Good chance you could read the number on the chip and find a replacement on AliExpress

This looks fucking amazing, but I'm begging you to fix the dangling under cabinet lights in pic #2 (the one with the "life is beautiful" sign)

I got my entire Snapchat gc (15 people) and a little more to switch. The key isn't dropping an announcement of "hey I'm moving", you talk to each person individually; starting with the most likely to switch. Then go up the line, share who you've already got to join if you're met with resistance. if you save the most difficult people for last, telling them almost everyone else is already there is usually enough.

If someone along the way has refused to move for the time being, you can revisit them later after you've got more people to move. I didn't 100% nail my judgement of who would and who wouldn't, but I was able to go back and revisit those who didn't.

If you can, reach out to people in person; I got a few this way. You have to express that you will not be accessible otherwise and will only be present on signal moving forward. It helps if you have a reputation for following through :3

Likely not everyone is going to move over. I've accepted that there's some people I probably won't end up talking to ever again. I've got my main group over, the ones that actually respect that I want more security (and less clown-show shit that Snapchat has)

Human nature wants to stay put, you have to have some strategy or it won't work.

Also a lot of people are pissed at Meta for lobbying for TikTok's ban. Use that with the relevant people, if applicable

Steam says the collection was released August 7th, 2020. If I remember correctly it was earlier in the year that amogus popped off. But, then again, it has been almost 5 years...

Edit: I was wrong, Google trends shows the initial bump right at August 2020. Just misremembering

Personally I've used Western Digital, Seagate, and PNY drives with no failures. Stay away from anything HP branded; they don't actually produce drives but rather rebadge other failure-prone models and make it damn near impossible to claim any warranty.

I've had a Samsung Evo drive fail on me, but warranty was pretty easy. I've also had a PNY 2.5" ssd that has never failed on me, but I did break the connector off accidentally. Warranty was actually ridiculously easy on that, despite it being entirely user error.

If data is mission critical, it's worth shelling out extra; stay away from any cheap brands (HP, SanDisk, etc) and opt for the higher end models in reputable brands (Eg WD Red, Purple, and Gold vs Green and Blue, or Seagate Ironwolf or Firecuda)

These are my own personal experiences. Others will have better/worse experiences and I encourage you to seek out others' experiences and options, as well as others to add their own

Arcane is a fantastic series, eagerly awaiting the next season. Even my sister is into it (and as far as I know she has no clue what League of Legends is)

Had to switch back to X11 because of novideo being shit. Tried 525, 535, and 540 and vscode would flicker like that one light at the back of the gas station nobody likes to visit because all they sell are stale cigarettes

Yikes, the situation is worse than I thought.

I'm like 75% sure they can use ADB sideload to run scripts, if it's fixed by a fsck couldn't they write that into an OTA.zip and sign it with their key so devices will run it? Then all users would have to do is plug it into a website similar to the Pixel Flash Tool they have and boot into fastboot.

I'm not an Android dev, I've just installed my fair share of ROMS and I'm just throwing stuff out there and seeing what sticks. Feel free to tell me I'm wrong and a moron

In Android 14 it becomes "Extend Unlock"

Couldn't vote in the last primary because I was registered as an independent. Not making that mistake again
