I found this usb drive in the first class. Im scared it contains a tracker, llegal files or a virus. I think im going to crack it open to check if it contains a tracker, i’ll post an image in the comments of that. I do have an old laptop to open it on, i wont connect it to a network. Any other suggestions to see what is on it?

When I turn it on the screen shows this. I hit and hold CTRL + P and the screen goes black. But then the computer shuts off.

I was trying to get the desktop plugged in to my living room TV and the lights went out.

I just wanted some internet points so I replicated the issue by slapping the HDMI tip on the IO Shield knowing it would spark

I fixed bent AM4 CPU pins with a syringe needle

I've found out that AM4 CPU pins are almost the exact same diameter as the needle orifice in a 23 gauge hypodermic needle (diameter = 0.337mm).

I bought a cheap, second hand Ryzen 5 with slightly bent pins that prevented the CPU from properly seating into the socket.

I managed to bend them back into shape with the needle and I can now completely insert it into the socket with no problems. :)

You have to cut off just a little bit of the sharp, pointy tip of the needle with a pair of scissors in order to make it work. Don't cut off the whole portion or you risk clamping the orifice shut.

Much less finicky to use than a mechanical pencil imho.

What do you guys think? Cool idea or just plain ridiculous?

Video encoder is corrupting files, causing windows to read them as exobytes. Of course the machine crashes when deleting, modifying, or opening the file.
