Nice, yeah I actually have a pretty sweet little small electronics repair kit and the replacement screen, just haven’t gotten around to doing it cause time.
Previously ran into the issue of not grounding properly before getting into the guts of a device and fried a motherboard!
niceee, plus you’re cleaning up the lake!
Hope you find something cool :)
Any tips you would proffer for someone considering a similar repair? (Iphone SE 2nd gen ~2019)
You guys magnet fishing or just dragging the old fashioned way?
I had a magnet fishing kit but for some dumb reason I never took it out and ended up giving it away when I moved, kind of want to get one again and see whats in some nearby lakes.
I didn’t go to Harvard, but I hear you words - I don’t have an accent or sound uneducated so I get “passing”.
I think because of it we see the worst - we see their scorn without any kind of filter, why would you hold back if you’re talking to someone who isn’t a part of that class?
There are more of us out there!
Yeah I live amongst a lot of coastal elites, they don’t get it at all.
Spouse and I have Michigan as one of our five year plan possibilities!
I probably break a lot of stereotypes, or maybe I don’t?
I’m a woke leftist who grew up “poor” (United States) in a rural farm area, yet I wasn’t a farmer, and had two college educated parents.
My roots are redneck, I grew up eating hunted game and surrounded by corn fields and forests.
I watch Democrats where I live now mock rural people, which is a shame. You should mock their bigotry and their stupid ideas, but you shouldn’t mock their existence or scorn all things rural.
These people are the downtrodden workers we’re supposed to stand for, they just need to be reached with the right messaging to break the chains of decades of propaganda and education, but no one really seems to want to do that.
I’ve always been a misfit, didn’t fit in with the red necks, but I don’t fit in with the cultured people, I guess I am the intersection of two borderzones of American culture, and it kind of fucking sucks.
People make tons of assumptions about me from first glance, but I don’t even know where I fall on half of the scales of sexuality and gender, I’m just me - I like to dance, I like good music, I to look at beautiful versions of the human form.
Thanks for reading.
in 2026 NO 21+ ADULT should get a second look for possessing cannabis.
Come at me.
You just described every job I have every worked at, useful information either way because its all dead on point and important to keep in mind.
this is way more indepth and informative than I could of possibly hoped for, thank you so much - I’ll get started with CC from ISC2.
Honestly one of the most interesting parts to me as I enjoy the concept but it can be tricky to filter out bad information from good. Do you have any recommended readings on the subject, any books or info you would consider to be biblical in their importance or fundamental?
appreciate the feedback, “learn to code” was pushed for so long, now “coding is dead” is the new vibe, but glad to hear there may still be options for people like me out there.
Going to continue to hone my skills and work my unrelated job as long as it lasts.
Do you see viable career paths for people who love technology and computer science without a formal degree who is interested in getting into it, or is that just a dead end pipe dream?
As a general user I have not really seen many calls for donations / volunteering / help requested, I think more people would be willing to pitch in if tangible needs were presented clearly - but maybe I’m alone in my willingness to help.
I mean this discussion is centered around static location and a target that can be color primed for recognition, so I think most of your points fall flat.
Sticking your fingers in your ears and pretending it is fully worthless is not a productive take, but I understand it is the cultural zeitgeist around here - I’m willing to go against a wave when I think its partially wrong.
I don’t see anything that indicates danger according to the american cancer society, according to them it is entirely cost benefit although they do admit it has not been thoroughly studied in populations 45+.
Having multiple sex partners, or recently divorced is an indication for getting it though - so if you’re a big 'ol slut (<3) you should consider it at any age, if you can get it paid for.
yeah, although I feel like open communication leads to more people realizing, but I get your point.
I feel like the democratization of global communication led to “a new hope” of sorts, and now we’re living through “The Empire Strikes Back”
Just got to make it to the third movie before things get too bleak… Hopefully…
ah, the way you said “encourage” led me to believe you meant that it was not available, and that discussion of which would encourage its development further. The slippery slope debate about its use elsewhere is valid, but I think it is also valid to discuss it as an alternative when discussing viable death penalty executioners, and it is part of my reasoning for why the death penalty is wrong across the board.
If you think this sort of technology won’t be deployed the moment a serious civil uprising occurs, well then I envy you because I would love to live under that belief - but I don’t.
yeah but the realization for large portions of the population is what is new, although I agree that it has always been just marketing!
Did you feel like the battery replacement lived up to your hype? In the past I have replaced a battery and have wondered afterwards if it actually made much difference… Maybe it was old stock, but I felt like the original battery and the 3rd party replacement were about the same :(
