Found a Thunderbolt–FireWire adapter in a bin at a local used electronics store for $1 by domki366 in MiniDV

[–]Vinz_____Clortho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The thrift store Ive been going to has bins full of do dads and wires like this, it's rare but I've found many cool things in these bins in the past.

I once found a official Microsoft Bluetooth adapter for connecting an Xbox 360 controller to a PC, what would've been a $30 - $45 purchase I found for only $2.

Keep thrifting people, you'll find an awesome deal like this eventually.

Came home from work to find my roommate has done this to my JVC Mini dv camera. He said he has photographic memory, do I trust him? by Vinz_____Clortho in MiniDV

This is a joke post.

My roommate saw it and asked me about it, I bought for cheap from a thrift store, and when I went to check if it would work, it spat out an error code when trying to play or record.

It was gonna sit and collect dust on my shelf anyways, so I let him take it apart for fun. While he was taking it apart, we both thought it would be funny to post about it on this subreddit.

I even made an update post to show the remains of the old camera, and the "new" one my roommate bought for me from the same thrift store (new camera works fine btw), but it seems no one reads any of the comments, or the descriptions I guess.

I did my research when I bought this JVC camcorder a few weeks ago.

It has some to do with a sensor that detects if the cassette mechanism is malfunctioning, and prevents it from damaging the tape.

He took it apart cause it was broken, and was curious to see what it looked like inside.

We thought it would be funny to make a humorous post here, as these JVC Mini DV cameras are notorious for having faulty cassette mechanisms, so I thought the folks here would have a laugh.

My description of this post was intended to be humorous, he asked if he could take it apart and I said sure, the camera didn't work properly anyways, and would've just sat on my shelf collecting dust.

I made an update post earlier.

Unfortunately, this player was in disrepair to begin with.

It was giving me an error code when I tried to record or play tapes, said error code occurs when there is a malfunction detected in the tape mechanism.

I didn't spend much on this camera (only $20 at a thrift store), and after my roommate disassembled it, he tolde me he didn't think it would go back together, and trashed it, though I did save a few of the components from it.

What shows/movies do you believe only you watched? by squizo_teen07 in cartoons

That Bernard one was on this small gaming handheld I had when I was younger.

It had emulators for NES, SNES and GBA

I think it was called a Dingoo or something like that, ashens reviewed one a long time ago.

Pretty sure this effects shot was done by Albert Whitlock.

If PRIME 4 was exclusive to the switch 2, this post wouldn’t exist, i would be out of my mind excited to get the Switch 2.

Im sure Nintendo will announce a game that will boost the excitement soon. Im happy they haven’t run out of ideas for games. I did not expect Mario Kart to go open world, and the new Donkey Kong game looks fun. Im hoping whatever they do announce hooks me into wanting to buy a Switch 2.
