Non Flashlight orders/received

Just ordered this APC UPS to replace my old one:

You get $15 off this price automatically at checkout if you pay with PayPal, so it’s $135 + tax, free shipping.

Comes with a bonus surge protector as well.

Some cheap Nakiri knife I picked up from Amazon…

we agree with Pete7874.

those radiators are really nice.
give them a running start and
they will “run you out” of the room.

We’ve had a running joke for years that we needed The Clapper to control the lights in the master bedroom. So when I saw a Slickdeal for 4 C by GE Direct Connect bulbs and a Lenovo smart clock for less than the bulbs usually cost, I had to get it for my wife’s birthday.

So I set it all up this week. I don’t like the voice control, but dimming 90 CRI 2700K bulbs from my phone is fun.

home delivery.
we lead a boring life.

I received these laptop fans a few days ago.

I plan to install them in about an hour.

I am somewhat nervous as I know that taking apart a laptop is risky because laptops are not very robust like desktops are.

Here are the instructions on how to take my laptop apart.

I hope everything goes well!

UPDATE:

That didn't work.

I don't have the proper screwdriver bit to take apart my laptop.

I just ordered this, which I think will allow me to perform the operation.

RC have you considered the Xiaomi Screwdriver kit? I have one, highly recommended :+1:

Edit: Or this set I just found, even cheaper and more bits, I am impressed to see S2 steel bits at this price.

I already have this, which has 100 different bits:

A very nice set you have got there.

Last time I said that I got slapped.

had a little left on an LL Bean gift card.

like i said above…
boring.

Very nice pair

Was it worth it? :smiley:

My new 12GB/256GB Oneplus 8 Pro was just delivered.

Time to prep for migration from the Oneplus 6 and decide which rom to use.
Another of the same though mint condition used with original accessories and extras including the wireless charger and earbuds from swappa for mom is also scheduled for delivery today.

My new UPS has finally arrived. Currently charging…

I received two of these brass whistles today.

My old whistle quit working, and this new whistle is smaller and much louder than my old whistle.

I never learned how to whistle, so that's why I thought it would be important to have a whistle on my keychain.

Received a Maxpedition baseball cap for about $7 including shipping (local shop).
I believe it’s a new old stock but still worth the pennies!

I tried to fix my laptop, and I killed it!

In step 8 (see above link), I tore one of the ribbon cables that connects the motherboard to the keyboard.

I put my laptop back together, but now my laptop will not turn on.

I contacted a local computer repair company, hoping they can fix my laptop.

If they cannot, I might be in the market for a new PC.
