The Filthy, Rotten, Nasty, Helpdesk-Nightmare picture clubhouse

Good for you, I guess, getting to experience what must have been a very nicely preserved guitar, but for him ... owning it for 10 years and never actually experiencing it as it was meant? That's really weird to me. Especially given just how tactile something like a guitar is.

I assumed he meant the plastic was still on the pickguard, or whatever it's called. I don't think I've ever seen a guitar with plastic protection elsewhere.

I hope Im not out of place to tell You that You forgot to peel film off of Your case

I could never understand people who leave the plastic wrapping on their stuff

There's a good reason why i didn't remove it, to protect the Glass from my 2 year old Daughter's Hands/finger prints
It's just temporary till i get a new Desk

As soon as you take that plastic off there will be smears of unknown things and chocolate. You'll be huffing windex for days.

A damp microfiber cloth will take care of anything that gets on the glass with far less hassle than windex, and likely look better too

I prefer the feeling of loosing brain cells.

He said he bought it to learn and never did. It just sat. He said the only damage is a few scratches on the pick guard. I said you mean the protective film. peeled it of as soon as I got home

As far as kids and finger prints, I remember the days of pulling a peanut butter sandwich out of the VCR

For a two year leaving fingerprints that looks pretty easy to deal with.

The many uses of superglue.

That's not SuperGlue, it's epoxy.

It qualifies. Check out the hairy dust bunnies pushing out under the fan... There is a matte of that crap in the fan..

Just bought 2nd wireless keyboard for low price, when it arrived i feel something that not right and i found something behind the buttons something like snake skin or dandruff? Damn

I cleaned it then use hand sanitizer to spray the keyboard

 

[cst1992]

Nice keyboard!

 

[Jetster]

Keyboards are disgusting. I buy new then put them in the closet after they get dirty. I have a few

Disassembling to remove the PCB, then stick the keyboard in the automatic dishwasher for a normal or short wash cycle with detergent might help clear out more crud. Hand washing too could work except let it soak in the soapy water.

... sounds like an eminently economical and environmentally friendly approach. You could at least give them away to someone willing to clean and use them?

A sad GF3 Ti 200 cooler and an Abit NF7-S I got back from my cousins. Needless to say I put on the mask, goggles and took out from storage the BFG aka the air compressor.

That's like dirty squared.

Oh dear. Are they smokers? Or do they live next to a major thoroughfare? That almost looks like road dust, with the fine-grained, kinda-tarry black gunk.

 

[Robert B]

The PC stood in a shop about 1.5 m from the ground and I think that one of the lateral covers wasn't used for some time. None in the family smokes. Thank GOD!!!

The GF3 came from the flea market. I didn't detect any smoke scent. Who knows where and how it was used? That card also had some major rust issues but believe it or not it still works fine.

What happens when you clean every filter your case has but one? This:

That poor front panel is literally choking!
For comparison, this is in Feb 2016 when that panel was brand new(above photos taken in Dec 2019):

Yeah, ok...that...sounds WAY out of my league

Linus Tech Tips has a video on YT where he tries to solder back on some pins of an AMD CPU. Honestly, it looks as if it's out of his league too
Just google "LTT fixed dead cpu"

Yeah i copied LTTs method and lost more pins

Then i followed random reddit advice and revived the CPU in seconds, using the wires from a SATA port - LTT does things *wrong* so it looks really hard, and people buy new products instead

(if he made it look easy and succeeded, he could be sued for encouraging people to damage X brands property)

This, yes!
