So I picked up the EZ Flash Jr. last year and it is works great, but my battery died within a year, so I decided to solder in a bigger socket for a larger battery.
The result? It barely fits. Had to very carefully make some small safety adjustments to the case and socket.
  • the case has less give and as such I now have to be more careful with hitting the Reset Button
  • only the right side of the larger housing is soldered to the board for sizing reasons
  • the battery and housing are now very close to touching the pins on the close chips (and have bridged them once during testing!)
Should you do this? If you know the risks.

Here's some pictures:

    I know the pricing of electronics nowadays isn't "how much it actually costs" but "how much we can get away with", but putting up a poll is just cynical.

    that game's engine is really fucking intensive so it runs like literal shit on xbox 360 and ps3
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Nah I'm getting value creep again. I look at a $50 console "but for just a few more dollars you could get XYZ" and I end up considering the Steam Deck.

    i dont get why they didn't port the one game that ran the worst on consoles, to pc
  • Julie_Pilgrim @ Julie_Pilgrim:
    like you port everything to pc except the one game where it would make the most sense. why. what do you gain from this
  • Julie_Pilgrim @ Julie_Pilgrim:

    The big leap in all things tech is when carbon based chips start hitting.

    Longer battery life cooler temps and faster! What's not to like lol (probably expensive as hell)
