Man, I have a new favorite animal, and it turns out it's a plastic clip

I absolutely love 1-bit art. This is awesome!

I found some record of it, but it looks like the homepage just links to a page saying they stopped in 2004 :(

You can buy chalkboard paint pretty easy though. Just buy a globe that doesn't have any topographical detail and paint it!

We used a hot plate that we could dial specifically to 70c so there was less risk of damaging the battery. Just leave the phone face down on it to bake, and after a few minutes the adhesive pulls apart easily.

iPhone XS is child's play, I genuinely can't fathom why a repair shop (Apple store no less) couldn't replace a screen on that device. 7 screws (including the pentalopes) and some heat is all you need. Takes 5 minutes of actual repair and another 2 or 3 to run the calibration software.

I've worked in a repair shop before, and we would actually do similar with specific devices. The difference with us I guess is that we wouldn't take it for repair without you consenting to that prior to us even checking in the device. For things like the original Microsoft Surfaces, and some Lenovo laptops, they're glued together so tightly that opening them up to fix something is basically impossible without breaking the screen that is on it.

Also with us if we took it for repair and couldn't fix it, it either had to come back in the same condition, or we fronted the bill for a replacement.

None of this applies to phones at all though. I'd be really interested to hear what device was so difficult that they couldn't repair it, because all current gen Samsung, Apple and Google Pixel devices are definitely repairable, as long as you have the proper software tools.

Hold on now, keep cooking

If it's actually still in date then yes, this is easily worth $250

I have the exact same experience. I explain health benefits to people for multiple different companies across the US. The number of airline pilots who see a 'forgot username or password?' button and just don't know what that means, or type their username in the password field and vice versa, even though they're clearly labeled, is insane.

I mean, like any pride flag, it's a symbol that is used to represent them. People like feeling represented, simple as.

It's actually pretty funny up until his balls show up, then it gets pretty predictable.

It's genuinely worth a read if you're not looking for something serious and are okay with cheap dick jokes
