That was quite possibly the weirdest IT thing I've encountered over my ... well, two decades now, of computers

bacc to computer talk then

aw dood

Finally found a photo worthy spot

the weirdest thing that happened to me was the first time i built a pc

it had this fan that you had to reach back and push on a clip to remove it

i had a mobo that plainly refused to play ball with my gpu

one in three times comp failed to post

i was trying to get it out and my hand slipped and ran along the edge of the plastic fan casing

otherwise worked perfectly

oof

and i was like whatever

and kept working

A fan bit my finger like that once

eventually finished getting the fan out and threw a new one in cuz that one adnt worked, which is why i was changing it

nothing semed wrong

everyone i asked told me it was my psu

i booted the pc up and bam

it didnt boot

apparently i bled all over the mobo, didnt see, and my finger closed up with very very little blood

after getting a corsair AX 850 (which i'm still using today) i was overkill% sure it was NOT the psu

so i gave a computer water damage with my blood after the computer cut me

wow

Ok that's something.

that was the first time i was working with computer hardware

it was an old like 1998 pc ofc cuz it was in my classes

Thankfully I ever only damaged a PC because I was a retard and touched that poor innocent gpu while it was running and -bzzt- rip in pieces, year-old 550ti

I got a 750ti two years later and a gtx 1080 4 after that with the new pc

And that's enuff with upgrades until like 2025 <:smugon:512048583806025739>

closest to damaging me hardware like that i've did was killing a drive because i used ccleaner on 35pass deletion ALL the time like an absolute autist

ive been running a 1050ti the past two years still going strong

Oh yea, I've been doing that too

ohmygod why

what child porn do you have that a cleaning is EVER neccecary

all you need is 7 pass max

That drive was 15 years old the last time I used it (my first drive, mighty 60 GB) and it was still holding up great.

you dont need any passes if youre just deleting files
