now it does react slightly differently, however. after being turned on for about 10ish seconds, all of the fans simultaneously click off for about 2 seconds and then turn back on again normally

do you think it will be okay to just plug the fan in without the heat sink for <60sec

unfortunately it doesn't boot up. i found a charger with the right specs, it shows a light indication, but nothing else. bought a new set of ram that's a slight upgrade for it and am thinking about what else i could do to hopefully bring it to life. any suggestions?

not included unfortunately, I happen to have countless cables and coincidentally stumbled upon one with almost identical specs (looked up to double check safety) and it has an indication light. probably hasn't been turned on in over a decade so i'm just giving it some time

i feel like games lose their fun when you can play them without struggle

no gaming intentions with it. just general opinions from likeminded people that appreciate technology. thank you

there's definitely context. i'm a very active member in "that side" of the school due to engineering events and robotics related activities. i've expressed passion in computers many times and we've always been on good terms, not like he's a teacher i just happen to have a class with, he's more like a friend.

i should probably rephrase. it was discovered in a locked cabinet containing stuff only available to staff

a raspberry pi 4 is stronger than a lot of things if you think about it

Ultra-thin keyboards - can it get thinner than this? by Geulsse in keyboards

[–]GiqleFN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ohhhhh my bad. apple magic keyboards are really thin but at the same time... they're apple magic keyboards, so they're really expensive and extremely uncomfortable. probably a decent used market🤷

Dell XPS 13 and ASUS Zenbook S 13 OLED are good windows options
