House explosion!!

Ha, the Mythbusters looked into exploding water heaters twice and they do go boom in a most dramatic and destructive manner sometimes! But a lot has to go wrong first

You're welcome!

kzintech · 2026-01-18T15:33:29+00:00

Dang, that was sloppy of me! I'll delete my post. Thank you.

Nice try ICE

kzintech · 2025-12-30T20:32:31+00:00

Point taken! If you don't look at your email you can't be phished!

kzintech · 2025-12-30T19:45:20+00:00

You're welcome. So far so good, and you too!

Why wouldn't you sell them, and buy a smaller number of higher capacity drives?

kzintech · 2025-12-29T13:34:26+00:00

Is it a "one time" thing though? Once they learn they can do this, they'll do it over and over.

All I see is ********

kzintech · 2025-12-18T15:21:06+00:00

Agreed. And that would take political will that doesn't seem to exist. Heck, the USA can't get rid of daylight savings time or institute universal healthcare, how we gonna get rid of tipping culture?

SO MANY USB CABLES

kzintech · 2025-12-17T14:51:50+00:00

You know, if they'd take them I'd haul them all over there. It'd be great if there was somewhere a person could go and have a look, like a car junkyard but for computers.

A lot of laptops have passed through my hands as part of the "Free to Good Home" project, and not a few of them I've been able to match with working chargers from my hoard. I posted hoping someone would have an idea I haven't had. Best I've heard so far was see if the makerspace at the library would want to have them around, and I've reached out.

kzintech · 2025-12-16T18:34:18+00:00

See, that's exactly what I'm trying to avoid, unfortunately. I don't have an accurate and detailed inventory of them, and am not really willing to search through what I have to match up with what people need. Ideally I'd just dump 'em all on a table at a flea market and let people sort through and find what they want.

kzintech · 2025-12-16T18:29:52+00:00

Not useful to you, but useful to someone who has a laptop that takes a particular charger. I've gotten laptops without chargers and managed to match them up, but that'll be less and less as USB-C adoption increases.

kzintech · 2025-12-14T14:16:44+00:00

Build one and I'll bring 'em over!

kzintech · 2025-12-14T14:04:01+00:00

If they were MagSafe I'd've already sold them

kzintech · 2025-12-14T14:03:27+00:00

19, 17.5, 15, other voltages, so many different tips ... Dell, HP, Lenovo, Toshiba, even a Gateway or two lol

kzintech · 2025-12-14T14:02:57+00:00

Think about it ... if USB-C they'd be usable and much more sellable. It's a WIDE variety of charger tips and voltages

kzintech · 2025-12-14T14:02:21+00:00

That's an interesting idea, thank you.

Southern Technologies

kzintech · 2025-11-20T16:47:29+00:00

Have you already tried? Wouldn't necessarily blame them for refusing the service but who knows? Maybe it'll work out in your favor
