20000 forum users - Awesome Special Event!

:grin: :grin: :grin:

I think I’ve done it!

I’m going to wait though, and see if I can continue. I didn’t receive a badge yet…

EDIT: Every 2 likes I use, I have to wait an hour. Is that normal? Is that what is preventing me from getting the badge?

EDIT_2: Whoops, looks like I completely forgot that I already earned that! :rofl:

I don’t have a TI-Nspire.

have an HP Prime instead. The TI calculators is way too overpriced for what they have, and I don’t like TI actively limiting their calculators’ performance…

My classmates always calls it a TI though…

Bodge time again (at customers request)

Customer brings in a pc with an power issue, I plugged in the computer and there was a big bang and tripped the fuses for the whole workshop :rofl:

This thing uses a mini corsair sf600 psu (its tiny for a 600W psu), I can get a replacement but they are expensive

Customer asks if I can use a cheaper full size atx psu and at first I say its impossible as there is no way that it will fit in this case but the customer insists and as usual I say yeah I’ll see what I can do as I like a challenge :+1:

The corsair is only 125 mm x 63.5 mm x 100 mm
The atx psu is 150 mm x 85 mm x 140 mm

So much metal mangling, rivet removing and bodging later I manage to squeeze it in with just enough air flow around things, none of the screw holes align with this psu so cable ties had to be used !

Its in so tight that its not going anywhere and there is a short power extension from the psu to the other side of the case where the power cable is plugged so there is no issue of any movement from plugging in the power cable

This was a crazy one :rofl:

Thanks

My job is mostly repairing laptop motherboards but sometimes some unusual things come it for repair and I do honestly enjoy these challenges when they do as its nice to be creative and its also nice to have a customer that trusts you when you are attempting something crazy :smiley:

Most the time, I can repair my own PC. But the last time it died, I couldnt work out for the life of me what was wrong.

Ended up being the motherboard had died. My local repair guy (great business name, Whoops IT) was even confused how the motherboard had died lol. took him like 2 days to work it out too. Even then he only worked it out because basically everything else was working fine lol.

On older motherboards I find its usually bad capacitors or the chipset that has failed

On more recent motherboards I find its usually one of the mosfets or switching regulators that fail on one of the power rails

But not always…

Id just cleaned out the pc, so I think I’d probably damaged something by accident

Is it just me?

Here it says Solutions 72, no issue.

But if I open my profile page:

It says 3 solutions!

What even is this :rofl: :thinking:

That is really weird. I checked a bunch of users that are active here, every single in of them has the issue. Most people have 3-4 solutions marked on the summary page (Some users have been credited with solutions, but the stat does not appear on the page, and my stat page has the hight number I found, 35, the admin, who has more credited solutions then I do, has a lower number on his stats page)

8 Likes

All of my solutions have completely disappeared from my profile page.


But if you go to one directly, it still says it was a solution.
Edit: also, the profile page is affected regardless of if I’m logged in when I look at it or not.

That is strange :exploding_head:

So I decided to make a PHP-based search engine, with Search Console and Admin Console, because I was bored. Due to the forum rules, I can’t advertise the site. However, I would like to say that making a PHP-based search engine was easier than I thought it was.


Apparently, the Security System that all InfinityFree hosted domains use is considered Malicious to Padlet, because when I share my site on my Padlet it immediately gets removed for ā€œMalicious content, potentially Phishingā€. This was when I shared my main Jri Page (in my Bio) and my JriMail.


I agree! I don’t get it either, I’m see the same thing. :thinking:


Amazing name. I wonder if there is also a Dang It! IT out in the world.

Interesting! But I think both the ranking algorithm and the crawler is hard to make :rofl:

If you actually cared about forum rules then why you are advertising your jftp and jrimail things

Just kidding, of course, and I’m quite eager to see it :face_with_tongue:

Writing a WordPress theme turned out to be a kind of good investment

Totally unexpected backlinks!

If you look at all of the backlinks you will see that most of them have the ā€œTheme MinimalistFlexā€ anchor…

(I’m also quite surprised that there’s a site started in 2006 also using my theme…)

Is (for right now) based on when the domain is added. I plan on adding that later.

Is me. (Well, my search engine service doesn’t rely on whats on the site. It utilises keywords supplied by the user. I ā€œcrawlā€ the site to make sure nothing malicious is on them).

JFTP: I did break the rules there, but those JFTP sites were meant to help! (And I still broke the rules anyway :rofl:)
JriMail: While I have posted links and talked about it, I don’t think I directly advertised it on here (if you can prove me wrong, I would go nuts.)

But are you? :thinking:

Tap my profile bubble, click the link, then look on the page. It will stand out, one of the words is Free.

Quite surprising amount indeed.

If it’s good, it going to be used by many.

Theme’s so good, old sites are changing their themes.

Hold on…

If you consider saying the name of the thing advertising, why are you advertising your theme?

I’m just kidding, you weren’t really trying to advertise.

One of these days, I’ll set up a WordPress site and work on developing a universal JriMail login plugin. I don’t think it’s going to be soon though.

Well, the strikethrough has to serve a purpose, isn’t it :rofl:

I actually don’t think those are advertising, it’s just sharing fun projects we are working on recently :face_with_tongue:

Reading you 2 back and forward has made my day :slight_smile: Good laugh

On a serious note, that search engine sounds intresting.
