  • You don’t always need to replace the part with something the manufacturer offers as a replacement. Something like a screen board might be hard/ impossible to find an alternative for, but things like buttons or sensors inside of mice are rarely something made specifically by the mouse manufacturer. They can almost always be replaced by an equivalent generic part. Hell, my 3D printer motherboard took a shit on me a couple years ago, and I bought an aftermarket board and installed 3rd party firmware on it to get it up and running again.

    Like you said it’d be great if it were just easy for everyone to do these things, but as devices get more advanced they’re gonna require more advanced knowledge to work on, and not everyone has the time, interest, or resources to learn how to diagnose and repair stuff.








  • … No? My first thought when I read the title of the article was, “well obviously he can’t control the weather.”

    But rather than immediately saying “Republicans bad” and moving on, the second thought occurs, “maybe they’re complaining about the logistics side of things, like snow plows and clearing teams?” which would be a valid complaint.

    Finally, instead of simply accepting the followup thought, we read the article, and see that they are in fact complaining about the man not controlling the weather.













  • The position is sitting looks off for one. I know phones are light and we don’t know how fluffy the couch is, but it doesn’t seem to “sink” into the blanket at all. It also looks like it should be sliding down the couch at the spot it’s at, especially with the dog on the couch.

    The lighting also looks weird, like why is 3/4 of the screen dark like its in a shadow and the other 1/4 is bright, while the whole phone is sitting in a bright spot from the window? There doesn’t seem to be a shadow coming from it either
