I have been enjoying the original console I designed and built myself running a raspberry pi 5 and a fully built and compiled retropie that can crank out some dolphin and redream with full 60fps. I have plenty 90s gaming I need to catch up on.

For everything moderately modern, I have a steam deck. If it doesn’t or cannot run on my retropie or my deck then I’ll wait till the next hardware refresh. If it takes half a decade, all the better.

Ditto this. I use zwave motion sensors and in-wall zwave switches

I work in devops…

Who do you think you are? No one cares. ACAB, and religion is bullshit.

Yikes! That’s just about the worst case scenario. It’s maddening the shortcuts companies play to save literally pennies. Sounds like you’ve at least solved the problem so hopefully the replacement and all that work is fruitful!

I did a quick look and it doesn’t look like the switch is directly on the motherboard so most likely there’s a JST plug or something similar with wire leads that then hook into the switch and/or a daughter board. If it’s just two wires into a JST plug you can replace the switch with anything similar or if you wanna be ghetto about it just touch the two wires together to make a short.

You can probably get the exact switch if you look hard enough since almost everything but the exterior shell will be commodity components.

Good luck!

Honestly, momentary switches are the simplest of all circuits. The only hard part will be soldering a new one into the old leads. What laptop is it? I can look and see what I think.

As someone who was in the infantry and knows a LOT of soldiers stationed at the DMZ, this shit is not news.

about that…

Unfortunately your guide links to stuff on adafruit that’s out of stock - mostly the screen/microprocessor…

I found this guide that has a walk through with full code and an easy to use library for making the interface quite a bit better:

https://www.makerguides.com/digital-clock-crowpanel-3-5-display/

I’m going to be building two initially for myself and my girlfriends kid but once I work out the details I’ll post it up on the fediverse somewhere with the full code to get going.

I am much more keen to use C instead of Python for something like a clock although I’m sure circuit-python is fast enough, id rather stick to native libraries.

I kinda wanna reverse/side engineer a replica you can DIY because fuck Nintendo.

You gotta remember that this is a training video and showing the best of the best vs. what you’d normally see which is much more sloppy. You’d only be this exact if you’re getting dressed down for fucking up something big or in garrison doing something in front of spectators, like a parade or when someone is getting a big promotion and their family is there, or flag duty… stuff like that.

Just one more COPE and everyone on earth will immediately stop driving so much and eating so much meat.

Closing topic.

Original poster had no intention to contribute anything positively.

Nix closes issues on their repository to force issue here, but it’s not our issue. They do things that are unsupported and are running into issues. That’s why it’s unsupported.

We actively reduce the scope of what we support to reduce maintenance burden. We’re not interested in user requirements prevailing at the cost of our maintainers. Our current supported options support all common use cases and we’re not going to expand this at this point.

We can’t even get motherfuckers to eat slightly less meat – they ain’t stopping till the subsidies stop.

My mom is dead, bellend.

LOL Cope dickcheese.

Veganism isn’t a diet.

no…

i mean yes
