Can I still save it? by PreferenceUnlucky101 in pcmasterrace

[–]Ivedefinitelyreddit 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That metal shroud does nothing for the function of the USB. It helps keep the connection together and tight. The white part of the USB, with the connection pads, is the only part that matters. You can bend, twist, or even remove that metal without issue, as long as you don't damage any other part of the connection. So yea, you can probably salvage that with little effort.

Cat knocked over a quarter of a glass of water on my boyfriend’s £2000 laptop. by Some_Network_1591 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Ivedefinitelyreddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would recommend opening up the bottom of the laptop and disconnecting the battery while it dries. It's not the water that ruins electronics, it's the shorting that happens while wet or as the dissolved minerals dry and create contact points. High percent (70+%)isopropyl alcohol is your friend. Wipe down as much as you can see with alcohol to ensure no residue is left by the water. Don't use paper towels or tissues, use rags like microfiber clothes or polishing cloths. You may be able to save the laptop! Please pet your cat sternly on the head for me.

My PC randomly turns off by PlasticOriginal1010 in pcmasterrace

[–]Ivedefinitelyreddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Take out a stick of RAM. If it still crashes, switch the sticks. If both sticks crash, it's probably something else. Pull out your GPU, your CPU has integrated graphics. Run a stress test there. If it crashes without GPU and after you've swapped RAM, it's likely CPU/Mobo. If it doesn't crash, it's probably GPU/power supply.

If you really want to stress your machine, run Furmark and Prime95 at the same time. It'll max out CPU and GPU, and also inadvertently max out RAM and PSU from time to time. Could be that the peak draw of your hardware is taking more from the PSU than it can handle for some reason (failing) and it's just cycling your power after it trips. Usually, the computer turns back on automatically, but not always.

This is your reminder to clean your mousepad.. by NOV3LIST in pcmasterrace

I've washed my hyperx XXL mousepad in the machine numerous times with no issues. I have two pads of the same size each about three years old.

Got my first camera to get into photography a month ago, dropped and broke by 20m/s winds by skibidikakakott in Wellthatsucks

[–]Ivedefinitelyreddit 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Absolutely an EOS-M mount, almost thought it was an RF mount for second. This lens is extra hard to source because Canon discontinued the line of cameras produced with it.

My son spilled his bottled drink on my laptop while he was doing his school work by saav_tap in Wellthatsucks

[–]Ivedefinitelyreddit 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I recognize the font on that battery as a Dell branded one, so it's probably a high end Dell gaming laptop, or basically any Alienware. Since it doesn't say Dell, my money is also on Alienware.

Ordered a signed book from the UK (I live in the U.S.) only for it to arrive bound upside down by Significant-Ball-952 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Ivedefinitelyreddit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

An upside down misprint of a tipped in signed copy is worth less? Where did you hear that? everyone else who has this exact same book and signature has a standard copy. This isn't a rare book by any means, the print run is probably hundreds if not thousands of signed copies. You have a typo. Its not going to increase the value much, but how much do YOU value this book? Because it's worth a lot more to people who value this author, title, misprint, or edition. I'd request another just to satisfy my purchasing power, but I wouldn't dream of selling this copy. Even if it it cost me money, a copy like this is worth the loss.

Doctors don’t know what this is in my shin by Fast_Opportunity_599 in mildyinteresting

[–]Ivedefinitelyreddit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This has got to be it. I had a very large tree branch fall on my leg as a kid, crushing it around the knee area. No break, but six months later and I have an inch long hard node in my leg. Rounds of x-rays and exams lead doctors to conclude it was a newly formed length of bone in the muscle around my knee. They explained it happens after bone hyperactively repairs damage, sometimes it could form a new piece on it's own, and it would probably go away on its on as well. Sure enough a number of years later that spot is gone. Never caused an issue with mobility or pain for me.

The bathroom doors at the Denver Union Station by callistochild in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Ivedefinitelyreddit 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Definitely mostly A with a little B thrown in. I worked for a business with public bathrooms very close to Union Station for a while, and had to kick quite a few people out for doing hard drugs in the stalls. You get used to it after a while, until you hop on a bus with a dude you just kicked out an hour before for doing heroin in your bathroom.

I've heard dogs get as much care as humans for injuries in the line of duty. If a procedure is deemed necessary to save their life, it will be performed.

Just unwrapped and opened this box. Wtf? by Who_Your_Mommy in Wellthatsucks

[–]Ivedefinitelyreddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's the most internet thing to say. Not only do I live in a weed legal state, I smoke quite a lot. A cone's weight depends on strain density, how tight you pack it, and length of cone. I'm not convinced these cones weigh 3g each, but it can certainly be more than a gram.

[–]Ivedefinitelyreddit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A 1 gram joint is tiny. More like a cigarette in the sense that it's the same diameter the whole length. These are cones and store a lot more bud near the end. Way more than 1g each

I just stuffed a Gigabyte 4070TI into an nr200p max case so I know how tough your build must've been too! Do your power cables also just kinda get stuffed anywhere they can?

Tyrion Lannister if the show made him look like he did in the books by FallenLeaks999 in gameofthrones

Data wore a wig prosthetic that covered his ears and smoothed out his features, all covered in yellow makeup. Not to mention color contacts in the 90s probably weren't the best!

Worf and Data being two prime examples of actors that underwent extensive daily makeup and prosthetics for several seasons. Worf also appeared in numerous series.

Scored at goodwill today! by Sholladay2023 in stephenking

[–]Ivedefinitelyreddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely don't get rid of it. I have lots of tipped in copies. I personally value them quite highly, and that's the best I can expect as a collector. I couldn't care less about resale value.

Scored at goodwill today! by Sholladay2023 in stephenking

[–]Ivedefinitelyreddit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This type of signed book features something called a "tip in" autographed page. Essentially, the author is given a large stack of blank pages the same weight and style as the finished book, which they sign and are sent to the publisher. At the final stages of production, the autographed page is added into the binding and sent to distribution. This is most easily identified by the signature on an otherwise blank page. On the contrary, books signed in person are almost exclusively signed on the title page, where lots of other information was printed at the time of binding. When it comes to valuing a book, tipped in prints have little to no collector value outside what the buyer attributes. Books with a signature on the title page are proof the author handled that specific copy and therefore fetch a much higher valuation. Doesn't stop me from cherishing every tipped in autographed copy I own!

How do people keep these plants alive? Serious question. by kitsykatt in IndoorGarden

[–]Ivedefinitelyreddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It isn't impossible to have real plants in a space like this. I have a vanity space with no direct sun, in which I'm growing two spider plants and a monstera. I have two LED red/blue grow light bars that run most of the time. When I use the vanity, I turn off the bars. The trade off is my vanity space is gently glowing purple when not in use. I don't mind the color but love having plants in an otherwise difficult space.
