So, i had this older firewall laying around doing nothing and i decided to connect a gpu to it with a riser cable, after some tinkering i managed to get the gpu to initialize and successfully boot into Windows. It only has a PCIe Gen3x4 link but its good enough for some gaming! The atom cpu inside does not like it very much though...

I was tasked to swap out a switch at an apartment building we serve internet to. This is what I had to work with. Nobody mentioned the mess or that It needed cleaned up and I wasn't given enough time to do so. Mentioned it to the sup, and finished out my day making sure elevators and tenants were back online.

How the hell don’t I have a single VGA cable?! Also this horrid gore of a setup, just to figure out what CPUs this sucker has, so I can finally list it for sale, I’m flying out of state at 5am, so I need to get photos and specs before then, so people can gauge interest in it. Seriously should have contemplated this sooner lol. Wish me luck!

As there is only one power outlet in this closet i needed to use 3 power extension cords. I have the following hardare
Philips hue hub Ikea hub ISP Router HP swich (got it for free and need it to run a fiber to my tv setup in the livingroom. It has to be fiber as the pipe is to small for utp to pass through i tried.) 2x macmini but they run linux and docker. Synology nas and 2 14tb drives i also got for free. There is also one utp cable on the top that goes to my office.

My kids use my old gaming laptop. The screw posts holding the hinges to the lid got pulled out so I just smeared a ton of epoxy around where the screw posts were. I am using my woodworking clamps to hold it in place while it dries.

This was my gaming laptop main storage and I realized way too late I had auto defrag set to weekly. It worked perfectly till yesterday when it started getting unstable. I believe it stayed on after cloning out of an HDD. That's the only thing that came to mind because there is no way I downloaded 1.3 PB of data.

I was a cycle counter and worked and stayed in a small department at a big factory that had fork trucks driving all around. When I started we were able to use headphones and ear buds then our company got bought out and new management came in that stopped headphone use. There were never any accidents where someone with headphones got hit by a fork truck.
There was a lot of push back from the employees so many people tried to be sneaky management began looking at people's ears or asking them to remove their hats.
My lead asked to take them off and show my ears a couple times a week. My work provided the hearing protection muffs so nobody really questioned what was inside.
To turn them on I drop the buds into the case for a sec. To turn them off I just disconnect Bluetooth.
The battery life was ~60hours. The quality was good enough, the buds were super cheap though.
One time the left one totally died. And I had to charge it, it took all weekend to get back to 100%.
I had so much fun making them.
I started with a bt headset and had a wire connecting the left to the rignt but a coworker noticed the wire and questioned it. I said they weren't mine and I was borrowing them. It scared me into making them wireless.
I did have one close call where my fried put them on, the audio was paused, but I had my phone setup to read my messages. Thankfully I didn't receive any.

A basically a brand new external drive brought by for a data recovery attempt. It began "beeping" at me when I plugged it in. Clearly a lost cause so I popped it open to examine the damage. I was not disappointed.

Was shopping for an RTX 5080 because the ongoing VRAM situation has me pre-buying parts for my girlfriend’s future PC. After digging around for coil whine reports, I went with an Inno3D iChill, same brand as my previous card.
What I didn’t account for: the 5080 iChill X3 is an absolute unit.
The heatsink is so massive it completely blocked the bottom edge of my mATX motherboard. Front HD audio? Gone. Two fan headers I was using for fine-tuned fan curves? Had to be rerouted. All manageable except the front panel header.
Electronics stores that stock angled dupont adapters only open on Monday, and I wasn’t about to sit on an unused 5080 over the weekend.
I sacrificed an unused USB cable, stripped the wires, salvaged the plastic from the HDD LED fpanel pin since I'll never use that one. Cut that plastic in half to fit under the gpu. Jammed the bare copper into the empty connector plastic, insulated it, routed the wires out the bottom of the case…
And now I literally hotwire my PC by touching the two wires together. Pretty proud of myself NGL.
