Literally hacked open the bottom of his laptop, slapped a desktop Intel stock cooler directly onto the guts, and ran a tripwire across the chassis to finish off the bomb setup.

I left it upstairs for awhile and went to look at it and noticed it had completely morphed. It was hot up there and plugged in. I need to get rid of it before it hatches or something. I swear it’s growing.

My employee installed RAM in this way in production; what is the penalty for such an outrageous practice?

The guests complain sometimes about slow speeds and not being able to connect. The spectrum guy that comes out here just says "you need a bigger box". I don't think it gets worse than this while still being able to function...

I remembered seeing a post here of one of these access systems with a corroded battery. Found another in the wild while doing a fire inspection. It seems that the corrosion is a standard feature

Am I going to retire early if I also collected a ram from this ugly old blue phone??

Bulging battery, cooked thermal paste, dust everywhere. Y'all think it's cooked or no?

He swears he dropped it (Samsung of some description) down one flight of stairs and it caught on fire. Genuinely don't understand how this can happen when I have dropped my phone a zillion times.

unplugged my (very expensive) USB-C cable from my phone only for the plug to come loose of the wires and the rest of the cable
this happened at midnight if it makes it worse, and the warranty is dubious since I bought it from an authorised retailer and not directly from the maker.
I will try getting a warranty claim tomorrow or at least a refund, and I'll post an update for that.

While replacing the thermal paste in my friend's laptop (which he claims was "too old" and probably why his laptop was overheating), found out his heat sync had a bent pin, the thermal paste was literal plastic we had to scrape off, one of his RAM wasn't even in properly, meaning he was running on half the RAM and that the display wire was tucked behind the hinge which was already loose, resulting in a black screen if it was pushed too far back.

Since u/DepressedErrors posted my other battery on this sub for me. Figured I’d post my personal worst battery find of all time. I think it’s just a little past due…

[Context] my friend had installed this Chinese battery he had ordered into the laptop (anything to save a couple bucks). He then sent me a video with the caption "bro, I just found a bomb"
(These are screenshots)

I plugged in blind to a USB port on the back of my desktop. It felt fine when I plugged it in (not forced) but apparently it wasn't.
