24:00 this reminds me of the time a fellow phycisist asked our accelerator lab to blast a high-energy electron beam straight into his old disk hard drive to destroy it. I was a beam operator, so I got to move the beam to make sure we got everything. I tried to write "fried" on it, but that thing's really damn hard to aim so it just looked like jagged squiggles. The hard drive was thoroughly wiped though, and it only took a week for it to not be dangerously radioactive anymore!

I'm the one who did the "Passive cooled i9" using the block of copper. yes, it did work. in fact, I had run a benchmarking program for about 3 minutes and the temps were fine. I had been given this glorious in my vocational school during my 2nd year and it was my teachers rig that I somehow got permission to experiment with. the copper block actually came from one of two industrial computers (one block for each) designed to simulate the human body for use in a medical class across the hall that had been moved and they didn't need them, and we ended up disassembling them. Thought that it was funny and decided to try cooling the CPU with it, then discovered it actually worked and ended up posting to reddit. I'm glad I did.

(I know this might get lost, but from the new girl!) Hi Lexi - the array at 27:40 just ate my soul. For context - I have worked on computers since 1982, yes, I was 9. My first storage device was LITERALLY a cassette tape, and I have been doing storage and data protection ever since. It's quite scary. For the first 12 years of my career, I built networks and data centers. BUT... In October 2003, San Diego was hit with a huge firestorm that burned all the way to the beach. Except our office was in that path. SOOOOO, this was literally our DR plan. We didn't have true cabinet arrays yet, so we schlepped all disks, bays, and critical servers into regular contract bags and into the back of pickup trucks to protect our data. And yes, all tapes too. Uh, coming back from that was a nightmare, and got me started in full disaster recovery engineering. But just 6 months later, because they didn't pay the bills, we got hit with the Witty Worm virus, overwriting the first 8 sectors of every disk it could touch, taking out our whole data center FOR REAL. I spent three days on the phone with Veritas walking me through Solaris, an old DLT tape library, an i500, and our sanity. But we were open for business on Monday. DR Prep and Recovery has been my bag for 20 years and it has only grown more and more relevant. Also - I have anecdotal evidence that an IBM Shark Array will INDEED stop bullets, thanks to a compadre in India caught in that terror attack in 2010.

[@EvonneSol]

That photo of the DS reminded me of the time I took one of my old ASUS laptops apart to clean it, put it back together, and mixed up two of the screws. One of them came out of the top of the laptop but it still ran for another 3 years before it finally gave up. Good times. I also spilled beer all over that poor thing [hence needing to clean it] and replaced the ribbon cable/connector and it refused to die.

that image of swapping the arrow keys with WASD just reminded me of the weird in game labeling of the Interstate '76 games. for some reason, they wanted to use the numpad arrow keys to drive the cars, rather than the standard ones. so when i got into options to change it, they were specified as GREY arrow keys, when the numpad set are labeled as just arrow keys. took me like half an hour to figure that out

[@RJTpi]

1:12:35 That specific model of TI calculator (and perhaps others, but the TI-30X IIS is the only TI scientific calculator I'm really familiar with) has a reset button on the back - you stick a paperclip in a little hole and push the button inside, and it clears the memory. The calculator shown is broken in a spot where that back reset button should still be present, as from pictures I've found online the button *seems* to be right around where the bottom of the silver area is on the front (no clue where *my* old scientific calculator is to check it myself, and I'm pretty sure my siblings have Casios for school). In short: You don't need the keys to reset the memory of that particular calculator as long as the reset button on the back is present, which it likely is in this case.

20:24 Fun fact, most circuit breakers are designed to be idiot-resistant. They have a "trip-free" mechanism which means even if you hold them in the on position they will still trip when overloaded. To put the power back on you need to move the lever fully off and then on.

17:48 2000W hairdryer is normal for most of the world, that laptop is also a very common laptop from asus which is quite popular outside of America. So most the worl uses 230V or around there so 2000/230 is like 9 amps so pleanty of headroom also alot of places merge rooms and use a 20amp breaker for multiple outlets in multiple rooms so the chances of the 9amp tripping is next to none.

Well, it happen at beginning. My first hard drive with IDE/ATA interface installing in my job PC ended with a boom and smoke. ATA sockets had no plastic rim then. I inserted flat cable with skew by one pin and didn't noticed that. Controller chip now had huge hole in middle. Drive cost then (at 1992) was 4 my salaries.

The floppy disk one.... When I was in middle school I had my first ever computer homework. It was a paper on budgies. I had done so much research, I had written several pages, made it magnificent with wordart and pictures and I was so proud. I spent two weeks on that paper. I had just gotten a budgie and I was obsessed. We had to hand it in on a floppy disk. I have ADHD and forgot to bring it to school the day it was supposed to be handed in and the next day as well. I promised the teacher I had done it! I would bring it tomorrow, I promise! Mom decided that the easiest way to make me remember it was to stick it to the fridge so I would see it in the morning. I saw it, packed it and proudly presented it to my teacher. The absolute trauma from realizing that all that work was gone and innocent little me not having made any backups still echo in my head every time I save my current work in like five different places ^^;

[@FFVison]

I used to work in a computer lab affiliated with a steel mill (part of their continuing education program) and there was an open lab where employees would bring in their computers and we would work through issues they had on them. I remember at one point, someone put a new hard drive into their computer and we transferred the data. I asked them if they wanted me to take the drive home to wipe all of the data on it to which they said, nah. I'll just take it and chuck it into the ladle. The "ladle" in a steel mill is big enough to fit a car in and is hot enough to where steel is liquid. Think ending of Terminator 2. Yeah, I think that will take care of destroying the data on that drive.

7:30 To answer your question, if it's inky, it's an LCD. If it's missing pixels, it's an LED. LCD is quite literally translated to Liquid Crystal Display, so if something breaks the seal between the "pixels", the contents will leak out, just like in these images. Without any crystals to produce the image, the end result is black.

I remember the Comments section of said video being pretty much an even split between "school of hard knocks" types going "That'll learn her!" and geeks going "You absolute fucking moron. You could've just unplugged its battery and hidden the extension cord or stashed it away until her grades pick up!"

Lexi, I love you and the way you make this stuff so much less painful for those of us who are tech savvy. I think the wildest thing I have seen was Windows being used to power public devices. On two occasions I have seen a publicly accessible device that ran Windows and had failed. One was an exhibit in a science museum. It had suffered a BSoD and was waiting to be restarted. Now that wasn't so bad. It runs on a computer. The museum didn't want to waste money with a custom OS. I get it. Still kind of funny to see, at least to me. The other one was one of those full-panel touch screen soda machines. You know the kind; the entire front panel is a huge touchscreen display that replaces the glass. The damn thing had BSoD'd. That wasn't the truly funny part, though. The BSoD was SIDEWAYS! It was basically a 4 foot wide flatscreen monitor mounted in portrait mode! So the BSoD was impossible to read without turning your head 90 degrees to the side!

[@KrotowX]

It is cheaper for manufacturers to cobble together already existing solutions. Did you seen Windows NT and XP in ATM machines and banking kiosks? I did. Even with dreaded IE6 in kiosk mode. It is particularly safe for customer data though, machines have no access from outside, doesn't store client data locally and aren't used through Internet directly. Bluescreens still happen though. In contrary nowadays you can notice various Linux kernel panic screens in info panels as well. In last year's Germany trip noticed Linux kernel panic screen in advertising panel installed in WC behind translucent urinary. Laughed like crazy.

[@walton609]

Noticed a tiny bit of confusion so I thought I'd share: There are a couple different kinds of CPU socket designs. First there are sockets that clamp down on an array of pins built in to a processor. Then there are sockets where the pins are on the motherboard, and you clamp a flat CPU down onto *that*. You can find one such motherboard at 1:04:44 (PAAAAIN), and a processor made for a similar socket at 1:06:09.

56:01 to 56:09 Yes we replace the thermal paste when take off the heat sink, as it breaks the bond that the thermal paste makes between the CPU and heatsink. It's recommend to replace thermal paste an clean out heatsinks just like you would with a laptop fan. If you don't replace the thermal paste/clean out the heatsink then you can actually get overheating issues that end up unalive/cook the CPU and make it unusable and needing to be replaced.

Keyboards with swapped keys recalled a memory about coworker who in begin of nineties after few partying nights localized good part of his Mac OS text resources into our language. Hence MacOS already had resource editor and why not. Not only localized, but rewrote many sentences into slang words used in local artist and designer circle. Interaction with that Mac turned out funny as hell. Unfortunately nobody including the "localizer" was able to use this Mac properly anymore because it wasn't possible to understand anything. In end it was given to IT people for full reinstall.

Hm. An hour, twenty two minutes, and twenty five seconds of Lexi in agony. That sounds promising.

Bro I remember I used to play purble place on my mom’s old Toshiba laptop. It did everything it needed to.

[@catisyellen9877]

Holy crap, that microscope one. No wonder it’s so difficult to fix electronics. 😮

[@wbat5816]

Wow!

[@doctordisco77]

Saddest thing ever was when I saw the multitude controllers that were in the oven reminded me of when my mom put the candle in the oven trying to hide it from me and then play on to make cobbler then I came back to my Kindle fire catching fire and then it melted. My mom went running and said oh s***

[@Just_a_commenter]

AYO 82 MINUTES OF LEXI! :D This gives me big smiles and happy brain chemicals.

Lenovo has some amazing tech in comparison to some other companys. Used to be a Samsung girly but then I got a seven year old Lenovo laptop from a yard sale and fell in love with that beast.

The jaggedy goopy lines on a broken screen are usually only there for liquid crystal base screens, and older screens and many modern ones too with back lights they have a layer of liquid crystals and when you give them electricals stimulation they can turn opaque or transparent and with a bit of dye or film over it they can show up as a specific color like red green and blue like pixels however when the screen is shattered the liquid crystal can basically spill out everywhere and then settle in a spot as it is the kind of like a gel like liquid.

[@Regalis_Regium]

I've said it before, I'll say it again. Lexi is the best Narrator

[@tricktrade6767]

I love how sometimes they see a picture and just LAUGH! Like they take a lap joker style

[@starlight846]

Think about what the Lexi wife would be listening to in the next room

[@eternalisolation6106]

The one and only time I've ever broken a controller is when it was constantly disconnecting on me, it was one of those cheap crappy pc controllers that go for like $10 on amazon, so I threw it and it broke, but I wasn't done yet. I unplugged it (it had a really long cable) and took it outside onto the driveway, then proceeded to grab a literal sledge hammer and go to town on it, it was rather difficult to clean up the tiny pieces of plastic in the gravel driveway.
