I am looking to get some advice on how to fix some video game hardware. Where do I ask this? I'm not sure whether or not this falls under Arqade's range of questions.
 
Super User would be my guess.
err, wait, no, they only like computer-related questions
 
@ASCIIThenANSI IMO consoles falls under arqade scope

Q: hardware questions?

PulseHow should questions related to gaming hardware be handled?

^ Arqade looks okay with it.
(although that's a 4-year-old question)
 
@Doorknob I don't think age should matter. Thanks for the help!
Also, according to Arqade's tour, "Game-specific hardware and utilities" is covered as what you should ask there.

Not that the question is all that great to begin with.

@AstroCB well, maybe if we weren't too busy rejecting your suggested edits on meta.SE we coulda saw that one..
 
@AstroCB Why? The behavior is only shown on an iPhone, thus it's quite relevant.

@JeremyBanks If you don't mind me asking, what exactly do you work on at Google?

If people want to write a sort of CV in the profile, they can do this, I guess. Of course both an age field and a CV could be totally fake. Anyway it's nice to receive "happy b-day!" mails from websites: I got at least two of them every month. I know a NSFW webcam site asking for a scan of the driver license to the models, to avoid fakes and underage girls. — Marco Bernardini 1 hour ago
how. is. this. relevant.
 
It's not. What they wrote also cannot be considered anything near a rational thought.
 
TMI, I guess?

Rational thoughts are passé; it's all about the irrational desire to help people.

Well, when "'helpful flags" was added to replace "flag weight", I think it was intentionally hidden because people had been farming flags too much to drive up their flag weight.

So it's an interesting change...

@bjb568 The one with equations.
 
Ah
Algebra (from Arabic al-jebr meaning "reunion of broken parts") is one of the broad parts of mathematics, together with number theory, geometry and analysis. In its most general form algebra is the study of symbols and the rules for manipulating symbols and is a unifying thread of almost all of mathematics. As such, it includes everything from elementary equation solving to the study of abstractions such as groups, rings, and fields. The more basic parts of algebra are called elementary algebra, the more abstract parts are called abstract algebra or modern algebra. Elementary algebra is essential...
"Alga" redirects here. For places called Alga, see Alga (disambiguation). For other uses, see Algae (disambiguation). Algae (/ˈældʒiː/ or /ˈælɡiː/; singular alga /ˈælɡə/, Latin for "seaweed") are a very large and diverse group of eukaryotic organisms, ranging from unicellular genera such as Chlorella and the diatoms to multicellular forms such as the giant kelp, a large brown alga that may grow up to 50 meters in length. Most are autotrophic and lack many of the distinct cell and tissue types found in land plants such as stomata, xylem and phloem. The largest and most complex marine algae are...

If we get him up to double-digit kick-stars can’t we please banish him to Aldebaran or Alderamin or Algieba or Algol or Algebar or Algorab or Alioth, preferably by way of Betelgeuse or Fomalhaut? The Fish’s Mouth would do him a whale of good.
 
I really don’t know how to flag that question

it’s on topic, not spam... “very low quality”?

Q: My First Question

Math SoldierHelp!!: Prove or Disprove If $n$ is an integer such that $n > 2$, $x$ and $y$ are positive integer such that $x > y$ , then $\sqrt[n]{\frac{x^{2n} - y^2}{4}}$ is not a positive integer.

somebody gave a helpful answer to that first math question
 
I feel like this can be used on the majority of questions.

I just figured out "hell freezing over" is like "pigs flying" since hell is supposedly hot.

you were unaware that hell is hot?

@yellowantphil Butt monkeys you say? What monies do they accept?
 
3:22 AM
@bjb568 hell is neither hot or cold, just unpleasant
 
It does seem rather odd that one would not be aware of the hell/hot correlation, given its prevalence in popular culture.
I'm not religious at all, and I absorbed that information a very long time ago.

In many mythological, folklore and religious traditions, hell is a place of eternal torment in an afterlife, often after resurrection. It is viewed by most Abrahamic traditions as a place of punishment. Religions with a linear divine history often depict hells as eternal destinations. Religions with a cyclic history often depict a hell as an intermediary period between incarnations. Typically these traditions locate hell in another dimension or under the Earth's surface and often include entrances to Hell from the land of the living. Other afterlife destinations include Heaven, Purgatory, Paradise...
 
@tchrist why is there no English Academy? cf. Académie française and the Real Academia Española

@bjb I understand that you're on a crusade to obliterate the word "through" from the English language, but why would you edit someone else's post to use your (considered incorrect) form?

@AstroCB I reworded the entire unclear sentence.

and merriam-webster.com/dictionary/thru has it... @tchrist can validate its authority
 
The form isn't incorrect.
 
@bjb568 It's considered a less-correct form.
 
What's that even mean?
 
even thru you could argue for that spelling, you shouldn’t change other people’s posts like that

I'd say it's borderline okay because you reworded the entire thing, but still.
