I remember long ago helping my dad try to replace a burned out bulb in the cluster of a '76 Ford Ranchero. We extracted the cluster, everything was ok.. went to remove that bulb... the entire back of the enclosure literally disintegrated. Like we broke the last chemical bond holding it all together

This is about the same process for removal of a Svartpilen/Vitpilen 701 gastank for servicing anything underneath.

45min or so, 25min spent trying to remember how it worked last time without breaking stuff, 15min of surgically yanking it all apart, 5min to drunkly put it back on/together.

Dang... old HDD has some corruption... just gonna ignore and move on unless an important file. The ancient music collection is still replicated across 4 devices... we're safe there xD

The wailing, screaming, and blood sacrifices begin soon.. the Old God must be ushered in appropriately.

Beginning backup to migrate to Old God.

Also starting to redesign my desk space, monitor scheme (counts n mounts), and I think its time for a new PC chair too (this one is over 20yrs old)

When I hear a modern truck idling, I hear the faint screams as minor oil starvation takes hold. I don't hear the exhaust anymore, just the sound of burning money.

When I just want to work and everyone's trying to get my attention...

No. Stop it. Figure it out on your own. When you fuck that up, I'll come help.

Apparently KTM endowed these with the ability to diagnose a corrected condition and turn off the CEL. Cool!

Context, they know that thermostat can't do anything but 100% duty cycle in whatever direction you set it...... Frankly, I think the controller at the heart of the unit is hosed, probably under a condesate pan or drain line, all corroded and gross.

Some monster in the office set the heater to 77 today...

This should be a fireable offense.

Simply turning on the heat in any capacity should be fireable.

The Old God has landed.

AMD Ryzen 9800 + 5070 TI + 64GB of ram + 4TB of M.2 storage.

Out going, The King, 9700k + 4070 + 32GB of ram + 500GB of M.2 + 2TB of spinning platters @ 7200rpms.

Finally, a totally new backbone and critical systems. No more patchwork, no more Intel, righting old wrongs.

Ryanair asked us to update their logo so it better incorporates their brand values. Michael O'Leary is on the phone going apeshit, no idea why.
