I've never reshelled my GBA but having installed multiple aftermarket shells on my PSP, I can tell you that d-pad issues are very common because of bad measurements and quality. So maybe the problem is the new shell itself.
I disagree, living in such a country. Our self-declared "left wing" was eager to participate in both Iraq and Afghanistan and host CIA black sites on our soil.
There is no democracy in global capitalism. There can only be different shades of authoritarianism.
Ok, but that's not the point I was making. I meant that vast technological superiority does not mean military superiority.
Guerrillas and militias have been very effective at combatting powerful empires throughout history because they have the backing of the populace and can hide and resupply with ease, unlike invading forces.
This will not change because of a single technological advancement, especially since insurgents can also use this technology themselves.
Robotics are not that great at fighting against insurgencies. Just like most technology, it usually isn't enough to destroy movements that are popular among the wider population. Look at the Afghanistan war for example.
Historically, anarchists have been very good at organizing effective and well motivated armies. Usually with democratically elected officers. Look up the Black Army of Makhno, CNT-FAI, EZLN and YPG, these are all good examples of anarchist (or anarchist-adjacent) armies.
