| daftykins | phew, back from a meeting with the satellite and aerials guy up at one o' the big homes | 09:22 |
|---|---|---|
| daftykins | he concurred with my view of the existing that it's rubbish | 09:22 |
| daftykins | hrmm pfSense router is even worse with the new SSD in, which just arrived this morning - time to get linitx.com's opinion | 10:46 |
| diddledan | whatcha tosh, got a toshiba? | 14:04 |
| zxm-pi | there is a name i haven't heard in a long time | 14:15 |
| diddledan | tosh, or toshiba? | 14:17 |
| diddledan | they're in trouble, but still around: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toshiba | 14:18 |
| daftykins | well whoever took over calls their SSDs Kioxia now iirc | 14:39 |
| diddledan | that's just the ssd devision spun out to a new company | 14:40 |
| diddledan | no longer owned by toshiba or a toshiba influenced company | 14:40 |
| daftykins | yeah | 14:40 |
| zxm-pi | used to be one of the high end laptops, last one i saw about 10+ years ago the base had so much ventilation holes i could see the motherboard and read writing on it | 14:40 |
| daftykins | think it all precipitated from power company issues in Japan | 14:41 |
| diddledan | I've got several kioxia drives | 14:41 |
| daftykins | oops it seems removing the latest iMac's left speaker, i have torn off the power switch wire | 14:41 |
| diddledan | ouch | 14:41 |
| daftykins | i see soldering in my future | 14:41 |
| diddledan | at least it's resolderable! | 14:41 |
| zxm-pi | or giving the new owner a paper clip and telling them to wave it around this hole till mac goes *BONG* | 14:42 |
| diddledan | I enjoy that boot chime | 14:42 |
| zxm-pi | remember, *BONG* good *KABOOM* bad | 14:42 |
| diddledan | still, I really want David Levinson's boot greeting! | 14:42 |
| diddledan | https://youtu.be/ump4HEWnrEk | 14:44 |
| daftykins | well i don't know yet xD | 14:48 |
| daftykins | looks pretty easy, have to heat up the shell and remove the current power switch to get to where the wires are soldered on | 14:56 |
| daftykins | wow i think the warm weather helped, just a small pick helped me pull it out of the casing | 15:34 |
| zxm-pi | apple will learn from this and start using vinyl like the car seats we used to stick to in the heat waves of the 1970s :-P | 15:35 |
| daftykins | these wires + solder pads are sooooo tiny | 15:39 |
| daftykins | https://i.imgur.com/4yG0EEP.jpg | 15:45 |
| zxm-pi | pretty tiny | 15:56 |
| daftykins | ooh i lifted the PCB and copper contact piece off the plastic with a very thin slot head scredriver bit \o/ | 15:56 |
| zxm-pi | i can just see next summers action movie as the bomb needs to be defused in less than a minute. 'stand back, i do apple repairs!' :-P | 15:57 |
| zxm-pi | 1: we're saved! 2: here's my bill 1: we're doomed! | 15:58 |
| daftykins | xD | 16:08 |
| daftykins | time for an emergency 'Fab' | 16:10 |
| zxm-pi | go go pi force! | 16:10 |
| daftykins | oh, one more pic for you | 16:11 |
| daftykins | here's where i found the cat when i woke up - https://i.imgur.com/1zPNK3Z.jpg | 16:11 |
| zxm-pi | adding hairs to the clean laundry, cat doing what a cats gotta do | 16:12 |
| daftykins | thankfully not clean :D | 16:20 |
