that the EC failed. This computer did always have its quirks with devices, like that one time the SD card caused Windows to spit out like 100 device errors per second and slowed it down to a crawl.
All this to say I just bought an EC and 5 BIOS chips to see if I can bring it back to life, for the lulz.
So I have this laptop that just crapped its pants one day. I'm thinking me tinkering with GVT-g/d fucked something up (a reboot after messing with it yielded mobo failure codes), however after a year (!) of it being off, it sprung to life twice for me to update the BIOS and access it... and now it just doesn't even spit out codes. It just fails to come up.
I'm no electrical engineer but I see some coils have no voltage (especially one related to USB power? maybe?) which leads me to believe -

genuine question: what is the point of stories on a messaging app? this seems to be something whatsapp users migrating elsewhere love to request. signal eventually caved in, and people still ask for telegram to add it. i don't understand
(I actually have a ton of housekeeping to do but I accidentally played a Jerma stream archive so now I have to sit here and finish it)

Flag emojis should work like minecraft banners and offer some blank flags and modifiers to compose flags not yet in unicode + fictional flags.
Oh yeah, it's still got a very narrow color gamut but it being normally black, has a very good contrast ratio.
Update: it's here, it's installed and it's not even one of the models listed, but it does have pretty good viewing angles.
It's 66% sRGB tho, sooooo maybe AliExpress would have guaranteed I got the right model.
Now I just have to wait for the controller board for the screen I just removed to arrive and I can turn it into a portable monitor!

the twitter API thing is a bummer for a lot of reasons but it is pretty funny to look at the QTs of the announcement and it's just page after page of like, Limp Bizkit Gifs Hourly saying "I guess this is it, guys.. it's been a great run.."
Kinda wanna set up my own private email server just to understand what the fuck,

Why isn't there a 3d glasses emoji? Feels like something Unicode would add.
Why do I keep picking at my fingertips if it makes me unable to touch shit for like an entire day STOP

someone has made a browser extension that plays the wii shop channel music whenever you go to shopping websites

I really want to see a study on how active Twitter users vs non-users approach internet discourse.
Because I'm fully convinced Twitter has done irreparable damage to any kind of semi-charged internet discussions.

I just purchased a new display to replace the shitty TN panel my laptop has.
Thing is, the seller said "you can get any of these four models, depending on availability" and I assumed they would be equivalent.
Nope, just compatible. I can get one that does 100%, 95% or 66% sRGB.
I guess I just have to wish real hard it's the first one.
Given, all four possibilities are way better than the one I currently have, with actually reasonable viewing angles.
Shoulda bought it on AliExpress.
