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

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

[–] wilder@lemmy.blahaj.zone 23 points 1 month 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 20 points 1 month ago

That fits, I'm in highschool!

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 10 points 1 month ago

Thanks :3

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

[–] abbiistabbii@lemmy.blahaj.zone 15 points 1 month 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 1 month 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 4 weeks 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.

This picture smells like dried Mountain Dew

[–] cupcakezealot@piefed.blahaj.zone 11 points 1 month 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 1 month ago

I don't remember :3

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

[–] mogoh@lemmy.ml 11 points 1 month ago

Scheiße geparkt. Tja.

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

[–] urheber@discuss.tchncs.de 8 points 1 month 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 1 month 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 1 month 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 1 month ago

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

[–] LePoisson@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month 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

[–] christov@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

I absolutely love this. 13/10 no notes

You're right

[–] toynbee@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month 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 5 points 1 month ago

My yellow cable is beautiful !

I'm sorry yours wasn't as effective

[–] neineon77@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 1 month ago

I love this so much

[–] angrystego@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

Now this is cyberpunk if I ever saw one! Beautiful

Of course it's debian

[–] Steamymoomilk@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 month ago

Nice keyboard! The computer is rather stylish aswell :P

This has big SOMA or Prey energy.

[–] shai_hulud@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month 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.

Fan those feet! 🌈
