Neusthetic counseling or WTF the fundies call their fake therapy and then he’s fine. They will call him a recovering sex addict (I.E. On the same level as a married man who watches porn, in their usage of the phrase) and who will dissociate when you try to talk to them about what he actually did.
I can’t hear you over the din of the kali box whites and the screaming child, what did you say?
And yet we act like boiled frogs, each generation making fun of the prior one for expecting things to be better than they are. Gen z is so used to things being like shit that they think that all older generations are entitled fuckers And that we should get used to everything being worse because Right now it’s the best they’ve ever known.
I had an entirely different experience with Windows ME than seemingly everyone else. In my experience windows Me fixed a ton of hardware issues. I preferred it over 98 SE back in the day.
They’re repurposed Borg nanobots in saline solution.
The XL has zero parts availability. I love them, but you can’t even gert the dual-composite stylus for it anymore.
So there wasn’t any visible debris upon disassembly but directly attacking the button with contact cleaner was effective.
Did you ever figure it out? I spent some time puzzling over your post, wondering if you managed to spot a difference between the other working GG and the one that operates when the cap is removed??
Winner winner chicken dinner. I had to take off the back, but to get a good angle on the button I had to remove the orange stylus retainer and lift up the button PCB. Contact cleaner, working the switch, and then one failed and one successful shot at getting the button assembly perfectly aligned - VERY easy to JUST BARELY misalign it and remove ALL click which is entirely the opposite of what we’re looking for.
I finally see why people directly blasting contact cleaner into the button area [EDIT: without opening the shell] IS a viable trick, but given the excess you spray to actually get the button means that you’re also risking saturating the screen (which might not be permanent, if you’re using a regular contact cleaner and not fancy shit like deoxit, which would almost certainly ruin the screen). Thanks for the assurance that it’s a solid chance of success, you’re totally right. I just hate flex cables and their connectors.

My human! Thank you, time to break out Ol’ Spudgy McSpudgerson and the ifixit Driver Band, I hope we do enjoy the show.
Thanks. I truly dislike working on the NDS and its progeny, except for the 1st gen 2DS. It is stupidly easy to disturb the ribbon cables even with the most careful hand.
Which doesn’t do much to explain why I bought a pile of DSi XLs to fix up. Separate issue.
I figured disassembly and cleaning might help but thought maybe there was an actual viable trick.
Note that a big risk with contact cleaner is that it easily penetrates into the screen. If you’re using an old school contact cleaner this usually isn’t fatal as it tends to quickly evaporate over a few hours at worst. But if you’re using deoxit or something with oils, you will damage the appearance of the screen.
Why did Dr Mario cost $120?!? I never saw SNES games costing that much. Sounds more like Neo Geo game prices from what I remember.
Beep boop. You’re on my list.
Trust me, my rural neighbors on all fucking sides of me aren’t hunting with the ARs they start shooting the fucking moment the get home from church on Sundays. And given the number of stray bullet incidents, they ain’t Boy Scouts either.
Actually the level of ignorance is easy to express, if you’re William Faulkner. There are vast swaths of humanity that are dumb as fucking rocks. It’s not polite to talk about but as someone involved in education admin, there are these kinds of parents EVERYWHERE. I’ve literally sat in disciplinary appeals where the parents try to explain that their child HAD to have a concealed dagger for protection. In a k-12 school with 400 kids total, no school resource officers/popo, no fights, highly involved parents, etc. Um, no, your child is expelled and I’m slightly terrified that they’ll shoot us up when they turn 20 and start going schizto.
Downvoted to feed your paranoia.
I’ve got to say that the file explorer tabs are a great addition/comeback, and a vastly improved experience over the 90s incarnation where drag and drop was often hamstrung by system responsiveness (and could you even drag and drop to inactive tabs to activate them and bring them to the front back then? Don’t recall.) Using them in KDE Plasma at home , when i got a new win11laptop for work I was thrilled with many of the interface improvements. The telemetry and “widgets” are trash, though, as are the permanent ads in the windows context menu.
You sound like an a-hole. How does it feel to be bluntly communicated with?
Also good for getting to pornhub.com if you live in one of the states they’ve blocked.
