So, the donor 3DS finally arrived on the 9th of April, and I transplanted the board into it. However, there was one major complication. When I was inserting the ribbon cable connector latch for the top screen snapped off, which meant that there was no way to make sure the top display ribbon cable stays in place. My worst fear was confirmed when I powered on the console, it booted up, and the botto... » Continue Reading
Recently, I rediscovered my sister's old original 3DS that had sat unused for many, many years, as it had died sometime around 2017/2018 overnight for seemingly no reason. It would turn on, before making a pop sound almost immediately afterwards and turning off. After all these years, I finally have the tools, and time (although not the skills or parts) to repair it, but after about 30 minutes of ... » Continue Reading
One of the phones in the phone lot I talked a bit about in my previous blog was a Samsung Galaxy S5 with a smashed AMOLED display internally (the front glass was fine but the internal screen was completely grey with a few blotches of dead pixels and random colours), Today I went to test it and decided to put it in download mode (idk why, but i wanted to) yet every time I tried to put it in downloa... » Continue Reading
so i bought a lot of 17 broken phones in an auction with plans to to fix them up, keep some, and flip some on ebay for profit. everything has been going mostly fine, except one thing. ICLOUD ACTIVATION LOCK. if you don't know what it is, click here . but out of about the 8 iphones in this lot, over half of them are locked out due to icloud activation lock which really sucks because it means i hav... » Continue Reading
ive been reading homestuck for a little while at this point, and i've been enjoying it at lot! but jesus christ, what the LIVING FUCK was going on in this decrepit fandom at its peak. when i got into homestuck a few months ago, i knew that the fandom had been sorta shitty in the past, i was then immediately beaten to near death and kicked so hard to the ground by myself that i incurred a traumatic... » Continue Reading
I honestly have no clue how being morally driven by nothing but money, no matter how bad it is for the people, doesn't wear away at politicians' souls. It's like the second they got into politics any mention of a policy that's actually for the people got defenestrated, set on fire, and pulverised by a hydraulic press. I just get so frustrated to see people rise up to support someone who in 6 month... » Continue Reading
i swear that you can't go a single place without seeing ai anymore. you go outside and see an ai advertisement, search something up and get a stupid ai overview, just scroll tiktok and someone's talking about their ai "art". it's so stupid that instead of ai doing our monotonous stuff like our dishes and stuff for us so we can make art and have more time for creative hobbies that instead we let ai... » Continue Reading
I've never actually caught covid-19 but i swear it always sweeps in once a year and ruins something. 2019 was my dad catching it even though we've NEVER been to Wuhan, 2020/21/22 was the COVID pandemic ruining everything, 2023/24 was COVID making a MASSIVE comeback in my grandparents home country (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COVID-19_pandemic_in_Japan), and 2025 has been my sister catching COV... » Continue Reading

Recently, I've been making this game with a few of my friends by ourselves as a little project. It's been pretty fun and interesting to solve issues and get stuff done and find solutions, I don't know if it's just me though but do you ever just stay up all night trying to implement 1 thing (for me it was dialogue) into a project you're working on but no matter how PRECISELY you follow a tutorial i... » Continue Reading
I just bought a DSi on a eBay a few days ago and booted it up, guess what firmware version it had. IT HAD 1.0J! 1.0 is pretty rare because most day 1 DSi's instantly were updated to 1.1 but nope, this one NEVER updated. I also modded it and everything surprising works fully fine too! I guess I really lucked out with that it :) Cya. » Continue Reading
