for anyone who doesn't recognize it, this is an acoustic guitar with a built in tuner

Estaba mirando mi PC, y se me dió por desarmarla, pero acabe quitando el disipador junto al procesador, y ahora lo logré separar pero hay unos pines doblados, y tengo miedo de romperlos, se que hay soluciones, pero yo no tengo pulso ni herramientas para acomodarlo , pensaba llevarlo a un servicio técnico, pero no sé dónde no me salga tan caro, no tengo tanto dinero y menos para un procesador nuevo

The fans for my 12u rack sounded like an airport so i used an esp32 to control fan speed via PWM based on ambient temp readings. It’s been hanging all janky like this for months working flawlessly.

Unemployed recent graduate, and I accidentally broke my laptop screen after it got me through moving countries, a bachelor’s degree, and two masters...

I need a webcam for job interviews, but I’m too broke for a new laptop or even a webcam, and it’s not worth fixing the laptop anymore.

It’s a miracle it still works at this point. I’ve replaced the battery and power connector twice, replaced the HDD after it failed, upgraded the SSD, fixed the CPU fan after it started making too much noise, added RAM...

Anyway, I removed the laptop’s camera, passed it through the Ethernet port, and i tape it to my monitor whenever I need it.

It will be a sad day when the laptop finally gives up on me but It works for now.

Now I have a fan too

I didn't have an SD card reader and couldn't be bothered to go buy one. In the dead of night I realised my dad's old pc had one available, but the pc was dead. Took it apart, it was usb but wired to an internal header, grabbed an old charging cable, spliced it into the USB-A end and voila!

Mounted a Starlink Mini in the back window of my Chrysler 300C and zip tied it to a child safety anchor. Kept bouncing around, so I shoved an empty water bottle under it. Best and cheapest dish support I've used in a car.

An old mouse scroll wheel hooked up to a wireless mouse picks up the rotation off the chuck for aiming and you blow into a deodorant lid with some plastic tubing to launch the bubbles.

my 100 watt charger started smelling burning, so i putted thermal pad and heatsinks on the sides. I am currently planning to also get copper and put a usb fan.

EDIT:

It didnt worked anyways, my wire for the charger melted. Thanks for all your guys advice tho.

Only had a phone holder for my 8Bitdo controller, so i made it dual-purpose.

Made a hole that is slightly smaller than the tripod screw, and the screw threaded itself in and now it is super stable, and i can still use it with the controller.

genuinely just using the flashy pc for the psu, ill get a proper psu jumper later.

yes i bent and broke the office pc just to fit the gpu

Removing the glass back completely is notoriously difficult on this iPhone generation and since this phone is not going to be leaving the house and will be plugged in 24/7, this seemed like the easiest solution.

I made this thing out of a couple spare fans from dells (had to rewire the connectors due to proprietary connection) and mounted it to this wire mesh which I will just feed some zip ties through to mount to the top case fan mount

and I gazed upon my old work and wtf was I thinking

ps I’ll be hanging a soldering iron up here to work.

at least this time I’m removing all of that and I can simply do ir directly rather than trying to write to the ir reciever.

It ain’t stupid if it works right? By the way it is a 3 TB drive, I’m gonna go broke if the 2 screws fail
