@haskal as someone who is currently trying to disable the lockout chip in their nes: drm is evil

@Felthry none especially close, and a thunderstorm is rolling in so i can't really go out again today, unfortunately

@Felthry i dont wanna cut the pcb either, that always struck me as messy and a little terrifying, especially for someone like me who has Literally Never worked with electronics before

@Felthry as a last ditch i went to the craft store and bought a set of jewelry tools that included a flush cutter, but the tips of that weren't as thin as it showed on the picture - they're just barely too thick to fit between the pins, so i have been foiled again

@Felthry i wasn't able to find anything like that at my local hardware store, alas. the only things here with a relatively fine point are pliers, not cutters

@lifning@cybre.space oh, everdrive.me reported the red ones as in stock. i wish it was gray but i'll take what i can get

@Felthry i'll look in the hardware store tomorrow. i need to go get q-tips and alcohol for cleaning the connectors anyhow

@Felthry what do i need to do that, exactly?

@Felthry anything involving soldering is above my pay grade, at least at the moment

@Felthry thats the other thing ive heard might be causing it. what does disabling it entail?

@lifning@cybre.space wish i could pay them extra for a special order or something

@lifning@cybre.space okay, so around 11a-12p eastern time.. ill try to be up for it then. blehh

@lifning@cybre.space any tips on what time of day they usually put restocks up?
