I tried it again this and it also didn't work so I used the sucker, I'm just assuming what I have is just trash quality.

From what I've seen you have to have your tip hot enough that it will melt the solder through the wick (i.e. you push the iron tip onto the wick which pushes onto the solder)

A photo of the front panel of an ASUS AP201 case, showing off the replaced headphone jack. The only noticeable sign is a slightly darker tone on the metal ring compared to the microphone jack beside it

A photo of an eBay order receipt, showing that the 10 pack of headphone jacks cost $9.76 plus $8.11 in shipping for a total of around $19 total

Reminder that being able to repair your electronics is cool and good

For 20 bucks, I was able to buy a 10 pack of headphone jack replacement parts and fix the broken one on my desktop so I didn't have to somehow find a whole front panel or buy a whole new case

Hi #bevy ! It may be release season, but it's time for a quick #bevymergetrain. As I explained this morning in a mentoring meeting with a PM from #godot (!), each week, I go over the community-approved PRs and make a final call.

Let's take a look at the 8 PRs: github.com/bevyengin...

Look, I promise, my Bluesky timeline isn't all doom and gloom.

I have really kind, thoughtful friends. I don't know how I became so fortunate as to have met really nice people despite it all, but I'm grateful for that, and I don't want it to ever be forgotten that I am very lucky.

I think that as an indie game dev without a large publisher, your target audience is not gamers in general, it is sickos.

It's hardcore sickos that will be diving the depths of your genre and finding your game, and it is sickos who will be spreading it.

Please the passionate, not the masses.

environmental storytelling used purposefully can warn the player this opponent is higher level and more dangerous than the character art suggests

Look you just have to make the cool weird shit that excites you. You must. In this world besieged by bland, scrubbed boring, computer slop, you must. Make the thing you’re embarrassed to make, the thing that feels “too much” because otherwise we get drowned in a sea of cowardly work made by a button

sometimes you think about how many people around you share the same exact interests as you, but you'll never ever get to meet them
