That is what I am up to. Not sure what is the best way to do it yet.

I possess soldering skills so that is no issue.
I been reading and things are confusing for me. Some say that I only need 2 wires to run across the motherboard and run ABadAvatar. But if I read ConsoleMods wiki, it seems that I need a programmer. I have ordered rpi pico for this and will dive into it once I figure out the process.


I have heard servers for xbox TF2 are still there. Man, vanilla release-era classic TF2 gameplay 🤤


A certified, bona fide banger! I am lucky having it in Steam.


I am specifically looking into modding. Is there anything cool I can do with it besides ABadAvatar? I am planning to expand storage to 1TB SSD. Drive also can be flashed but it seems to be super expensive to get flashing tool for that.
Also, if I go ABadAvatar route, is there a way to lock xbox into autobooting directly into Aurora without waiting for ABadAvatar to perform unschackle?


Where I am at right now, 1L of Super E10/95 octane is 2.10euro while Diesel can go as high as 2.29. Outside of the city I have seen 2.29 for Super E10/95 octane.
Not 2.50 yet, and probably will go down since, allegedly, Iran/USA bombing is done for now. But I cant pass over the fact that it got from 1.60 to 2.20 in a span of one month. Fucking happy my car has 1.2L engine.
Personal anecdote, so take it with a grain of salt.
Friend A, very handy and skilled individual, took Thermodynamics in UNI for 2 years, then dropped out. Found job at electronics production facility. Managed to get to a Head Technician position.
Friend B, went to programming 3 years to UNI. Barely managed to finish. Retried math exam multiple times. Though friend A, managed to get a job at the same place as a lower tier machinery operator. Got promoted to technician position after 2 years. Now works as web QC for the same guy who is boss of electronic production facility.
Moral of the story: education, finished or not, existing or not, wont get you far unless you are outgoing and have connections. Also, you either have ability to learn new skills or have said skills and know how to use them. Doesn’t matter how you got them.


If my conversion is correct, that would be aprox 1.45euro/L for Reguolar. Super close to prior-to-iran-war prices but would love to see them pay 2.50.
For US netizens, again if I am converting the right way, 2.50eur/L of Regular would be around $11 per gallon.


For the most part you do not need expensive JBC tools or some super expensive testing tools.
If you plan to dive in, start simple with some USB soldering iron, multimeter and some cheap 20V labratory PSU. I found FNIRSI offers a USB-PD soldering iron with JBC tips for under $100 that is comparable to Weller 80W professional soldering station I got at work.
The other part is just trial and error. Try with simple electronics or guides. Get the general idea on how things work. Most of problems are already solved. It is easy to find repair guide for some old gaming tech or how to chip your consoles.
Have fun!


If you did soldering for the first time - your joins are pristine. They are completely fine unless you want to fulfill IPC-A-610 standard.


Bought my wife Tefal pressure cooker. She made a simple soup with just beef, potato, carrot cubes and a bit of spices. Meat came out so soft you could peel it with your fingers.
When we do chicken soup, meat effortlessly falls off bones. Pressure cookers are crazy! I’m a big fan!


I think second category would be called “Seasoned” and not “Spicy”.


If we are talking about cuisine, then mine is that intensely spicy food (e.g. Indian, Korean, Laos, etc.) is heavily overrated.
I prefer a taste bouquet of a carefully crafted meal. Hotness should be a nice touch, not a dominant agony. Food should not require a built tolerance to it’s ingredients in order to be enjoyed.


What did you expect by going to .ml instance and try to set a point that goes against the community’s ideology? You thought you’d change their minds? Convert them?
To put it simply, what would you expect to happen if you would go to Star Wars forum and told them that Star Wars is shit and Star Trek is better?
1st paragraph - a mirror. As if I’m writing this.
2nd paragraph - even tho I hate exclusivity that they have established, it is not primary reason why I would never use EGS. For me, primary one would be them having a downright crap launcher. The rest is just more reasons to skip using EGS.


I liked how you could download free trial LimeWire but then download cracked version off it and use premium features. Fun times


I havent paid a single cent to HP franchise in ages. But I still find books cool. Should I disregard quality/fun aspect of something even if creator of that thing is a POS and I havent gave them any money in a very long time?


Same fucking reason why Star Wars, Star Trek, Ghostbusters and many other old good media is still popular today. Nostalgia.
I think it still requires firmware flasher that costs a hefty sum.
