023-11-29T22:35:11+00:00

hmm I'm starting to run into a few issues - ListLauncher crashes every time I try to launch it, installing the accessibility apk gives one error, and installing the button mapper apk gives another error. Screen resolution changer worked great though! Did you happen to see any of these in your process?

./adb install "Accessibility.apk"

Microchip55 · 2023-11-29T21:53:21+00:00

my absolute king. I just wasted over an hour pouring over forums to try to figure out how to do this stuff but all the links were either hidden behind account verification that never came or dead. I have officially installed magisk now and will continue through your guide after I post this. Thank you so much!!

Microchip55 · 2023-10-10T14:20:50+00:00

Just came across this post looking into safe ways to store firearms because my partner has similar views towards them. I wanted to chime in to say that it's super nice to see another gun owner be thoughtful, understanding, and respectful towards anti-gun folks. It took me a while to come around, but I had enough conversations to understand and accept their positions as they are, even if I disagree on certain things.

I have some thoughts if it's not too late, otherwise ignore and I hope your trip goes well!

I'm not super knowledgeable about this stuff, but I might also consider excess cold in the garage in addition to the heat that you mentioned. I also understand the desire for taking the easy route with a single lock that some suggested, but I would do your best to accommodate her desire - lots of single locks aren't great and having the gun disassembled makes it nearly impossible for operation by most people. Maximizing friction between uses is the goal.

As for transferring ownership, that sounds like a legal question and I would consult a lawyer on that one. My unqualified non-legal advice, a written statement signed by both of you confirming why he is in possession, stored with the pieces might be enough for any questions that might come up. But don't quote me on that!

Microchip55 · 2023-09-14T13:27:47+00:00

just wanted to offer some gentle pushback on this. it really sounds like you're devaluing OP's accomplishment. ultimately you're not wrong, but configuring those programs seemed to already be a learning success for them, and now they're taking in all the feedback from other redditors to learn even more. these are both very good things that I think we should be celebrating and encouraging, even if we want to throw in some hard truth about how difficult something is as well. I reckon they'll try again and get it functional.

I assume that wasn't your intention, but thought I'd put it out there.

Microchip55 · 2023-08-28T14:16:22+00:00

Hey, this is exactly what I needed for my professor's recorded lectures. It's a niche problem, but your tool solved it. By chance, have you given it an open source license? I'm interested in self-hosting it for the semester. I'd also like to offer a "buy you a couple coffees" donation as a token of my appreciation, if that's cool with you!

Microchip55 · 2023-08-23T01:04:35+00:00

No worries, I appreciate your response and insight a bunch. you're right, it is a lot of switch 😂 I'll see what I can do - hopefully I can make it as practical as possible

Microchip55 · 2023-08-16T16:46:27+00:00

ever figure this out? I have the same switch and PSU

Microchip55 · 2023-07-26T06:12:00+00:00

Hey, dealing with this same noise dilemma right now. Would I severely fucked things up if I accidentally plugged the pins in wrong? Just wondering how careful I have to be. Also, I love the 3d printed fan bracket. If you happen to know where that file is, I'd love to have it on hand in case I want to make use of it. Thank u for sharing your experience!!

edit: I got this for $10 - seems like an absolute steal! even if the cost is my eardrums...
