Very nice repair. That aluminum bent really well around that pipe. It makes me wonder if you could have made a replacement leg outright of the aluminum vs salvaging the plastics.

huh, I thought that was a nose picker. :D 🍺

Evidently I am perpetually 12 years old. 😄 Carry on

Here ya go @phunguss

It doesn’t have to be pretty, it just has to work :)

I found this on ifixit.com about adjusting the leg spring.

A very young SJ. He looks like Mace Windu in a suit :) very well done!

Very true! If you dont have them, you can create custom inserts with a stiff high density foam, some scissors and hot glue. *added photo These are the boxes from the monitors in my office. They, instead of styrofoam, have molded cardboard & HD foam inserts. When shipped, the stand is off and...

Ive received a number of them over the years. All of them shipped in tight/form fitting sections of dense foam in such a way that they did not move. Also, the panel wasnt directly up on the box. The boxes used while not huge, were always big enough to provide open space around the lcd. The foam...

I don't recall those but I must have seen those at one point. Love the transparent colors :)

Ohh tres' fancy. That Vaio is neat! :) Screams early 2000s aesthetic.

This correlates with what I have heard - specifically the startech adapters with red pcbs like THIS one. I have had green ones work before but they are really hit or miss. The majority of them dont work in my macs.

Do you have a spare daughter card to verify the warp is what is causing your problem?

Ahh this just reminded me that AT&T just owned up to a breach that impacted 70+ million current & past customers private data.

Just call up Microsoft. Surely they would send you an unlimited windows 11 license for the inconvenience. . . April Fools :D Could he restore to a back up before the update where his stuff is intact? Or perhaps rollback the update (although I'm unsure if that would return the win apps or...

Yanno, I lie. I did find a little AT case and (if rough memory serves me) C2Duo or maybe it was an AMD Phenom Compaq at the dumpster of my condo before I moved so this was probably around 2016. I cleaned it up, repasted the guts, slapped a decent silent no-fan GPU in there along with pci...

I recall that actual TNG episode. IIRC Dr.Crusher is getting the business end of that disruptor in this scene.

This recycler mentality never made sense to me although the recyclers I know around here are nice people and would find a solution vs being a jerkus about it. I wonder if something like Free Geek could exist in the UK diverting good, useable hardware back into the community. That as a...

That sounds like StarCraft Terran farming zerg armies and unleashing them on their enemies.

I get alot of wood this way as well. Saved from projects and stuff that sometimes just gets left out for pickup. Im no wood worker per se but I have a nice stash of quality wood in my garage overhead from this. If you were to go buy quality high grade wood these days, man its SO expensive.
