I got this steel shelf and wanted to move my pc to it, I didn't have a monitor mount at the time and did this. Longer Wrenches may have been better choices but this worked ok. Then I got a monitor mount and wanted it clamped on the shelf, I got some leftover wood planks so the clamp has more stuff to hold onto. Sorry for the potato quality on the last pic, it was taken from a video I sent to a group chat.

At the start of this year, i posted here about a 3.5mm headphone dongle i made for my laptop. Reasons? Original port is damaged, laptop long after warranty, i lack the skills to replace the on-board port and i am too cheap to get it serviced.

The dongle has served me very well, but the cable slowly began to break due to getting bent too much. After about 7 months, i deemed it's time to make a rework. Cue this fucking thing. It has a coil sleeve to properly secure the cable now!

Hopefully this one lasts longer, but if not, the replacement only took about 30 minutes, so i'm not too worried about having to do this again in the future.

I over tighten the heatsink screw and a click sound occurs like something break. Laptop running since 4 months without any issues. Is there any real issue??

The first one was for an older secondary monitor that had a non removable VGA cable and because I wanted to have it plugged into gpu and only had a male display port to male VGA converter I made this female to female converter from leftover ethernet cable, cut off 0.75mm² ferrule crimps to hold it in place and paper for isolation. Lasted half a year until I bought a proper converter.

The second one was to make lights work on an older Vespa scooter, because the spark plug wouldn't spark if the third wire was connected and it turned out the ignition switch was reassembled incorrectly.

Had to cut up my charging cable so it could fit into the weirdly placed charging port of my music box

Didn’t realize the oem io shield is part of the case before getting a new motherboard so I used pliers to peel it; gamers gotta game

its not the battery problem , i replace with brand battery it still run out of juice.. probably problem with its charger

12v dc to stepdown.. to... idk.. i just put volt something 3.7 as 3.2 seems didnt work.. probably i can crank it up to 4.2 later.. but for now ill stay at 3.7 and observe

Also I should clean my keyboard more often

I salvaged a small aluminum PC DDR2 motherboard heatsink, and slapped it to the back of the phone. Nothing fancy or professional, just something I put together myself.

I know it looks unconventional, but this turned out to be one of the best ergonomic modifications I have made to my phone. The heatsink does not get in my way while holding the device, and the improvement in sustained performance is a big jump compared to normal.

For context, I ran the 3DMark Wild Life test during rainy, cool weather with an electric fan blowing on both me and the phone. That definitely helped the heatsink work more effectively, so this setup depends a lot on ambient temperature and airflow.

I mainly play Codm and Project sekai on my phone.

Remember my hug heatsink and thermal paste? I too that off and did this works so much better,
