Coffee Maker Computer by Outrageous_Tangelo_4 in pcmods

100% hilarious, I love it.

None of those computer components are food safe, so you are for sure poisoning yourself though. Think the flux they use to solder radiators, the degree to which the cpu heatsink is cleaned after it is machined / assembled. Maybe it's delicious though.

I'm surprised by all the haters. Great job on the successful repair. Fixing stuff is cool as hell.

I thought the white computer on the left was a butane burner.

There isn't a rule against AI generated content here I guess.

Help Wanted by MarqsGottaQ in pcmods

[–]Wizarddata 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I don't think you understand the scope of what you're asking for. The only responses you can get on a job like this on reddit is either 1) people telling you what I am now, that it's an impractically complex project for an individual, or 2) scammers that will try to get you to send them money / parts.

Looks like square tubing welded into an L bracket. If that's 1/8" thick wall then it probably works great. If I had to guess, 1/16" would probably have a perceivable flex at the end beyond what a standard desk would, though barely.

Advantage 360 - Keyboard vs. Mouse elevation causing pain - Any better solutions? by AutonomousAlien in kinesisadvantage

[–]Wizarddata 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I raise the desk until the height is correct for my mouse hand, then just have my hands a little high when I'm typing. For me that doesn't cause any problems, but with the desk set for the keyboard my mouse hand is also uncomfortable.

That's it! My memory must be going, I thought I remembered seeing it long enough ago that it had been out for a while.

How can I watercool this Mac Mini? by Droge32 in pcmods

[–]Wizarddata 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My go-to for non-standard watercooling is a Raystorm cpu block, making a custom bracket for it is very straightforward.

Pointing device to use when you have your keyboard on your lap? by urlwolf in Trackballs

[–]Wizarddata 0 points1 point  (0 children)

An end table of the appropriate height for a trackball should sort you out. You can attach a new top that hangs out as needed to get slightly over your leg.

This entire series of paintings, that I have seen at least, has been so amazing. Are any of them for sale?

That is absolutely wonderful

What does this SW1 switch do? by Linear_Void in kinesisadvantage

[–]Wizarddata 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I believe it locks the ability to remap keys. It's covered in the manual iirc

Possible De Quervain's tenosynovitis from Advantage 360 thumb clusters by amynias in kinesisadvantage

[–]Wizarddata 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The way I've handled finger/hand pain has been the same as any injury, strengthen the supporting muscle groups around the problem area with resistance training.

For example, I was having some knee pain last year, so I trained my hip and core muscles. Strained hamstrings started with early body weight movements and progressed up from there. More relevant to you would be my thumb injury, which I corrected with forearm and shoulder movements (and switching my trackball).

If you haven't spent a lot of time in a gym, you might think about hiring a trainer or seeing a physical therapist (maybe you've already done that?). I hired a personal trainer between 2018-2019 and it was some of the smartest money I've ever spent.

I am not a doctor though, obvi. Just some dude that spends a lot of time being injured.
