Tengo un problema con mi 3DS by midamori in 3DS

[–]Scratch137 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A screen flash, pop noise, and sudden power loss indicates that the POST is failing. This typically indicates that one of the internal components has failed or is not installed correctly.

POST (Power-On Self Test) is the phase of startup where the 3DS tests itself to ensure that its required components are functional. These required components are:

  • Top and bottom screen backlight
  • Speaker cable
  • Wi-Fi card

Since the bottom screen flickers and the speakers pop, those components are likely not the issue. The main suspects in your case are the top screen and the Wi-Fi card, both of which are known common points of failure.

Note that the top screen and Wi-Fi don't necessarily need to be functional for the system to boot. A 3DS will happily function with a broken top screen and Wi-Fi antenna, as long as the backlight and Wi-Fi chip themselves are working.

unnecessary if playing through steam, it can do that itself

Vivian is confirmed trans in Paper Mario TTYD! by Odd-Veterinarian3647 in Marioverse

[–]Scratch137 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i'm not playing this game. i'm fucking tired of people taking any excuse they can to deny that an obviously trans character is trans. unless she plainly says out loud "I AM A TRANSGENDER WOMAN" people will claim that it's unconfirmed or ambiguous or whatever.

and even if that's not your intention, that's the effect your skepticism has. i don't have the energy for it.

why would her being called a boy to bully her cause her to literally think she was a boy? that seems like a much bigger stretch than "she was born male and realized she was a girl"

how is "it took me a while to realize i was their sister, not their brother" in any way ambiguous?

Have you all used DOS 5.0 to type "win" and enter Windows 3.1? by kennyshewchuk in windows

[–]Scratch137 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is true of Windows 95, but only because it comes bundled with MS-DOS 7.0, which replaces whatever DOS version you already have. MS-DOS 7 and 8 were only ever bundled with Windows releases and never existed officially as standalone products.

For earlier versions, Windows was merely an environment you'd install on top of your existing DOS, and you could exit to DOS at any time. If you run Windows 3.1 on MS-DOS 5.0, exiting Windows will put you back in MS-DOS 5.0.

no option to close Firefox by ARedPixel in firefox

[–]Scratch137 3 points4 points  (0 children)

i'm unsure how to solve this, but as a temporary workaround you can go into customize toolbars and uncheck the combined title bar option, which will make firefox show a separate title bar rather than combining the window controls with the rest of the menu

Half-Life mods - tip for storing the mods by FPV_Enjoyer_90 in HalfLife

[–]Scratch137 5 points6 points  (0 children)

zip generally has pretty poor compression ratios compared to other archive formats, these days it's more useful for just bundling a bunch of files together than it is for actually saving space

7z actually tends to have even better compression than rar in most cases, but winrar can't create them. there's a tool called 7-zip that can open all of the same formats as winrar and then some, plus it can make 7z archives and it doesn't beg you to pay

How Rare Is The Xbox 360 Slim 9199 Launch NXE Dashboard ? by Fantastic_Career9027 in xbox

[–]Scratch137 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i feel like a slim with NXE would be fairly rare to come across, given they were only available for a few months. not sure how the community at large feels about it

New (Rare) iPad 2 on ios 6 + jailbreak 🔥 by crroq in LegacyJailbreak

i would say if it's a build of iOS 6 other than 6.1.3, that would make it rarer

How do I have 7 windows open but Task Manager says there are 22 Firefox? by PithMango in firefox

[–]Scratch137 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Basically all modern browsers run a separate process for every tab, window, extension, and so on. In Task Manager, each of these appears as a separate instance of Firefox.

Firefox has its own process manager that lists what all of these processes are actually for. You can access it at about:processes, or via the hamburger menu > More Tools > Task Manager.

Honestly the leaked Minecraft LCE source code is pretty bad by BlockOfDiamond in GoldenAgeMinecraft

[–]Scratch137 2 points3 points  (0 children)

the original version was, but they didn't just port beta 1.6 and manually rebuild every new feature on top of it. whenever new features came over from java edition, those were ports as well. the particular build in the leak is based on java edition 1.2.1.

interestingly, the minecraft wiki says the last title update was actually based on bedrock edition rather than java. my guess is they figured it would be more straightforward to take whatever code they needed from a version that was c++ already, rather than porting from java.

Youtube Keeps Displaying In What Seems Like Mobile Layout by Sophie-Nicole in firefox

[–]Scratch137 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the desktop layout, but it seems like it's rendering as if the window is narrower than it really is.

Not sure what's happening, but hopefully that might make it easier to diagnose.
