The fabulous wall mounted laptop returns. This time extra pretty with rainbows and stars.

[–] yetAnotherUser@discuss.tchncs.de 24 points 2 months ago

This is somehow simultaneously the best and worst setup I've ever seen.

[–] wilder@lemmy.blahaj.zone 21 points 2 months ago

Really dig the air cooling setup on this one.

I sent this to a friend and said "is this you?" and she replied that she had basically this set up in high school 🤭

[–] urheber@discuss.tchncs.de 17 points 2 months ago

That fits, I'm in highschool!

[–] abbiistabbii@lemmy.blahaj.zone 16 points 2 months ago (1 children)

That is the most chaotic image I have ever seen on here since "in the sewers :3".

[–] urheber@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

That's so funny.... Especially because I have those socks as well, but couldn't find em

[–] abbiistabbii@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 2 months ago

I can acquire kneehighs, I have a laptop, my city has a collection of stonelined easily accessible catacombs, and I can get redbull from my local cornershop. Let's go.

Is your screen taped to the floor?
Or is it your wall?
Or the ceiling?
What in the Dormamu shit is this dimension?

P.s.
Socks look pretty.

[–] urheber@discuss.tchncs.de 8 points 2 months ago

Thanks :3

It's a wall, although ceiling would have been super funny 🤣

[–] cupcakezealot@piefed.blahaj.zone 10 points 2 months ago (1 children)

did you get those socks from sockdreams too? :3 those are my favourite socks to wear!

[–] urheber@discuss.tchncs.de 7 points 2 months ago

I don't remember :3

I've had them for 4+ years, meow! :0

So it worked nice! How's the wifi speed?

[–] urheber@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 2 months ago (2 children)

I can't get wireless to work, so I gotta use my Ethernet.... Which is connected through half burned off fibres... Any idea for the wifi issue?

[–] sickday@fedia.io 4 points 2 months ago

Aw that sucks! If the card is recognized by Debian but you can't see networks or connect, you may be able to get away with just replacing the antennae instead of the entire NIC. Cursory glance says those are MHF4 Antenna, but I could be wrong. You would want to look for MHF4 for M.2/NGFF since that's the form factor of your NIC.

[–] sickday@fedia.io 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Looking closer at the NIC, it looks like it's not flat against the board. So it's possible that the connectors aren't making clean contact. Slap some electrical tape and/or Duct tape on that so that it's flat :)

[–] egrets@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

I really hope that this is the answer, purely because adding more tape to fix an incredibly tape-heavy setup would be hilarious.

[–] frankenswine@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

seems to werk! nice!

[–] urheber@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 2 months ago

You're right

[–] christov@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

I absolutely love this. 13/10 no notes

[–] LePoisson@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

This makes me an irrational level of angry just looking at it.

What sort of crime have you committed here, surely there's got to be someway to jail you for this travesty /s

[–] neineon77@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 2 months ago

I love this so much

[–] shoki@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

the "ROFLCOPTER" on the spacebar

[–] urheber@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 2 months ago

No way you can read that!

[–] toynbee@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I once bought a crossover cable. It was thick and yellow.

Now every time I see a yellow Ethernet cable I think it must be a crossover cable and think of how generally useless mine was.

Hopefully your yellow cable is more productive than mine was.

[–] urheber@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 2 months ago

My yellow cable is beautiful !

I'm sorry yours wasn't as effective

[–] angrystego@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

Now this is cyberpunk if I ever saw one! Beautiful

Of course it's debian

[–] shai_hulud@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

Initially, I thought this was someone's workstation on the ISS and shit was just floating around.

Admittedly, my glasses prescription is four years out of date.

[–] Steamymoomilk@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 months ago

Nice keyboard! The computer is rather stylish aswell :P

[–] oftheair@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 2 months ago

This has big SOMA or Prey energy.
