I can see why the RAM pack is bolted on now. The case top standoffs look okayish, but the case bottom standoffs that are supposed to meet the motherboard & let the screws hold it on are completely missing, filed & sanded down to nothing. The motherboard is now so misaligned that the pack is actually suspended in the air, held on only by the edge connector & the weird support bracket. Any movement of the bracket makes an edge connector pin break contact.

I should look at the RF modulator in the nicer-looking one next.

But for the desperately modded one... Woohoo!

LB: weird coin.

The trouble with trying to keep a desk organized is that everything suddenly grows legs and wanders off.

@maple :3

*whew* After inspection and testing, I can't find anything new wrong. The motherboard screws aren't original, and one of them just dug into the plastic standoff wrong.

TFW you hear an unsettling *crunch* after you line up all the motherboard's mounting holes and start turning the first screw in.

@maple Is that a Genesis motherboard?

@softgoat Broken for me as well. I guess we have to wait for a new version. (2018.05.09 is the latest in my repo.)

After so much Star Trek, Star Wars, Babylon 5, Buck Rogers, & who remembers what else, when I think of starships, I still think of these real-world proposals shown in Carl Sagan's Cosmos.

@tahajin I'd protest that I'm not into droning, but I have SomaFM's Drone Zone playing in the office.

Okay, I think I just found the kind of pajamas I want for xmas. Does anyone know who sells these? https://www.deviantart.com/blackshirtboy/art/Easter-kigu-599268194

You're all good people, no matter what you think of yourselves.

@maple don't be. you're good.
