$20 laptop. Seems to work fine!

That’s as many cores as my 2025 MacBook Pro 🤯

And I didn’t even dial it back 100k 😇

Another computer to RIP (rest in pieces) in The Basement

It’s not fast, but it is mine

Mercedes Benz W124 300E 2.6 - Bought sight unseen! Is it a huge mistake? YouTube video by ThisOldCar

What is life without a few risks from time to time?

Nice guess! It’s a 2.6 1990, so pre wiring loom disaster.

The Basement now has a retro ride to recover retro tech!

Just my luck, brand new MacBook and the dvd drive is broken. Should I return it to Apple?

Many thanks to @rtod.bsky.social for this Christmas message. Only took 46 days to arrive!😆

IBM Aptiva Monitor Repair - Someone cut the cord! YouTube video by TheBasement

But who monitors the monitor?

Air NZ baggage drop kiosks in this airport are all running an unactivated version of windows 😆

Mine broke as well. I ended up pulling it apart and fixing it inside.

Op shop find today. Slim pickings at the moment…

This diode is very very naughty

I think I’ve solved it. Swapped over a diode/rectifier from a known good power supply and it’s working!

It’s not going well😅 can’t figure out the power supply repair. Even with a working PS to help trouble shoot, I just lack the required skills to make any progress 😞

Can anyone guess this 90s Apple product I’m working on today?

An early Christmas for me! Always wanted an original gameboy, and this one is in lovely condition. Also loving the lime green DS.

It’s a very merry PCBWaymas here in The Basement!

Glad it’s not just me! Threads also…

Wow this looks very similar to my Phillips tv/radio/tape recorder. Just without the computer keyboard.

I could have really used this last week

Then I hear the truck and it’s a mad scramble

I feel bad for the holder now 😢

Bit early for Easter?

This is the wrong place. We’re all enablers here.
