It’s better not to do it if you don’t have experience especially because you would probably break a lot of plastic hooks that hold certain parts of the mask.
But if you dare, you can always have something unique :joy:

I emphasized that it is probably about the contacts of the LCD cable

because there are about 30-40 pins in a very small space

like this on MB
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

and then the same ones from the cable come to those pins above
and if it moves by less than a millimeter, there is no longer a proper connection

probably if you hold the laptop at one end
a large force acts on the other end (like a lever) and the laptop bends
during that bending, it is possible that something moves to the point where it loses its connection

That LCD cable is often placed in the grooves on the plastic mask and led all the way around to the display

So well,as the plastic moves due to your pressure or holding it with one hand, that cable probably moves and loses contact somewhere on connectors.

Unless contact is lost directly somewhere on the motherboard due to cold solder (variations in temperature cause the metal to expand and contract, which eventually leads to “contact holes”)

but fine as long as it doesn’t stay that way permanently
which would be possible especially because plastic and metal retain that state when heated

Yeh. It’s less of an experience thing and more of a constant anxiety of me thinking I will break something, but I’ve taken apart broken laptops pretty well and installed a new SSD in June with no problems. I just don’t like that I have to take everything apart.

I took 133 pictures/movies in just 1 day (the day I am posting this on) and 245 images/movies total.

Want a dump?

(jk, a lot of them are blurry and most are over the 4mb file limit)

Found some cute (and some uh… very very pitiful and painful) photos of animals.

I’ll do the first image though, free of charge.

It’s my down payment

I don’t feel like downloading and checking the metadata, so I’ll just ask directly, what camera did you use?

Fujifilm xp120.

I don’t know if the metadata has that, but it may (I ran the pic through a photoshop program).

oh god i am sick of this host

They (Cloudflare) could have given a few more RL rules for the birthday, but ok and 1 is more useful than none

I made one to protect the origin a little more from unnecessary REQs (for those who like to press refresh)

You will have to block a bunch of hosting (ASN) on CF as well as TOR, VPNs, ETC.
Protect critical addresses with page rules such as “I’m under attack” on the appropriate pattern
and do a bunch of what’s listed here

CF had to react if you did everything right
or you have a security flaw somewhere
or you have a designed website in such a way that everything is no cache must revalidate blah blah.

you can put this in .htaccess on this hosting
so that only the CF IPs has access to the origin (if someone wants to bypass it)

Yeah, its better then nothing. I use it to protect the entire site,
for pages, I just set “I’m under attack” mode like you mentioned

been whacked with another small scale ddos during my abuse suspention

Me, for example, at xy-login
if no data is entered in 3 seconds (browser autocomplete)
I put a redirect to my YT video :smile:

So if a bot (or someone undesirable) comes > at least some benefit !

so you can turn the drama into something positive

new host + rate limiting

I’m not sure myself, but I blame the admin in any case. :joy:
Interesting, the moderation recruitment process. Unlike any host I’ve seen.

Thank you so much, it’s good to be back!

Glad I was not one of the first mods :grin:
