Hey, I'm Halvorsen. If you know me in person, you know me as North. I operate this site as well as the others listed [[Domains\|here]].

	~~North is a~~ [[Repairing\|~~mobile device technician~~]] ~~who began modifying Nintendo handhelds around 2015~~, ~~including devices such as the~~ [[Nintendo ~~3DS~~]] and [[~~Nintendo Switch~~]]. ~~The [[homebrew]] community sprung a significant interest in architectural~~ research~~, maintenance,~~ and ~~customisation. This interest naturally lead~~ to ~~new skills, such as data forensics and reverse engineering for hardware and software~~.		I often work on various [[Repairing\|repair]] projects, various [[Nintendo Switch (Homebrew)\|software]], manage [https://switch.hacks.guide/about community projects], and listen to [[music]] daily. I try to devote much of my time to original research and applying that information forward to unique personal projects.

	~~When it comes to electronics, [https://news.samsung.com/us/top-techs-put-skills-test-samsung-national-skills-repair-competition-2023/ I hope you can trust me to know what I'm talking about].~~		I appreciate the security of knowing exactly how the world around me works so there I don't run into unfortunate surprises.

	~~== Introduction ==~~
	If it involves some form of enthusiast technology development, you can count on me to be caught up on it. To this end, I like to be inside of things and understand their history and capabilities, so that I can eventually take advantage of or produce them for myself. This isn't just limited to [[Repairing\|repairs]], but also software and firmware architectural design as well, music creation, computer-aided design, and more. I appreciate the security of knowing exactly how the world around me works so there I don't run into unfortunate surprises.

	~~I also enjoy gaming! You can always feel free to hit me up for a session of [[Super Smash Bros. (series)\|Super Smash Bros.]] matches or compare experiences in story-based games like [[OMORI]].~~

	I am a [[Inventory\|hardware collector]] and data hoarder as well.		I am a [[Inventory\|hardware collector]] and data hoarder as well.

	Above all, my goal with this site is to have documentation about my experiences, actions, and projects ~~- documentation~~ that hopefully outlives me and doesn't ~~become~~ lost ~~to history~~. I hope that isn't too much to hope for.		Above all, my goal with this site is to have documentation about my experiences, actions, and projects. Information that hopefully outlives me and doesn't decompose with me after I die. As a former amnesiac, one of the main reasons for this site's existence is so that I can attempt to recover and store the memories I lost. I hope that isn't too much to hope for.

	~~== Conflict Resolution ==~~
	Have you ever felt like you needed to carefully navigate how you interact with me in order to avoid backlash? That's intentional! The best thing to do is to avoid unnecessary interactions as there will never be a scenario where I would willingly want to talk to someone else. If you do want to talk to me, remember to think about what you say before you say it. Microaggressions and negative assumptions towards me will be remembered and met with equal flippancy.

	~~Elsewise, I actively take care not to show disrespect towards you as long as I was not given disrespect to begin with.~~

	If I ever get in a conflict with you, the number one thing to keep in mind would be to highlight factual flaws in my approach, and to keep opinions and assumptions out. There's no issue for me to admit that I'm incorrect, if I can be shown that I was incorrect.

	The following may seem like a rulebook or "manual", but it's really just basic steps for being a decent human being. If you know how to decent without needing to be prompted, we will get along. If you can't, then I don't have an issue reminding you to correct yourself before engaging in any further interactions. I don't believe in "special treatment" and will treat everyone with the same amount of praise or criticism that they deserve. If you act like a child, you'll be treated like one. If I have to treat you like a child despite your age dwarfing mine, or if you happen to be in some sort of "authoritative" position... do better? It is on you to be a decent person. I promise that I will take your lead. They say to treat people like how you'd want to be treated, so please try to reflect my demeanor in the same way. I will be direct in most situations, and I would appreciate your directness and truthfulness above all other qualities, namely in terms of "niceties" which I see as wasted energy. Actions speak louder than gestures.

	If you show respect, there is no reason for me to be disrespectful to you. That is to say, I won't pretend to extend any angelic grace towards you just because you're in a "bad mood", which isn't an excuse to be a jerk.

	With that said, I generally don't partake in niceties, but this isn't inherently disrespectful. For example, "It isn't, I'm sorry." is probably going to be truncated to "No, it isn't.". It answers the conditional question succinctly, and is rather frank communication, which helps cut out potential for misinterpretation.

	I do not respond to emotional pleas as a form of persuasion. If you want me to take an action that I have already explicitly declined, you'll need to present a form of logical justification for it rather than beg or "guilt trip". If you actively demand me to go out of my way to help you when you've never given me the time of day or have ignored times where I've asked for similar help, search on Google for the nearest circus -- there are plenty of clowns who will take you in as one of their own.
