Is There an Way to connect an Nintendo switch lite to an TV

[compact shale]

I sees some people do that with like an Raspberry Pi but i dont have one

[modest junco]

it's impossible, the switch lite usb-c port can't deliver a video output.

[compact shale]

Oh ok

[modest junco]

The video chip for external display on the motherboard has also been removed

you could use a projector i guess...

[compact shale]

What kind of projector i can buy it

[modest junco]

set it up so the camera captures the screen, and then projects that onto a wall

[compact shale]

Ok

[modest junco]

I hope you're not actually planning on doing that

it's not worth it 😭

at that point, you really should have just purchased a regular switch, or the oled variant

[compact shale]

I was planning on getting one, I didn't know how an nintendo switch work then

[modest junco]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mJ4-HXS2H74

you were looking at this video weren't you?

[compact shale]

yeah

[modest junco]

That's a jailbroken switch

[compact shale]

does it work

[eager walrus]

No

[compact shale]

Oh

[modest junco]

yes? but you'd have to spend more money then it's worth

[eager walrus]

Not to mention jailbreaking is also um..

[modest junco]

It's something I doubt you have the time and most importantly, experience to do.

[compact shale]

ima search raspberry pi to see what it is

[modest junco]

Best bet would be to trade for a switch

[modest junco]

sigh...

[eager walrus]

Facts

[modest junco]

that won't work

[eager walrus]

Even the normal one is fine

[modest junco]

yeah that's the thing

buying a lite, and now looking for how to dock it???

[compact shale]

I sees it everywhere even on reddit

I didn't know about an nintendo switch then

[eager walrus]

I thought it was common sense Lite can't be connected to TV legally 😭 but that happens too

Everyone learns from their mistake

[modest junco]

I'll help sum it up for you then.

three models

Lite < Regular < Oled

^regular, lite, oled

[compact shale]

An lite cant connect to an tv but the other 2 can

[eager walrus]

Just heads up, Lite is mostly given to kids as they don't need touch screen nor detachable joycons

[eager walrus]

Yes

[modest junco]

Lite does not dock, and doesn't feature detachable joycons

There's more to that... but this is the two key aspects you should know

[compact shale]

Ima get an Oled because the Regular one is to big

[eager walrus]

OLED is bigger

[modest junco]

Oled and regular are the same size...

[eager walrus]

The OLED one is the white one

[eager walrus]

Like the screen is bigger by bit

[compact shale]

oh

[modest junco]

the display is bigger, the console itself is the same though?

I tried putting my oled in my friend's v2 dock

worked just fine

[eager walrus]

Ye

[compact shale]

I saw an video and the Regular nintendo switch was bigger

[eager walrus]

That's weird

Prob angle of the camera?

[compact shale]

Its maybe the kind of Oled they have

[modest junco]

both are about the same, with the OLED being slightly bigger

Basically identical though

[compact shale]

Oh i didn't know that

[modest junco]

if I gave you a regular and an oled, you wouldnt' be able to tell blindfolded

[eager walrus]

I mean, you can buy OLED with both red joycons, both gray joycons or both white joycons

Weren't there red joycons on it?

[modest junco]

that's the mario special edition I believe

[compact shale]

I dont think so, I want the white one

[modest junco]

can't say for sure

[modest junco]

Those only come with the switch Oled

[eager walrus]

It's still available to buy, at least in my country

[modest junco]

I wish they sold white joycons separately

white just looks so clean 🥰

[eager walrus]

Animal Crossing, Splatoon 3 and Zelda OLED aren't on sale anymore (in here at least)

[compact shale]

I want one so bad idk what i was thinking i had my Nintendo switch lite for 3 years

[modest junco]

hm...

let's be real for a second

[eager walrus]

I might be the 1000th person saying this but you could wait for Switch 2 too

[modest junco]

do you really NEED an upgrade?

[eager walrus]

You don't need to tho

[modest junco]

we are very late into the product cycle

next gen will be out by early 2025?

[eager walrus]

Ye

[compact shale]

Ima get the Oled for Christmas or now

[eager walrus]

Not to mention your Switch games should be compatible with Switch 2

[modest junco]

I'd feel pretty bad having you buy 7-8 year old hardware at msrp

only for it to become last-gen in a few months

[compact shale]

Yeah am kinda regret buying that and am over those age group

[eager walrus]

I for example got my first Switch 1,5 month ago. Basically I plan using it for 3 years and wait until OLED (if it ever will drop) Switch 2

[modest junco]

Just my personal take though, it's up to you what you do with your money. I respect it

[compact shale]

my Nintendo switch lite is a little bit cracked

[eager walrus]

The screen?

Or whole console?

[modest junco]

Ye, only reason I got the OLED was because at msrp, it's a no brainer for someone who doesn't own any other switch console

[compact shale]

Yeah the screen

[modest junco]

Is it a big crack?

[compact shale]

no just 2 cracks

[modest junco]

I've lived before with smaller cracks on the side of the screen

[compact shale]

It randomly got like that

[modest junco]

Not on my switch ofc, but some of my older phones

I don't think the switch screen can crack>

?

it's plastic

[eager walrus]

You haven't seen my younger sister's tablet screen 💀 those ain't small cracks, those are enormous cracks

[modest junco]

unless you placed a tempered glass screen protector, and that's what shattered

[compact shale]

Like the whole screen

😳

[eager walrus]

The normal Switch and OLED's don't have the same glass as phones?

[modest junco]

Oh I get you 100%

[eager walrus]

I have touchscreen notebook and I have scratches on it too

[modest junco]

no, I don't think they do

switch and switch oled both use a plastic outer screen

plastic is a good choice for a console targetted to children

[eager walrus]

First up, the plastic screens used in the Nintendo Switch and Switch Lite are just plain easy to scratch. They aren't made of Gorilla Glass like your phone, and they just don't stand up to much abuse. There have been plenty of reports of the Switch dock itself scratching users' screens, which isn't exactly ideal.

[modest junco]

it doesn't shatter, but is far more prone to scratching compared to glass

[compact shale]

I maybe should of gotton an screen protecter but its to late

gotten

[modest junco]

ye. that's why you buy a tempered glass screen protector 😎

super cheap too

I got a dozen for 4 bucks

Ended up giving one to all my friends

Still have 7 in storage 💀

[eager walrus]

Bad news: I wanted to get glass screen protector but no shop sales it in my area

[compact shale]

i would get 10

[modest junco]

no online stores like amazon or something?

I purchased mine online

[eager walrus]

We don't have Amazon, the nearest one is in Germany and shipping costs up to 10 euros

[modest junco]

you don't need to tbh, 2 is the sweet spot

[eager walrus]

Which could be 50% of the glass's price

[modest junco]

2 or 3

first one you apply, second one in case you screw up, third one as backup if you end up breaking the one you installed

[compact shale]

It would be cool if it would be repaired with another glass

[modest junco]

it costs 20 euros for the screen protector 💀

[eager walrus]

Duh

[modest junco]

holy, that is expensive

[eager walrus]

It ain't cheap

[modest junco]

That's weird, cause mine was hella cheap

I'm in canada though

[eager walrus]

Tbh I only play on handheld so I don't have the risk of getting mine scratched by dock

Not to mention my dad told me "I don't need a screen protector, the console is meant to be used." 🤷‍♀️

I avoid touch screen games too

[modest junco]

I still highly recommend a screen protector though. An accidental drop and you might be done for

it's a cheap solution to an expensive problem

Kind of like car insurance ig? paying seems pointless until you actually have something wrong happen to you

[eager walrus]

Tbh I don't understand why the touchscreen is an option in the first place.

[modest junco]

I love the touchscreen though

even the DS had touchscreens

I don't see why the switch shouldn't

[eager walrus]

But like I mentioned, I can't get a glass protection screen in my area without it costing me MUCH. The only option is the Nintendo official foil thingie but it isn't recommended too 😭

The foil won't protect shit

[eager walrus]

Like ye but 90% of the games don't use touchscreen

On DS the whole point was to use the pen and touchscreen

[modest junco]

still a nice to have

I don't mind my laptop not having a touchscreen

but I sure as hell wouldn't hate if it did

[eager walrus]

Tbh I got the Premium Hori foil protector. I ordered it without looking through the internet 😪 the premium is know for overheating Switch AND pealing off easily so now it's stuck inside my closet

[modest junco]

overheating?

[eager walrus]

I couldn't send it back to the shop as it was ordered under my mom and she was always tired to write her credit card info on a paper to sent the Premium Hori foil with

[eager walrus]

Ye

Every single Reddit has a mention of the foil causing overheating

The premium one

Apparently the normal Hori one is a lot better

[eager walrus]

So that was 20 euros down for nothing

[modest junco]

😭

Maybe you should go on aliexpress

I didn't want to wait so I used amazon

but for cheaper products like this, it really doesn't matter

[eager walrus]

Idk if you know but if I order something out of EU, the ppl who work in borders will force open my package to make sure I ain't getting something illegal and even DARE to price me for their "job"

The thing is I can't find anywhere on the internet how much I could get it priced

[modest junco]

I doubt they'll open a box with two sheets of glass 💀

also, aliexpress doesn't charge for customs

[eager walrus]

They will, seriously

My classmate from primary school ordered manga and the same happened

Manga is out of paper, cheaper and can't do harm

[modest junco]

I placed about a dozen orders, some with tech worth $250+ never got opened

[eager walrus]

Yet they force opened it and made her pay for their check

[modest junco]

maybe it's an EU thing 😭

[eager walrus]

The thing is it IS EU thing

Only we EU have it

😔

Which is why I'm avoiding ordering out of EU. I won a giveaway from a game and they mentioned some countries price customs for it. I already sent them my address so I'm playing with the fire, risking having to pay customs

And the fact the giveaway is FREE is even making it harder for me to calculate how much I could approximately pay for the thing

[eager walrus]

The HQ is in Japan, I seriously am playing with fire

[modest junco]

lucky you congrats 🎉

[modest junco]

I don't have any experience ordering from jp...

[eager walrus]

Praying I ain't the 2% they mentioned 😪

[modest junco]

only CN and EU

[modest junco]

2%?

that's not a lot tbh

I pay 15% import tax

wouldn't that be 2-3 euros max

I don't think a game is THAT expensive

[eager walrus]

The game mentioned 98% of ppl who won their giveaways in the past didn't pay customs

So I might BE the 2% in the future

[modest junco]

oh shit

I read it wroong

😭

I am dented lol

[eager walrus]

The game is global, meaning if most ppl are from America, Canada, China, South Korea or Japan they don't need to pay

[modest junco]

2% is a pretty low rate

I don't think you need to fret

[eager walrus]

😔

[eager walrus]

Thanks, I will seriously cry if the costoms price me for a free thing

[modest junco]

i mean even if you pay, it shouldn't be more than the game itself

think of it as... um... buying it at a discount?!? 💀

[eager walrus]

I won merch basically

[eager walrus]

🔥❤️ i love buying papers on discount

Including a keychain ofc

[eager walrus]

This will be really boring and not worth of a giveaway but I got a postcard of my fav character, stickers, some shit for taking aesthetic pics, an envelope and keychain

With a letter from my favorite characzer ofc

[eager walrus]

Going to frame that shit

[tawny delta]

Nintendo charges taxes on anything you order with Platinum Points to a US address. It just shows up magically. That isn't nearly as bad as what other people deal with.

[eager walrus]

Ye, I still don't understand how they are just USED to it. I heard there exist people who calculate on how much you need to pay for your living cuz taxes aren't included

If you pay too low, you are in trouble. If you pay too much, the government will take it as a donation

😭

[tawny delta]

That's why US citizen file their taxes ever year. The government keeps everything you unless you can prove otherwise, and lots of times you own the government extra.

At least, they don't "claw back" money. If the government overpays you for say a disability, they used to be able to take the money back even though the government decided you needed it at the time. bleh

[eager walrus]

My country is greedy too except we have taxes immediately in prices. My cousin's flat got flooded (her neighbor above her had the flood) and my country wants to pay her 4000 euros for the damage 😀 like girlie needs to paint the roof (as water was coming from there and needs to hide it) AND buy new floor

4000 euros ain't enough, she could pay prob with 1500 euros the paint job and floor is expensive

[tawny delta]

We have to pay sales tax of most things in the USA. Some places don't tax food.

[eager walrus]

Not to mention her furniture got damaged too. If you have wooden closet, yikes

I can see the mold creating

[tawny delta]

it's crazy that your cousin was supposed to pay for the dammage. that makes no sense.

most housing in the US is owned by private individuals, so the laws are quite different when it comes to landlords and tennants.

[eager walrus]

In my country we call DPH as taxes

[eager walrus]

🤷‍♀️

[eager walrus]

In here housing is owned by the city technically. Every 2-3 flats have 1 landlord and our city pays the landlord monthly to take care of the flats

It's the landlord's choice if they just spend the money on improving the flat or use it on themselves

[eager walrus]

We use flats because of Soviet Union in the past. Soviet Union wanted to house every citizen so they built flats

Flats have 4-10 floors

[tawny delta]

that's interesting. people get money from the government to help pay for their rent. Or, they live in state run housing projects which are pretty bad.

yeah, I've seen Soviet/communist flats

they're pretty basic usually

the party bosses got some awesome housing

[eager walrus]

Tbh it ain't bad, the only disadvantages are thin walls. Most of the time during the weekend someone decides to build something in the morning and we hear it 😭

[eager walrus]

Yes, only colors kind of divide them

Pink and red, yellow and orange are the most popular colors for flat

But mine has light dirty red and brown

Something like this

My mom called it "poop" brown

😭😭

[tawny delta]

we could use the affordable housing in the US. there are plenty of places to live but most of them are super luxury

[eager walrus]

I have heard the prices are getting higher for buying a house

Here in Slovakia they are surprisingly getting lower since Covid

[eager walrus]

And it continues

[tawny delta]

at least, the colors aren't garish. The brown is almost a wood tone.

[eager walrus]

The brown is more lighter on sun but ye

It's meant to give off modern vibe

White and gray is too avarage and gets easily dirty

[tawny delta]

I've seen some crazy patterns use for sink and counters

white is a pain to clean

[eager walrus]

My mom watches a TV show where ppl compete and renovate beach houses. Couples compete against other couples and one lesbian couple went for all pink. Don't get me wrong, I support lesbian Couples but all pink? Even the bathroom was pink

And most importantly, also the toilet

Like alr pink ain't bad but it's better to combine colors

[tawny delta]

I like pink, but the WHOLE house??

exactly... use some dark red or purple or something

[eager walrus]

I love how there are also gay couples and lesbian couples included with straight couples :)

It's just sweet

It also gives you a look on how other couples see their best beach houses

You don"/ need to support gays and lesbians, but it's nice to see how other ppl think yk

[tawny delta]

that looks good.

[eager walrus]

I sent wrong pic

Sorry 😭

[tawny delta]

no worries

[eager walrus]

But this is definitely it

[tawny delta]

I love Last Week Tonight, but I know that is political

do you have netflix? there's a neat show called Love on the Spectrum.

[eager walrus]

Idk if you know about Discovery Channel but it's British TV channel. They have interesting TV shows (they fix old cars and sell them for collectors, there is a series on "How it's done" which shows how computers are created in factories etc.)

[eager walrus]

Omg I know the show!!

[tawny delta]

They call it How It's Made in the US, but I love Discovery Channel.

[tawny delta]

have you seen the US and Aussie versions?

[eager walrus]

I watched 2 episodes of it :) it was nice. I'm glad it isn't staged as most TV shows are

At least it shouldn't be from what I read
