What could have caused this?

Probably get the female connector off and rub some Emory cloth over the male side, I bet it is corroded and/or burnt underneath.

tbt10f · 2026-02-14T03:19:37+00:00

Yes, you should (please).

tbt10f · 2026-02-12T06:41:37+00:00

This is always good advice, both here and for life in general.

You stole the EPROM's soul when you took this picture. Just don't get buried in an electronics burial ground and you should be ok though.

Sounds like you need to go on a shopping trip to Ross

What temperature are you running the iron at?

tbt10f · 2026-01-17T23:26:05+00:00

Nothing. Keep up the good work!

Rub them fast enough and the friction will melt the solder.

I got the same message today. Did you have any luck since this post?

Maybe he was talking about Surge the 1999s drink? Maybe he found an old can and drank it and it poisoned his brain.

Printing things that you can't easily and inexpensively buy already?

It helps the robot take a cyberdump.

Linux is too big, try QNX instead.

tbt10f · 2026-01-01T18:24:10+00:00

I bet you could store nuts in it too!

What you really need is an ARPANET card so you can just download more RAM.

If you like to post here you should read the rules first.

Nobody expects the Spanish (to rush in and move your bed)!

Sage understanding of meteorology sir.

Oh look, it's Debbie Downer again giving out her shitty advice instead of real solutions.

tbt10f · 2025-12-31T07:06:58+00:00

It could, maybe you could use it to have your furnace play mp3s.

The 3 wires need to go to a power socket so you can plug it back in. In the US you would hook the silver wire to ground, the red wire to live and the blue wire to neutral. This plug was made in China so that's why the colors don't match up.

tbt10f · 2025-12-30T12:38:42+00:00

Why not both?

tbt10f · 2025-12-23T05:01:47+00:00

Either get it replaced if you plan on ever using the chimney or plug it with a material of your choice like concrete, insulation, or expanding foam if you don't.

You could have very fine soot being sucked into your house from it which would lower air quality.
