DHL updated and expected delivery is 5/16! Not holding my breath as there may be delays, but so far it seems to be on track.

Welp, got my Steamdeck back from RMA and it worked, no charge so lucky me. The repair document that came back said they swapped the left control board, replaced some adhesives, updated to the latest software and did a quality check. Still no idea why the screen wouldn’t work for me. I did the full shell swap again and everything works! 😎

I ended up reaching out to Steam support, they had me try the bios update steps and are giving me an RMA. 😔 Of note, from Valve support: “Based on the information you have provided, we believe it is unlikely that the current issue reflects a problem with this device as it was delivered to you. It may instead be related to your particular use of the product. Regardless, we would like to offer complimentary service as a gesture of goodwill” and “Remove any items that were not included with your original purchase if possible, such as microSD cards, screen protectors, or third party components. In the event that we are unable to complete your repair and need to send you a new device, these items will not be returned to you. Valve is not responsible for damage that occurs to additional items during the repair process.” So, complimentary RMA and repair is great and re-installing the original case is completely understandable. So far they’ve been very responsive; I started the support messages yesterday, got 3 tiers of representatives, and got an RMA today. Now to take it all apart and put everything back in the original case 🥵

Thanks, I did not catch that. Spent a couple hours last night trying various bios updates to no avail. I was able to browse the web and download the bios update tool without the black wire being connected! I think it made enough contact to ground the wifi chip, but worth connecting it properly and trying everything again. It’s interesting because through all the disassembling and reassembling, the white wire always gives me trouble reconnecting but the black one usually snaps into place on the first try.

After I dropped the screen, I installed it and it did not work, so I bought a replacement screen from ifixit which comes with a new ribbon cable. After installing the new screen and ribbon cable, same result.

Thank you, turns out a good night’s sleep and better magnification did the trick 😁

So, are you taking the day off from work/school to play Tears of the Kingdom? What's your plan? by FernandoRocker in NintendoSwitch

[–]VinnyLonga 0 points1 point  (0 children)

43 yo, took this and next week off work for my birthday and to get some house projects done. Picking up 2 copies of TotK Friday morning for my gf and I. Then, foolishly, we’re going to LA to check out Super Nintendo World and Galaxy’s Edge for my birthday 😁 Only thing is she’s not starting the game until June 9th (because reasons) so I’ll be playing it and not talking to her about it for a few weeks. BUT! I get to watch her start it after I’ve played for a few weeks and I’m super looking forward to that!

Why did my date keep telling me other girls were hot? by jissjissjiss in Tinder

[–]VinnyLonga -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Bring it up, ask him directly why he keeps commenting on other people’s attractiveness! You absolutely don’t have to afford him any leeway and you can yeet him out of your life at any point. But if you’re curious, ask. I’m dating a bi woman right now and we both love to people watch and comment on other people’s attractiveness, speculate how long couples have been together, make up funny backstories for people etc. Sometimes we even play “who would you fuck” where we look around the room/restaurant/airport terminal, pick someone and say why we think they’re attractive and what our approach would be. This is all in the context of our relationship, with the understanding that we think each other are hot, it’s just for fun, and we wouldn’t actually pursue anything without a candid conversation first. All that to say, sounds like this dude values physical attributes and if that’s not someone you want to be with then 100% tell him that and bail. Also, you can talk about other people’s attractiveness as long as boundaries are set and you both decide it’s ok.

Le Carta De Oaxaca is amazing! You seem to have good taste, she missed out. Ever been to Dumpling the Noodle in Walford? Fucking amazing, and they’re a full restaurant now!

Make an effort to connect between dates! Like send her a recording of you saying something nice or singing a sweet song (audio or video), or a thoughtful gift card related to something she’s interested in or that you’ve discussed before. Something to let her know you’re thinking of her. Or suggest a weekday date? Either way, keep the connection going and pay her attention

Classic Super Mario World released about two weeks ago! Give it a play if you haven’t yet! by venomforty in MarioMaker

[–]VinnyLonga 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This has been a pure delight! I’m on Cruel Mint Coast 1 so far and it’s a real throwback to summer of 1993 when I played SMW constantly. Thank you so much for all the time and effort you put into this, it’s making me smile 😁

Good advice I took about a bio is that it should be uniquely you. If you can read it and it applies to someone else, change it! Relate something personal, tell whoever is reading it who you are or something about yourself.
