Yeah, its absolutely not a space problem. The Samsung S10e has a headphone jack, a SD card slot, and has a 5.8" display. Its way smaller than the vast majority of phones today, yet it has all of these features.
I think we all know the reason apple removed it was because they can sell you the worse product for more.
Having the reader on the back was easily the best spot. The only thing I miss from my old phone.
Oh, I know what you're talking about. I got a "new" phone a few months ago. Was thinking about either the pixel 4a or Samsung S10e, and went with the latter.
The cool thing is that both of these phones have LineageOS support. I didn't try it yet, but LOS sounds pretty awesome, I hope that I won't be disappointed.
What a coincidence. Just yesterday I saw a video about how Mario Galaxy works from a technical perspective, and water was one of the topics.
As it turns out, the water effect was done by manipulating the floor texture with a noise pattern to make it squiggly, and then putting a transparent layer above. It looks pretty good and doesn't need much processing power.
I just thought that was interesting.
Awesome to hear that it works on real hardware. It's so cool to play new mods on decades old consoles.
Valid concern. I made a little visual inspection from the inside of course, but didn't find anything. Now that I think about it though, I didn't check below the PCB.
Another person also mentioned that my soldering work isn't that clean, so I will probably open the thing again and check for bugs and redo my the cable.
Yes you're right, it really isn't the cleanest soldering work. I'm still practising a lot.
It is probably fine though, I tried pulling the cable apart where I soldered with quite a bit of force, but it didn't loosen a bit.
The TV also only consumes 52W according to the back label, so it should be fine.
On the other hand through, this really is a connection that needs to be really solid.
You're right, I should probably revisit it. I'll see when I have time for it.
Well, I guess there are some people that really think that the few grams of copper inside the cable is worth something. Most people see CRTs as worthless today anyway, which is pretty sad.
