#anyway youd think its an insane pipe dream but theres a guy on youtube thats been refining a semicon process in his garage since like 2016

i hate that screen connectors & protocols are like completely unregulated proprietary shit because it would be soooo coooool if it was just an easy thing to rip a screen out of an ancient phone with a bad processor and just use it for anything else. and ive SEEN people reverse engineer the pinout and signals of a proprietary laptop screen and its an incredible feat like its not something you can just do without a lot of luck and a lot of time and a lot of knowledge about all the ways it MIGHT work and even then that old ass laptop screen just used an old fashioned flat one dimensional connector that you can like bodge with solder if you want to. everything now has those stupid press on connectors bc nobody will buy a phone if its more than 3 millimeters thick. at this point i just want home semiconductor manufacturing to mature enough that people can just make shit themselves instead of having to hope the corporate gods will smile down on us and give us the rare piece of shit you can use for anything
