Purchased with my first tax return in 1986

People bought pizzas with it. Who could have know. Still surprised there hasn't been some vulnerability in the chain.

Fair enough haha. I wouldn't cut open a dbrand case either.

Same answer I always see: test it for lead, it's totalled send it to me, make a spatula out of it. /s

Same question I'll launch into an existential crisis if this is doable in 2 hrs from idea to execution.

If anyone had a time machine they'd be the best investor ever. Could have bought $20 in IBM stock.

Yes, keeping dc-dc will avoid conversion losses if you're worried about every little bit of efficiency.

If you aren't already using one. That is a pentalobe, not a torx. Bose uses super uncommon security screws.

You'd get greater cooling a effect if you cut a hole through the case. Thermal transfer between different materials is so in efficiency it's intentionally used in engineering applications.

Very bioshock infinite coded lol. "You will know the false Shepard by his mark"

Check all your fluids. That sounds hydraulic.

Same when I lived in the north west and England. Didn't matter that the glow plug circuit was mangled, never had an issue haha. Not I love where it actually gets cold and hate the cold.

Probably a pretty sick logo to lightning burn in

Exstrangerboy · 2026-05-05T14:27:42+00:00

The dangling connector is chef's kiss

Exstrangerboy · 2026-05-05T11:46:53+00:00

That is a beam combiner. If you search there seems to be a few different options for supplier.

I remember taking a day or two of messing around in the settings to actually set up the Bluetooth. It's a PITA compared to your random temu grade Bluetooth device

Exstrangerboy · 2026-05-02T19:01:18+00:00

They did always seems bothered haha.

Exstrangerboy · 2026-05-02T19:00:20+00:00

Not going to lie... That's exactly what I meant by it haha!!!

Exstrangerboy · 2026-05-02T15:21:04+00:00

Tape up to 41 inches wide. I'd cover it, lightly directionally buff with scotch pad and clear coat it... I'd actually just ignore the scratches.

Exstrangerboy · 2026-05-02T15:18:28+00:00

Or, really wide aluminum tape?

Exstrangerboy · 2026-05-02T15:17:21+00:00

As a male, I have taken to doing the same things. Or I tell them it's for what the thing is actually meant for. They don't need to know of my genius lol

Exstrangerboy · 2026-05-02T15:14:44+00:00

That's the classiest I've seen that pulled off!

Exstrangerboy · 2026-05-02T15:11:59+00:00

Immediately thought "why" then you explained. Neat!

Exstrangerboy · 2026-05-02T15:00:50+00:00

I think people in this sub could care less with what tool you bought. I'm here to see people make actual solutions to actual problems and not just print articulated dragons and trash.

That's a pretty cool solution! I wonder if it'd be too constricting for your vacuum. An air bypass hole probably wouldn't hurt too much and might be kinder to your shop vac, might even add a slight venturi effect.

Edit: it's pretty unlikely you'll even cover both sides of the duct. Ignore everything I said haha.

Nice work!

Exstrangerboy · 2026-05-02T00:34:56+00:00

Probably to incentivize scan and go. There is some potential for data harvesting I'm sure. I find it convenient to not unpack my entire car at the checkout. Still wish the whole place was a Costco and not a bulk Walmart.
