Two kinds of people exist:

Those who clean up after themselves in an event's media room

and

Those who leave their trash behind.

I built a very small PC in the plastic PC case that @teenageengineering.bsky.social gave away for free yesterday. Thanks to @nchan.bsky.social for grabbing the case and donating it to the cause!

Meant to ask you when this came up during Prime Day - how much time do you find it saves you using these attachments vs. hand scrubbing?
