People: Oh how cool, I can monitor my chicken nuggets from my couch ~5m away.

This would genuinely be handy for me though. I’ve got a nine year old, and have similar aged kids over quite regularly. If I’m dealing with the kids, I can’t always hear the air fryer finishing. A notification to the phone that’s in my pocket would be really helpful.

As you say though, there’s always shit tacked on :(

I’ve got a CF-25 here. I keep meaning to find the power supply and seeing if it still works :)

Isn’t this the future you want? Not a car in sight, just trucks and trains frolicking freely, as nature intended 😉

My wife doesn’t just do this, she irons t-shirts inside out to protect the design, but also folds them with the design on the inside. Most of my t-shirts are black, so I have no way of telling them apart without unfolding them…

Get a fairly stiff brush, it feels really good, like scratching an itch that you couldn’t reach :)

USB floppy drives are pretty easy to buy online now. I bought one from either Amazon or Ali Express a little while ago, and it works perfectly :)

I wish I’d thought to take a photo of a computer I cleaned in 2010. It had been sent to the recycler I worked for from a factory as it had stopped working, and I opened the case to see what sort of components it had.

It was a mid sized ATX tower case, and was literally filled with dust. I don’t mean that there was lots of dust, I mean I couldn’t see any of the internals. I took the side panel off, and it looked like someone had filled the case with foam.

The business next door sold cars, and had an air compressor, so me and the guy who ran it took it in turns blowing the dust out. I never found out what the specs were, as even the PSU was full, and I didn’t want to risk turning it on, even after cleaning it.
