Study finds that we could lose science if publishers go bankrupt
A scan of archives shows that lots of scientific papers aren't backed up.
lf a retro gaming console in exchange for art
Shot in the dark but does anyone have a GameCube they're not using that they want to trade for some art?? my Wii that I've had since 2007, that I've had repaired twice now, stopped reading my GCN discs and I'm so sad about it lmao
idc what color it is or anything, as long as it has all its cables and works. I have controllers and games. DM me or email me at dynamo.deepblue.art@gmail.com, I guess if you're serious? I don't have a lot of money so that's why I'm offering art rn.
I'll do a full body, banner or themed badge for you if you want to trade 🙏🏾
@Hearth i will say it's kind of cool to even be able to consider doing this stuff myself, back when i first got these consoles it didnt even cross my mind that i'd be opening them up
i wonder how moddable the old fat ds is. i'd love to replace the screens in that thing someday if i can
@Hearth it looks like there are replacement cartridge slot modules available to purchase online (e.g. https://www.amazon.com/Reader-Module-Replacement-Compatible-Nintendo/dp/B089K9LTLF) that don't appear to require soldering to install... if it gets really bad maybe i'll consider that
@Hearth that sounds like a finickier operation than i know how to do... maybe i'll take it to a shop
@Hearth the 3ds seems to see the cart pretty consistently when i turn the console on with it inserted, it's mostly just when i remove and reinsert it that it sometimes fails to see it. so i'm wondering if the mechanism to detect insertion of a cart is going marginal
@nytpu okay... i shone a flashlight in there and there didn't seem to be anything obviously awry with the pins. the 3ds seems to see the cart pretty consistently when i turn the console on with it inserted, it's mostly just when i remove and reinsert it that it sometimes fails to see it. so i'm wondering if the mechanism to detect insertion of a cart is going marginal. i can't disassemble the thing any further right now because i'm missing my really tiny screwdrivers
@sugar i tried that and it didn't seem to help
@jakjak i love zangoose theyre maximum grumpy AND maximum cuddly

re: bad advice
@cinnamon noooooo
does anyone have any experience with 3ds hardware maintenance? my n3dsxl's cartridge slot is being inconsistent, especially with ds cartridges. i want to restart my soulsilver cart and i can't really confidently do it if it won't recognize the cart is there more than every ten tries or so. maybe the pins are just bent?
@valrus thank you im very proud of that lmao
@argr i prefer my trucks domesticated
