I found this at Goodwill by me for 8.99 not knowing what it really was but it was taped in box with a note saying it works. I suspect it was repaired. It's complete with a battery that is dead but it's like 30 years old. I just need better headphones.
I have since watching Mr. Robot met people with DID and other disorders. I have noticed most of the people I know surprised that I don't get freaked out or think bad of them just for having DID and other personality disorders. I kind of wonder if the way they frame DID in Mr.Robot kind of gave me an accepting idea of what it means to have it. Of course with out the super-level hacking. It's really the first depiction I saw that wasn't horror movie like.
We never have CRTs at my goodwill. They reject them. But today I was roaming around and saw this beast 19 inch for 6.99. I had to buy it. 🤣 I never thought I would find one again that I could afford. I know a guy who does RGB mods on these TVs. Did I have a good find?
I have been using the internet as long as I can remember as an elder millennial. I am tangled up in apple, google and like every other social media and media conglomerate. I have been following this group and other security-focused groups for years and don't know where to start. Like I get overwhelmed. I feel like everyone else I trusted these faceless corporations too much for too long and want to get out. Problem is on the phone watch side is money. I want to pay off my apple phone and maybe get a pixel. I don't know about smart watch. I like it for when I go on hikes and track my location but that is also a weakness.
So I want to make a sound studio in my bedroom. I don't need like pro quality but something decent. I want to do like voice lessons and basic practice. The only place to sit is in my bed. I want to work on one in the basement but that will take years and lots of money. I find this is an interesting thought experiment. What to do with what I mostly have other than affordable solutions. I want to do most things from my iPad and my laptop.
I work at goodwill and found this. How does this game exist? Looks so bad. Almost want to buy it for shits and giggles.
How to get started getting into home assistant. I want to make my own. I have been using Alexa for a long time and want to cut the cord. I am not exactly happy giving them all my info and think it would be a fun exercise. I want to start with my bedroom which would be lights, TV, and game systems. I have lots of Raspberry Pi 3 and hp office computer with an i3 processor. I need to go find the specs. I don't have much of a budget. I think the prices of things are crazy with the ai boom.
I have a Lenovo yoga 7i. It has a faulty touch pad. It is either drivers or a kernel level issue. It doesn’t matter if I use windows or Linux that this becomes an issue. When I have a fresh install everything works. Then I update it all goes to shit and works only half the time. There is very little documentation I have found of this issue. I am hoping by installing arch that I can kind of build what drivers are needed and lock it in without the problem of having to upgrade like every year. I don’t want to give up on this laptop because build quality is amazing and the screen is beautiful.
I own a Lenovo yoga 7i and it has faulty drivers. I have a fresh reinstall and everything works. After I update it goes to shit and my touch pad only works half the time. How to I block driver updates and allow everything else to be upgraded. I have a fresh install but will not update online until this gets sorted out. Most of the tutorials I see are just for nvidia drivers.
I have a 2023 yoga 7i 16.5. I had had a faulty track pad with in the first year of owning it. It works sometimes. I always feel like it works amazing on a fresh install and then drivers update and it goes to shit. I need to find proper drivers on a fresh install and stop updates for the track pad. Never done this before. Has anyone else had this issue. I don’t have the money to replace and I would love to keep it out of a landfill
I am in the process of getting ready to rebuild the game pad. The R and L triggers are the worst they are stuck and don’t allow me to control the Wii U. I don’t see how this will fix them. And do I have the right part. I ordered from Ali express. I currently have analog sticks and rubber membranes to replace because why not I am taking this thing apart. The battery seems to be fine so I don’t need that at the moment. Edit: I figured out the problem only half of the controllers ribbon cable. Time to order again and wait lol. Might try to get it on eBay so I don’t wait a month again.
I was wondering if it’s worth getting a 360. I have a ps3 Wii U and was thinking about adding a 360 for western gaming and ports. So I can play fallout new Vegas and old dragon age games. Also halo nights. I know that the ports are better and wonder if I can use it for its strengths . I want to get on play mostly on hard drive so I don’t have to collect discs and use usb adapters to use any controller. Which version should I get. Was thinking jasper or slim. I love the size of the slim but the jasper is so iconic and I love the white.
My fairly new hobby is interior design for the maximalist lol. My name is Skyler and go by she/them pronouns. I have been only out for a few months to family. I feel this project was one of the first for me to show my nb side. It is kind of freeing that I have this much flexibility and control. I am constantly adding to my own bedroom. It’s crazy cluttered gaming/office/relaxing room. These are some things I have done.
Will update on here when they change. Lots of my design is about accessibility and coming up with ways to make my autistic/adhd nonbianary brain work. Everything needs to be convenient and accessible. I even have a bed chair back and desk.
I feel this could break into helping others with accessibility like if you can’t walk making things close by and not easy to get lost.
There are lots of ways to make life easier and it takes going to dolar store, wallmart. I got lots of stuff from Ali express, Amazon and Etsy. But I mostly look for stuff at thrift stores and by nothing groups. I am also getting into diy. I have shelves I bought from goodwill for like 3.99 and then I spray painted them. I can go on in my posts. I just want to end this and say hi everyone.
Oh that tablet system is a Wii U. I kind of made it the center of this room.
This is a vintage Northface bag I found last year. I paid like 100$ at an outdoor gear consignment shop. It had the original zip ties on all the straps. It was never used and loved the colors. I just need to get in shape and plan a trip that would use this size of pack. I think this is 90s but I am not sure.
My new to me vintage Osprey bag made in the USA in Colorado. I do not know the year of it or model. I got it for 10.99 at the goodwill I work at. Can anyone help me identify it. I want to try going on a hike with it when my health gets better. This will go well with my north face that I will show on here in the future. I kind of want to wash it. I didn’t see any tears when I picked it up.
So I found these locker organizers at dollar general today. These have magnetic backs but you could easily add 3M command strips to these and organize your Wii controllers. They were $1.25 a piece. Much cheaper than Amazon. Plus fun colors. There was of course black and white but what’s the fun of that.
My local retro game store did not update the prices on these games. I can’t believe I got tokken for this price. I am lucky. These games seem to be going up like everything else. Not asking for valuation I already know the prices. I ran out the store lol.
What is the best adhd friendly apps for planning and making lists. Most do not work and I have waisted lots of money over the years. Mental heath app finch worked to a degree until it didn’t. I hardly look at it now after being religious for I think 268 days? Everything costs so much to just try anymore.
So I want to start voice training. I tried [r/voice](r/voice)[taining](r/voice) and and didn’t see anything on it which is weird. So I am trying here. I want to work on my voice with audio recording and play back. For now in my bedroom on an iPad. I want like a headset with a mic. I know separate is better but small is small so needs to be compact. What’s everyone’s experience?
I have a pair of Corsair void headphones. Old enough to be micro usb charging. The battery is dead and it needs new pads. Is it worth putting money into it. Good pads are like 30$ and a fresh battery is 15$ or would it be better spent on a new headset?
