lost and found cleanout time is upon us yet again.
I'm doing the easy stuff first, which today means
-- 39 water bottles off to Goodwill and;
-- two unopened, king-sized, Hershey chocolate bars off to the office snack table.
Sorting completed, hurrah! Highlights include:
-- an analog wall clock;
-- as nearly as I can tell a real cashmere scarf;
-- somebody's polyester interview tie;
-- an apple-brand tablet pencil that's also magnetic, and;
-- a dell brand tablet pencil;
-- a very suss off-brand chip card reader;
-- and finally, a power charger for something no one can identify.
oh right. And about 5 Apple air pod cases. Aren't those things like really expensive?
@lbrianwrites show me the power charger, i'll take a crack at it 👀
@lbrianwrites (if it's possible)
@mavica_again Shoot, sorry, it's all packed up into storage. If I remember and have some free time today I'll try to sneak back down and snap a pic.
@mavica_again If you're interested in odd power chargers, my family recently unearthed this power cable for a long-discarded DSL modem and I haven't quite been able to discover a name for it.
@lbrianwrites that's a quite bespoke one! the connector is a DIN type (which just describes the shape, not what goes on the pins) but thankfully the voltages it outputs are clearly marked!
if it was rated for higher output currents than just a few milliamps on each rail it would make a quite handy workbench supply :) unfortunately i don't think it'll be too useful other than for the modem it was made for unless for someone really into minute tinkering
@mavica_again Yeah, my fam has always been early internet adopters, so it makes sense we'd have a modem from slightly before things got really standardized. We were thinking of selling it on ebay, but for now I'm off to wiki DIN cables. Thanks for giving it a name! :)
@mavica_again I managed to sneak in right before closing. This is the unidentified charger. The work consensus was "probably earbuds?"
@lbrianwrites apparently a portable battery pack for a fitness thing! https://shop.whoop.com/en-us/products/battery-pack/?sku=961-002-000
@mavica_again That's a pretty awesome superpower you have, thanks!
@lbrianwrites for reference i figured it looked like it fit a smart watch and the WB40 label on it looked like an identification, so those were my keywords :)
Today's sorting includes:
-- 5 unopened packages of wide-ruled, loose-leaf paper;
-- NanoJuice brand fancy portable charger;
-- a Very Suspicious Knife;
-- and 15 apartment keys.
The number of apartment keys is ... alarmingly large this year. Usually it's around 3 to 5. And the Suspicious Knife is Very Suspicious.
