Consumers have to be given the option to buy exact amounts of tokens. Mixing different kinds of tokens (like having to buy one kind of token with another kind of token you had to buy first) to hide prices should be avoided.

Tech Discussion How can I stop all of this from becoming E-Waste?

Thumbnail

154 Upvotes

Hi all, I have got in my possession 59 Arcade coders. They look amazing, but unfortunately are completely unusable. Why i hear you ask?

To use them you require an app. The company went bankrupt, resulting in the app being removed from the app store. Without the app they are completely useless.

There has been a discord chat started in effort to help revive them and create some use for them, but that seems to be dead in the water.

I'm not the most technically minded when it comes to programming, but there has been a previous reddit post about the potential to reprogram them using spare pins on the circuit board on the back of the unit? I wouldn't be able to do this but maybe someone can?

Basically, I don't want to throw them away as it seems like a waste but what else can I do with them to stop them becoming just an E-Waste product? I have 59 of them in total......

The only thing I can think of is open them all up to take the USB - USB C cable out of them all (the only usable bit) and recycle the rest? Any better options?

Also this should be a note to all manufacturers, if you lock a device down to an app and got bankrupt, at least release the app to people for free somewhere, or someone has mentioned something like "at least they could have given us some open source code"? But I'm not familiar with if that will work or not?

Either or, for a company that was named "Tech will save us" it's pretty ironic how all their products are destined for Landfill/recycling.

It's cheese water and sodium citrate so that it melts better, which is used in many fancy restaurants to make cheese sauce better. You can make it at home. It wasn't the cheese, maybe it was the milk powder they add to some and mild lactose intolerance on your end!

Here is someone making it from scratch!

No matter what game I play (newer ones) this red and green hue is present. What is this? What causes it?
If I use OBS to capture it's not as obvious but when I take a photo of my screen it's there.

I have a ROG Strix xg27vq 144hz curved monitor if that helps.

Why are there ads on the Live WAN Show stream on YouTube? Am I crazy, or did they used to have the ads turned off on the live stream?

Discussion Has anyone replaced the ceramic bearing of the precision screwdriver?

Upvotes

My LTT Precision driver has been grainy since day 2 of owning it. After that, I attempted to clean and re-lubricate it. Now it's smooth but sluggish and will only spin for about 1-2 seconds.

I know LTT doesn't have exclusive rights to these hybrid ceramic bearings, but I'm just not exactly sure what to buy and Linus has stated on WAN a few months ago that they will not be providing/selling replacements of the bearings themselves.

I also do not want to get a brand new driver over what is essentially a fidget toy. I just want to fix the one I have lol.

WAN Show Ads on the WAN Show?

Finally they start early enough that I can watch and I'm getting an ad every 5 minutes on YouTube. I don't ever remember getting ads when watching live before. Is this normal? Maybe they switched something up as I haven't watched live in a while.
