Oh yes batteries are very scary and shouldn’t be touched. Sounds like you just don’t understand how batteries work and are afraid of doing something simple. So you’ve made it more complicated and costly, to avoid… idk even know what. Replacing a battery isn’t sketchy, it’s friggen hilarious you claim it is. This applies to ANYTHING with a battery fyi.
It's not about the battery. You have to change it regardless of method used. But it's easier to just dump the memory and reload it. Then you even have a backup. You're just being pretentious honestly. I mean, it's not even about those games, it's about 3DS carts and you're over here jerking yourself off that you can change GBC carts.
How is adding steps and error potential easier?
In what world is more steps and more potential issues the easier method?
People have been doing this way since the 80s, without flag carts. What do you think people did before….
That's what I'm wondering as you're over here performing surgery and the rest of us are just plugging it into an adapter. But you clearly don't get that.
So Mr. Smartass, since this whole thing is about 3DS cartridges, let's see your magical way to hot swap those batteries. Let's see your SO EASY way. Constantly jerking yourself off claiming your some expert and you're not even talking about the carts that matter here. So let's hear it. Otherwise you were just being a pretentious ass showing off shit that's not even relevant here.
Touch some grass loser.
I fucking hate lemmy users sometimes dude...
Nobody is saying the battery itself is the dangerous part, though you beat up that strawman!
I asked the person, and they couldn’t articulate what the issue was. They seem to think removing a live battery is dangerous, they never stated otherwise.
Some people think you can’t replace a battery while the equipment is on, you can replace your car battery while it’s running. There’s literally no danger involved ever.
People who fix machines for a living make sure they neutralize energy sources wherever possible just because. There's no actual reason for turning off equipment before you work on it. You'll never drop a wrench or touch something hot. Just yolo that shit, what could go wrong?
You understand there are circumstances where you need to work live?
Yes LOTO/try is needed when working on actual dangerous stuff, batteries, which aren’t having a current run through since the equipment isn’t on. Isn’t dangerous. Have you ever seen a forklift charging station, my god, you disconnect those live from the chargers, such an issue….
Leash.
Put a blanket down.
If you are taking something “apart” to fix it, I would assume the person has some knowledge and a modicum of critical thought and will figure out ways to deal with mundane issues.
Nah you literally don't understand why the rules are the rules and you're a dangerous and shitty mechanic.
You’ve never worked in some place in -50 eh? Shut the vehicle off to work on it, and it ain’t starting again. And guess what, they don’t shut off while refueling either.
Spicy and risky, yet commonly done when needed, and perfectly safe with a few precautions as I pointed out.
Tradesman know there’s situations where the rules are changed, if you think they are white and black, you’re not a mechanic and are just lying.
You know there’s suits that have to energize live lines right? Obviously it isn’t done when not needed, but it’s done often enough, there’s rules and ways to do it safe. Shocking eh?
I know LOADS of tradies and I don't know a single one who would swap out a car battery live.
Nope, you're a dangerous person.
There’s being cautious, then there’s wrapping yourself in bubble wrap. You are implying and saying here that you should unplug a battery charger before removing the dewalt battery.
Those cautions are for the laymen’s that don’t know better, or would spill alcohol in the room and then remove the battery. Yes there is SPECIFIC cases where it’s dangerous, not all cases. You’re using them backwards. Which also, unplugging the charger would be the spark that caused the ignition ironically in that situation…
nice job handling being wrong
They aren't.
