I used to work at a tech repair company. I've probably repaired close to 50 switches. Even without replacing the digitizer just replacing the LCD and not even messing with the smaller PCB for the digitizer just unplugging the ribbon cable and plugging it back in would sometimes mess with the digitizer. I didn't realize that Hekate had a digitizer calibration but if I ever feel like picking up my modded switch again, I'll keep it in mind. Personally I'm not a fan of the console.

Good news is it's really easy to replace the Nintendo Switch battery. Bad news is if the LCD goes bad or you get the blue screen you're fucked. You can replace the LCD but the digitizer will give issues after messing with it 9/10 times. Reflowing is only a temporary solution to blue screen. I guarantee one or the other will happen within 20 years.

He said he's an IT professional for 20 years. That's like the epitome of patience for reading documentations and troubleshooting

Motorolas are basically the best bang for your buck. Especially for enthusiasts. They usually come with decent battery size, 3.5mm jack, and even LED notification.

This exact thing used to happen to me with Lyft. I would be out late until around 2am at my friends house some nights drinking. When I would open the Lyft app and look for a ride back home they would be at around $90!!!! I would wait for about 20 minutes and the price would drop to about 35-40$. It was outrageous and made no sense. Eventually I stuck with just grabbing a cab each time instead for around 45$

I have a large music collection and store them on various SD cards in addition to my usually hard drives. When I want to listen to music I pop it in my Sony phone and listen to them. I refuse to use music streaming apps. I've tried SoundCloud, Spotify, and Google Music and each one didn't have niche songs I enjoy. I Also there are various songs across various streaming services that I listen to but none all on the same service. I would rather own the files myself and put together my own comprehensive playlists. So I just pop it into my phone, enjoy the music I like, at no cost to me and I don't have to worry about my Internet service in various places that I work out of that are deep in a building and don't get any reception. I have lots of movie files and pornography that take up terrabytes. I need these on a Micro SD card because my phone's internal storage isn't large enough. I have another SD card with all my gba roms and saves that I can pop into my phone and play GBA games if I'm waiting around at the DMV, public spaces. Theen when I'm home I can pop that same SD card out with all my saves and roms and put it in my ez flash and play on my actual modded Game Boy Advance or into my modded a GameCube and play them without having to copy and paste save files, etc.
