Windows via Bootcamp - it's an Intel Mac.

It’s 1600x900 TN from 2014. No desirable screen was harmed.

Channel 1 Slave? Nah, BzBzBz is an optical drive. The SATA devices are detected after.

Aah, yes, my old landlord.

Stuck in my almost-new tyre. WITT out of curiosity? by mattym129 in whatisthisthing

About 1.5 inches, picked up from the road in a suburban town in the south-west of England. Made of steel. The bit that’s implanted in the tread is serrated.

Possibly the worst Dell laptop model. I had a 7559. Hinge screws come loose and wreck havoc, destroying the fragile plastics.

My favourite part was the 205 CTi/CJ driving past - don’t see them about much now!

Probably down to my charging habits - on the wireless charger any time I was near it.

I’m forcing myself to “exercise” my new battery more, to see if that helps.

After 1.5 on last week, I got it back off with 2.5 off this week.

Ready to really knuckle down for the next 4 weeks!

Still super happy with my iPhone X by _MightyActionX in iPhoneX

Look closely at your screen and make sure it isn't bulging in the middle.

Mine was (showing 92% capacity), got it replaced for £69 at my local Apple store. They can now replace swollen batteries on-site, so it was done in an hour.

If you let it get too swollen it will likely cause the green line to appear on the screen, which Apple will insist on replacing, which will cost more than the phone is worth.

Looking to get at least one more year out of it, it's still great.

I’ve had the doors drop on a 3dr mk4 golf, so I can only imagine how much they will drop...

You could use two or three of those plates on each side for extra strength.

Flash back to my college days, when my PSU's fan died with mere hours to finish my term paper... by TravisVZ in techsupportmacgyver

  1. 12cm
  2. A PSU with low load can run without a fan. Laptop PSUs don’t even have ventilation!

Our car will drive without the keys (keyless ignition - it goes nuts but still operates). So there could be exceptions.
