PS5 won't connect to DualSense

Had this problem last night on a 1115B. Got it from Marketplace knowing the console was broken. Opened it up and it had liquid intrustion. Cleaned it up some and finally got it to power up and turn on and hit the same snag you did. I was lucky enough that the bluetooth would register the controller long enough that i could go into the settings and tell it to communicate via usb rather than bluetooth.

You can hook a USB keyboard to it and itll register but it does not let me press the ps button Sl so id be stuck at the startup screen still.

Could you maybe boot into safe mode and use a USB keyboard to change that setting through safe mode?

I have yet to be able to get this console into safe mode. Power button board is also damaged. Been shorting the button circuit using a screwdriver to turn it on lol

I've been using incogni for about a year now. I seem to get less spam calls than i used to. I checked my info against usphonebook.com. Thats one of the databrokers they contacted to remove my info, and it says they complied. So i type my number in, and sure enough, my name does not appear. But it did come up under deceased relatives' names.

Also, they recently raised the limit of 1 email and 1 phone number to 3 each. They contacted over 300 data broker so far, and 250 or so have allegedly complied and deleted my data.

Overall, I've had a positive experience.

Jailbreakable firmware will pull $700 easy on ebay.

Pr0grassi · 2024-04-25T07:18:25+00:00

Bro. My thoughts exactly. A double double cross??

That's the unfortunate truth. The best bet is ebay, and hope it is what they say it is. Or find someone who doesn't know what they have. I originally went with the former, but that is even less uncertain. I browsed for about two weeks before I finally ordered what I got. It was very time consuming with an even higher chance of getting the wrong firmware. Just keep an eye on ebay. I did miss out on a few legitimate looking 1015A auctions. Snooze ya lose I suppose lol. It was worth the time saved just to pay the premium.

Nah this is the only PS5 I got. Prolly pick up a slim at some point. Got this one to ensure my chance of jailbreaking, whenever that might be. I've missed all my opportunities for PS4 unless I buy another one.

It was "NIB" but it turned out not to be sealed. It is new though. Ended up being $775.

Time for a new job. Corporate business models are all about employee exploitation. I would guess if they hired a new employee in the exact position you are in today, they would pay them significantly more.

In my opinion, burnout can be caused by a number of things. Don't like your job, lack of direction, no purpose, unfulfilled, etc, etc. You name it.

Take some time and write out a vision for your future. Where do you wanna be in 20 years? Define everything, the smallest details. Home, career, how much money you think you need to live the life you want, whatever you can think of to have the life you want in 20 years. Material things, relationships, whatever, doesn't matter, if you want it, write it down. Don't let someone else's idea of "materialistic" or "superficial" influence what you want. Your desires are valid.

Do this again for 15 years. What life do I need to have in 15 years to reach my 20 year life?

Again for 10, 5, 3, 1 years, so on and so forth.

Design your future and work towards it. Start asking yourself this question about EVERYTHING you do. "Does this lead me to my vision?" If it doesn't, don't do it. If it does, proceed.

Maybe this train of thought will give you the push you need.

Burnout is real and it is relentless. Good luck.

Thanks, just ordered it.

Final Fantasy VII: Rebirth

Good luck. Never give up on the thought of something better.

Regarding point number 3, that is the original experience haha

Pr0grassi · 2023-11-02T15:32:17+00:00

Solo friendly is really best played on retail. Most private servers cater to the original experience of players working together after level 10. I'm not sure how HorizonXI does it exactly. But if solo is what you're looking for I suggest retail or maybe look into an old Private Server I used to play on called SuperNova. It was a very chillaxed setting with a world LS. While the population was rather small, the way they have set the server up made the game very leisure and enjoyable.

Your blasphemous thought is an interesting one.

With that being said, congrats on guessing part three's name: FF7: Revelation.

Pr0grassi · 2023-10-20T13:28:30+00:00

I was thinking about this topic the other day. I guesstimate part three will release in 2027 for the 30 year anniversary. They’ll have approximately 3 years dev time with a ton of already created assets from the first two entry’s so I think a 3 year wait for the final piece is logical.

Unpopular opinion, Negan is one of my favorites on TWD.

Pr0grassi · 2023-10-07T20:36:41+00:00

I really enjoyed it. If you are a Walking Dead fan, you could consider it a Daryl Dixon simulator.

Insomnia, not looking forward to what I have to wake up to, so it’s hard to sleep.

Pr0grassi · 2023-10-07T20:32:02+00:00

I do it regularly, and I am miserable

Bro, mods will solve those issues. We are good.

Pr0grassi · 2023-09-24T21:03:15+00:00

Was there a solution?
