I have a genuine question. Years ago back in covid time I played a lot and got banned because I was cheating. I used the f11 method to mine cobblestone on my island. I quit the game for a long time but recently came back to it about a year and a half ago. I've pushed to over lvl440 and I'm sitting around a 20b nw and I just live in constant fear of getting wiped. I hear from people all the time of false wipes and so on and it terrifies me. Is it fair to live my life in this fear? I hear a lot of people getting wiped "unjustly" but is that just cope or are some of them being for real?

Was wondering if this is a good process and what yall would recommend. I borrowed a dual action buffer polisher from my friend and I was going to use it on my bike but figured while I have it I should do my car as well.

What I was going to do:

1. Clean and dry thoroughly (please recommend really good soaps)

2. Clay bar everything except the roof (not really seen since its a truck)

3. Use a polisher like megs ultimate then buff it off

4. Seal with some synthetic wax

Let me know if this is a good simple approach, I just have a lot of car wash swirls and surface scratches that dissappear when running water over them.

I've got a Google Pixel and honestly love the hardware and a lot of the software features (call screening, the camera post-processing, etc) but I'm trying to cut down on how much of my data Google is eating up..

Is it realistic to keep using a Pixel on stock Android while improving my privacy? Idk I've become so paranoid lately with everything in this surveyed world, some questions I have:

• Is GrapheneOS or CalyxOS worth it on a Pixel, and what do I actually lose by flashing one?
• How much can I get done just by disabling services/permissions on stock Android vs. needing a custom ROM?
• Is there a custom ROM out there that's not as crazy as Graphene, but can help a lot?
• Any features that are basically impossible to replace once you ditch Google services?

Thank yall

Been meaning to share this since it's saved me a bunch of time and headaches. If you've ever had a game update and suddenly all your ASM cheat codes stop working (or worse, crash the game), this tool fixes that without needing to wait on someone else to re-find or whatever the addresses.

What it does: Code Updater for Nintendo Switch takes an old main update file (the one your current cheats work on) and a new main update file from the game, then somehow relocates the code addresses to match the new build. Instead of manually hunting for new offsets every time a game patches, it handles the matching for you and outputs updated codes. Which for me is awesome cause I suck at stuff like this and just wanted to play my game lol.

Also want to shout out pspmaster for putting me onto this in the first place, wouldn't have known about it otherwise and his kindness in regards to helping me update my codes is extremely appreciated.

Figured I'd share this just cause I didn't know about it and if theres anyone else like me waiting for their favorite codes to be updated they can now do it themselves quickly and easily.

Hi im reaching out cause I saw a cheat code for hollow knight silksong 1.0.3 and im trying to figure out how to make my own. I just want 2x damage like I had on an old build version but anytime I try anything my game crashes cause im messing with the wrong memory most likely. The current build im usings one hit kill is 040A0000 023A5224 52800009 and an old build id 2x damage is 04000000 023203A4 4B150529 i was trying to make it work off that but im just stumped. Maybe yall can help?

Current version info

I scoured gbatemp to no avail

Hi, I'm looking to get some cheats setup for hollow knight silksong on my switch I recently did a play-through and thought the game was fantastic and cant stop talking about it, so my wife wanted to try it out. She is having an extremely tough time and asked if I could mod it so she could have a few more lives and maybe 2x damage and I figured it would be easy but all the cheat code databases I've run into are for outdated game versions. I'm running version 1.0.3 and the only cheat codes I could find are infinite lives or 1 hit kill. I've seen 2x damage and other stuff in old versions, maybe yall can help?

My switch throughout here and there use a couple hours apart just goes into sleep mode but whenever we leave it for hours untouched (but still docked) it shuts off entirely and I have to press and hold the power button for 12seconds let go press it again and it boots into original fw then shutdown go into rcm mode reinject payload and start playing again. I turned auto sleep to never and copy TV power state to no but it hasnt helped. Any ideas?

Sys not emu btw Latest hekate and atmosphere

Edit: it seems based on the logs to be due to sys-con i have a 8bitdo 2c i love to use on 2.4ghz and i can only get it to work w sys-con but sys-con pulls null memory and "sys-con + 0x14534" idk what to do i love my 8bitdo lol

So I genuinely don't understand NRO compatibility.

I keep running into homebrews that won't launch and I have zero idea if it's because:

- I'm on the wrong firmware version

- Atmosphère doesn't like it

- The NRO is just old and broken

- Some combination of all three

Im brand new to homelabbing and a lot of what im trying to do just crashes atmosphere and puts me back into the bootloader.

Is there like a way to check what version an NRO needs? Do they come with like... requirements listed somewhere? Or is it just trial and error?

Also if something doesn't work, can you actually fix it or do you just need to find a different version?

I'm running the latest hekate + latest atmosphere rn btw if it helps

Edit: Im a v1 switch using the RCM method and im running sys not emu setup if any of that helps as well lol

Hi i recently got a referral from my primary care to an ENT just cause I complained about waking up with heavy congestion everyday. I went in today and he told me that I have a crazy deviated septum and a bone spur that blocks about 95% of the airway. I didnt expect him to turn around and say let's get into surgery a week from now but here I am a week away from septoplasty not knowing what to expect. Im optimistic about the results though cause for as long as I can remember now Ive had such trouble breathing from my right nostril.

Tldr any advice, what to expect etc for someone that doesnt know anything abt this

About a month into daily driving Bazzite on my main rig (RTX 3080). I decided to take a safer approach and dual boot windows on the side and I won't lie, I've had to jump back and forth a couple of times but overall I feel like I might stick with it cause I'm optimistic of the future. Figured I'd just write a synopsis or something of what I've experienced for anyone like me interested in trying the same cause f*** Microslop and their monopoly.

Some positives along the way:
- Gaming performance has been awesome, a lot of the games I play work great with proton/wine compatibility.
- Love love love love love the immutable base image, I can't easily break things and it makes me happy lol.
- No Microslop telemetry, bloat, forced updates, ads everywhere, random background processes... I'm in love.
- Awesome community documentation

One thing I can say.. is once things work, they work. Gaming performance has been solid, the immutable image gives me awesome peace of mind and the rpm-ostree + distrobox has been nice for some dev environment stuff I do.

Some of the hiccups I've experienced:
- Prism Launcher + NVIDIA sandbox issues have been a headache. Modded Minecraft via Prism flatpak kept fighting with my NVIDIA GPU. Some QoL mods I enjoy I just gave up on and learned to live with out them. A few times while playing I had the whole screen take like a picture of itself and burn into my monitor. I don't have an OLED but it was exactly like OLED burn in just instantaneous, but a full restart fixed it.
- Smart card auth as been its own adventure. I dug down so many rabbit holes trying to get it figured out but just decided I'd whip out my laptop for smart card stuff.
- Middlemouse scrollwheel not being a thing has just been a personal bother I've had to get used to.
- Anti-cheat has been a problem and their compatability with Proton :(
- rpm-ostree has definitely been a learning curve
- Flatpak doesn't always play with files, devices or GPU the way you want it to.

Nearly every issue had a fix, and now that I'm past the initial pain I feel like I've fathered it and I don't want to leave. I know there will be more in the future that pains me, but its also fun to try and fix the issues (even if I'm on a time crunch).

Both of my 2025+ Mazdas have a bad mold/mildew smell when the AC is on worse on recirculate, less on fresh air intake. I sprayed Clorox into the cabin air intake and it worked for about two weeks.

Any permanent fixes its so hot out but the smell gives us headaches and is unbearable. The car has never been dirty or leaked water or anything
