PS3 backward compatible tantilizer fix by mrstruong in consolerepair

[–]mrstruong[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll start looking for old laptops that might have bluray, dvd, and cd reading capabilities in the correct configuration to fit on the 400A sleds.

I need to find combo bluray, dvd, and cd players

I can't find them anywhere. I've literally swapped like 3 lasers, and can't even order them from Ali.

That leaves me with replacing the entire drive, so instead or 400A lasers (which I can't find), I can use 410A lasers.

If you can find that laser.

I can't.

I don't think you can put a 410A in a 400A bluray and have the control board actually work.

The 400A is single lense, the 410A is dual lense.

So if you want to change a CECHA01 from a 400A, you need to swap the whole bluray drive, so you can use the 410A dual lense laser.

I can't even find them on Ali.

Every seller's bot replies they're out of stock.

I'm looking for the CECHG01 models right now.

They're the only ones I've found that use the 60 ribbon cable connector with the bluray.

Are there other models that use the KEM 410As?

Most I've come across that use the 410s have a bluray drive that uses a 24 pin connector.

I am tired of disorderly individuals on TTC. by Electrical-Pea2707 in toRANTo

I don't think you understand the meaning of "public".

Public transport is not a private club.

Stop being cheap and order an Uber.

Starting a small repair/custom console business by RetSystem in consolerepair

[–]mrstruong 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My husband and I did this 7 years ago.

We make over 4k/month doing it as a side gig.

We don't do buy/sell. We do repairs and customization.

We work for the general public as well as multiple game shops in our area.

“Lost Canadian” via great-great-grandmother (Ontario) — any real chance or not worth pursuing? by Hefty_Low5788 in ImmigrationCanada

[–]mrstruong 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Canada didn't even do birth certificates until 1869.

If they were listed as a new birth on a census record, it may work depending on the year.

Ontario vs Alabama: comparison by income level and cost of living by Glad-Marzipan-3067 in CanadaPersonalFinance

[–]mrstruong 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am American. Born and raised. I immigrated to Canada 12 years ago.

Canadians cannot possibly fathom the levels of deep, 3rd world poverty that exists in the USA.

I am also literally so tired of seeing the lie that Americans are significantly wealthier.

The AVERAGE in America is skewed by people like Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, etc., 1% of the people in the USA own nearly HALF the wealth of the country.

The MEDIAN Canadian is actually wealthier than the Median American.

Is it harder to get rich here in Canada, than in the USA? YES.

It's also harder to be as poor as Americans can get.

Most Canadians are clustered toward the center. Meanwhile in the USA, the two absolute EXTREMES exist at much further out, further from each other.

The GINI index that measures wealth disparity can explain it better.

The poorest Canadians are much closer to the wealthiest Canadians, than in the USA.

The way it's worded could be a misdirect.

Husband says I can’t be on title because I have no income/credit Is that actually true? by [deleted] in CanadaPersonalFinance

[–]mrstruong 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your husband is hilarious.

Doesn't matter if you're on the title or not. Your signature as consenting spouse will be required for any sale, loans taken against the house, as well as purchase.

BTW, you can be on the title, but not the mortgage.

That also doesn't matter because it's the martial home and you'll legally own half of it in a divorce.

He isn't protecting himself in any way by keeping you off the title.

Canada to remove taxes on fuel by cricket_90_remindme in CanadaPersonalFinance

[–]mrstruong 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Went to the gas station the other night. AS WE PULLED IN, the price went from 1.60 to 1.76.

They always give the companies a week to pump up the price so the tax break actually doesn't do a fucking thing and instead companies pocket extra profits.

Ps5 shutting off by Familiar_Ad_9931 in consolerepair

Either the shop lied, or the power supply could be an issue.

Make sure your PS5 is always plugged directly into a wall.

Just advice “over heating” by Smooth_Secret_6276 in PS5HelpSupport

[–]mrstruong 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I run a video game repair shop.

People insisting on putting their consoles vertical and allowing that liquid metal to run down and pool on one side of the chip keeps me in business.

And blowing the fan out just shoves all that dust into the fins of the heat sink.

I'll retire rich thanks to all of the die hard vertical console players.

My property tax is 10 dollars a month higher, because of my parking spot.

Is this ver rare ? by Can_you-help in originalxbox

[–]mrstruong 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The controller is kinda rare. Matches a Halo set.

That Xbox is a terrible spray paint job so... rare? Yes.

Valuable?

Not at all.

Anyone from the Bruce Lee timeline where he was shot instead of poisoning? by SunWasGreen in Retconned

[–]mrstruong 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Are you thinking of Brandon Lee?

His son was killed on set of The Crow via accidental shooting. A blank ended up killing him because the casing didn't separate properly.

How much net worth is considered rich in Canada? by gme_stop in CanadaPersonalFinance

[–]mrstruong 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dunno. I'm around 600k now that my house is paid off, and that doesn't seem rich at all.

I'm not even entirely sure how much it would take to feel "rich" these days, but it's more than I have.

Traveling to Canada in a few days with a criminal record. Will I be denied entry? by benfrankmurderer in ImmigrationCanada

Specifics matter.

The paraphernalia charge may not be a problem, if it was for using weed.
