It’s a precaution. If you were to damage the exposed battery it could cause it to heat up and probably catch fire.
You do no want a lithium battery fire in your house.
If you’re going to do it make sure you have enough time to do it all in one go so you don’t have to leave the back off.
It’s not a long task, I think setting the blank drive up afterwards took longer than the actual drive swap
Yes, well worth it.
I see all the important tips in the comments apart from doing it with a discharged battery.
I had no issues when I did mine.
I used to take the order for food deliveries They had usually mis-dialed so I’d never hear from them again. I’d offer extras too just to jazz it up a bit
I think they taunt you by shitting in your flowerbeds while you’re not looking.
Thanks for these posts, as others have said I took look forward to seeing them.
They’re a great read and serve as a useful reminder that there are other games apart from Factorio to play.
Bathroom DIY. New flooring. Finding it hard to motivate myself. Sunny outside right now…
I’ve had two Solo2s. One broke and I lost one on a night out (along with my phone)
Got a Solo3 replacement and now I use the bigger bowled stems which are just the best thing.
The Solo3 is better than the Solo2, but the price is much higher so I’m not sure it’s worth it (here in the UK you can get 2xSolo2 for the price of a Solo3.
Since I started vaping I hardly ever smoke (unless at a party somewhere)
Sometimes if the bombers failed to find a target or if the got damaged by anit-aurcraft fire they would fly home and rather than land with a load of unexploded bombs on board they would drop them elsewhere. Maybe a field, maybe the sea…
You’re all wrong, it’s clearly a Chinchilla
Have you heard that the over 50’s are doing day time raving. Back home by nine/ten to sleep.
But thed did have an escape in 2008, I think they stole a tool bag (one went missing, so it must have been the spiders) Escaped spiders
In the UK some shops would sell you a single cigarette for less the ten of our new pennies. Around '86 I think.
The moon is a harsh mistress.
The UV light box was a separate device and not part of the Z88 itself.
you’d put the EPROM devices in it and let them cook for 20 minutes or so to clean them of previous data written to them.
Yes, but only to test it was functional.
It was just so cool that it had this built in and I guess it could be used to write a bit of code that could run and do some processing in Z80 whilst other bits could be in BASIC which was easier to use.
This was in the summer of 1988 and the company was on the east side of Cambridge (UK). It was Clive Sinclair’s new outfit after he’d sold the previous stuff to Amstrad. I think the new company was called Cambridge Computer Ltd.
I just had a holiday job doing testing of the OS it ran.
I think it has three slots at the front that can take a memory expansion. The memory being an EEPROM, maybe as large as 128Kb. Erasing them was done using a UV lamp (in a box).
It was a good bit of kit, but the screen space was too small to be of much use and it was overrun by the PC explosion that was coming.
Fantastic bucket bong diagram.
I also remember using glass milk bottles. Drop a coin in and smash out the bottom.
Then heat two knives up 'till they’re glowing red and put a bit of hash on them and suck the smoke through the bottle.
Lots of coughing would begin…
