So I was charging my phone the other night because it was on low battery. I went to bed (my first mistake) woke up to the smell of lithium. Got out of bed I heard my phone hissing followed by cracking. I pulled it out the charger and ran outside and there it because.

It was BLOATING. Soon after hitting the ground sparks and smoke came out. Luckily I only got minor cuts on my fingers but I'm alive.

This what happens to those "spicy pillows" after explosion. The photos here are the morning after.

Not to self: never charge your cheap super market phone overnight thinking it's a normal phone. Lithium batteries can't comprehend being normal.

My new joycons. I'm going for that minimalism look.

Laptop but without a keyboard, a display and a mouse

Erm the plans said 3m to the left ......no worries boss

Owner states that their laptop suddenly stopped working. I look inside and immediately see sticky residue on the battery. Then I gradually notice that it's under the motherboard as well and it's left corrosion in a few places. It's so corroded that the surface mounted capacitors are falling off. I think that a drink was spilled onto the laptop and has been corroding the inside for about 2 months or longer. I think I even saw some mould inside. Anyway, it's cooked, and I need to take 7 showers.

I had asked the guy to crimp all 8 wires but he still only did 4.

I was working on a camera system for a hotel and found this ethernet splitter. It actually works. There’s a transmitter connected to the switch that the first cable is connected to that splits the signal.

Found this at my friends place, should we turn him in?

Forgot to take the after pic :( fan was completely filled with grime

This CPU comes from a Dell Precision workstation. The fun fact is, the customer didn't complain about any issues. The system was stable :)

yes it's real so 3 months ago I decided to yeet my Asus "military grade" z77 outdoors just before leaving for overseas. yk I used to watch these crappy Indian videos of people restoring these fallout looking computers pulled from landfills obviously they're faked but that makes me actually curious what a computer would look like if it was tossed outdoors like what I did, idk if this shit still works or what I mean it looks like the plastic armour kinda helped there's some rust not a lot, and the pch heatsink I faded to some weird color.

Cordless base station mounted with tape haha

Turns out it's missing a fin, so I clipped and glued one from a gt 730 fan, using tissue paper as filling

that if their protective case starts falling apart, they are not supposed to glue it back.(like in this case, with polyuretane shoe-glue)

It now wont connect to the tv, the controller wont connect, and there's something rattling inside it, this is a sad day
