CIPWTTKT&GC v 0x18 (v24): Warship finds something edition - Hardware & Software

[QUOTE=Warship;39830711]Nope, it's been there for a while. But I just noticed there's a scratch on the aluminium case the same spot the screen has it. So when the laptop is closed, they line up. So I guess some small crumb or something did it :\[/QUOTE] Anyway, any tips for something like... dumpster diving?

Well, just keep an eye out, really. And if you're going somewhere and you pass an open spot where people from apartments throw stuff out, don't be afraid to see if there's anything cool.

I don't really know how you could give tips for that.

Oh, and I've also gotten stuff from friends and the like just by asking. So if you know someone that has something that's just collecting dust, ask them if they'd like to give it to you. [editline]7th March 2013[/editline] Pretty obvious, but I've heard about people thinking it's rude or something to ask for things :v:

And if you're going somewhere and you pass an open spot where people from apartments throw stuff out, don't be afraid to see if there's anything cool.[/QUOTE] Well, there's a shopping center near me which has a computer shop. They have a dumpster behind them, but one side is "locked" (bent piece of metal or something like that) and the other side has only plastic/packaging paper in it.

Companies usually sell their old electronics to recycle places...

Asking is how i got my flowerpot imac. [editline]7th March 2013[/editline] Hell, with shops, just ask if they have any computer bits they are throwing out. Say you're training to be a tech and want some practise. [editline]7th March 2013[/editline] Usually they would be more than happy to because they usually pay people to take the stuff.

[QUOTE=Warship;39830773]Companies usually sell their old electronics to recycle places...[/QUOTE] Well, we have Electronics recycling bins in our school, so I grabbed some from it. [t]http://puu.sh/2dzAd[/t] Tape player is working, Sony Ericson phone is working too, I have no way to try that Motorola out and the last one seems to be a Nokia 2700 phone, working too, it had screen broken, so I tried my old (half broken) out, and yeah... It was working and had stuff on it too. Those bins are currently half empty and I can't grab anything from it because it's not full yet and it's a pretty big trash bin.

Nice find, I think that Walkman there was one of the better ones. The only problem with the Walkman phones was that the FUCKING RETARDS that designed it went "DERPF WELL IT'S A MUSIC PHONE, BUT NAAAH WE DON'T NEED A 3.5MM HEADPHONE JACK C:"

And have it use the same port as charger, so you can't charge your phone and listen to music at the same time!"

[QUOTE=Amiga OS;39830935]I had the L7, the next model up with a micro-SD slot [img]http://www.priceinpkr.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/614336.jpg[/img] Its a shame the OS was cripplingly slow, its even worse than Lagdroid in that regard. It also had no 3.5mm jack, I had to have a huge mini-USB adaptor cable.[/QUOTE] I wish I had battery for that phone, because W300i (Walkman phone) still had contacts, multimedia and messages on it.

[QUOTE=Amiga OS;39830989]Did you save the contacts to the SIM? I always made a habit of doing that before I let my Google Account sync all my contacts.[/QUOTE] Well, it had no SIM, since I found it in that bin, and they just didn't care to delete stuff from it. The only broken thing on it is the speaker, it's too quiet.

i once found a smashed sony ericsson phone

I found Mead. Ok, a stall selling Mead, but still. That and i found out that the school got some 5 Ghz AP's to fiddle around with in later courses, which will be neat

[QUOTE=CoalTen;39824029]This page has been about the same for the past few layout updates, it's what I use [url]http://www.youtube.com/my_subscriptions?feature=mhsn[/url][/QUOTE] !!! thanks a ton, this is SO much better than youtube's current thing
