The kind that seemingly doesn’t exist, a wealth tax…

You forgot the air quotes around ‘experts’

But but…

This information was confirmed by Captain Brainworm himself, he’s an expert right? Right? 😂🤣

🤦‍♂️

Which came first, the chicken or the egg?

Neither can cum, the rooster came first, obviously!

Yes, I’m running Linux Mint on my laptop, which comes with LibreOffice. If I needed to write any serious documents of my own, I’d definitely do so using LibreOffice.

I dunno, I just wanted to test the waters of AI on itself in a way to see what it would spit out. At least what it wrote carries a reminder to not outright trust AI and do your own research and fact checking.

I hear ya there, but I also hear that they don’t have drain holes on the bottom inside the door and rainwater (and other fluids) will run down the windows inside the door and collect at the bottom and mess up the electronics and cause internal corrosion.

Remember, they’re piss poor designed, go after known weaknesses…

Whoops, meant to comment to another commenter this time, my bad.

Meh, there’s ways to disguise yourself, such as throwaway clothing and wash-off body paint.

Or so I’ve been told…

I totally agree. While I do have a Google account, I haven’t used it in many months, and my tablet and phones have never been signed in to begin with. I guess you might consider my mobile Android devices as ‘virgin’ devices, and I don’t mean Virgin Mobile.

I did break my hiatus from Google briefly tonight, just to ask Google Docs to write a document to compare and contrast AI slop versus reality…

Anyways, I’m done with Google again for as long as I can avoid it. But I’m still leaving the account active, if for no other reason than my YouTube videos (not like I’m even making any money off my random stuff)…

True, but even paying in cash or otherwise, both items are pretty darn cheap…

I’ve heard that if you spray them with a mix of vinegar and salt, that they’ll likely start rusting and even short circuiting not too long after.

Both of these products can be purchased with SNAP/EBT food stamp benefits for anyone interested.

Or so the rumor goes…

Fantastic

The job was assigned by the company I worked for dumbass, boss forces you, whether you think it’s fixable or not.

Did you even read my comment?

Let’s start from the beginning…

• 1. Customer brings in a months long water damaged 2DS
• 2. Front desk checks it in for diagnostics and repair, $60 up front
• 3. Nasty rotten device comes to my repair bench to diagnose
• 4. Open it up, slap full of months of corrosion and literal rust
• 5. Inform front desk, they inform customer, grim odds
• 6. Customer insists, try to clean it up and fix it
• 7. Customer pays to order a new screen
• 8. Alright fuckit, they’re determined, so I clean the corrosion
• 9. Hurry up and wait while the screen is on order
• 10. Screen comes in, clean the board again for good measure
• 11. Install the screen, even test with a spare battery
• 12. No dice, it never had a chance in the first place

And I literally told the front desk and even the company boss that it had no chance to begin with. Was no sweat off my back, hell I probably made $80 wasting my time on the piece of literal shit anyways.

Now, where in the hell did you get the idea that I was the one that dropped it in the toilet?

Point is, stop giving toddlers electronics!

I didn’t ask years, I didn’t ask generations.

I simply asked for an overall count of how many versions, altogether. All years, all revisions, all models, simply count and give me a number, how many?

You folks know way more about the things than I do, to me they might as well all be e-waste at this point. Are there really that many versions that nobody can give me a simple fucking number?

Are you drunk? I asked for a simple number, not a fucking list.

You do know how to count, right? 1, 2, 3, 4, 12…?

I asked you (or whoever) for a number, not a list.

I guarantee you that I’ll never attempt to fix any of this N e-waste ever again anyways.

Bruh, my point is, it was freaking obvious that some toddler dropped the thing in the toilet, and the parents waited like 6 months while the thing rusted from the inside out before bringing it to a shop to attempt to fix it.

It was already practically hopeless, but I was tasked with trying to fix it, by my boss at work. Hell, the kid’s parents even bought the new screen.

Whether I’m drunk or not, point is I’m smart enough to not give toddlers electronics.

LOL, I didn’t upload those games from my own system!

Most of those games I never even downloaded in the first place, I just found a loophole in the systems out there at the time and tricked the archive to upload stuff from other servers…

Probably reasonable advice. 👍

You act like it wasn’t…

Hey, at least I was paid by the hour to waste my time attempting to fix it. Company dime, company time, and customer paid for the replacement screen even.

Sucks that I wasn’t successful, but damn, when the whole thing is literally rusted out, even the boss should have realized it was a hopeless cause. 🤷
