just so im not only on here boosting, here's a quick update on garbage dump pc:
i took apart the aio cooler to drain and clean it before refilling through what i hope will serve as a fill / bleed port. there was a good amount of gunk in the coolant.
here's the cooling plate fins after a fair amount of brushing, solvent, and ultrasonic cleaning. i can get at it with a really fine pick, but will probably give it a soak and more ultrasonic instead #repair #dumpsterdiving

💥 Ah, the riveting tale of #ERROR_ARENA_TRASHED, a saga so legendary that not even #Microsoft could make it more boring if they tried! 🤦♂️ Who knew that dumpster diving through Microsoft's archaic error codes could be this thrilling? 🗑️ Spoiler alert: it wasn't.

Ah, the cutting-edge #innovation of 2023: a "collection" of obsolete plastic rectangles with magnetic strips! 🎉 Because nothing screams "progress" like hoarding audio relics from random dumpsters. Truly, the future of #technology is upon us... if you live in the 1980s. 📼😂

Is there a map for dumpster diving that is not focused on food?
Like we had a good spot for getting metal drums near @munichmakerlab unitl a few months ago.
All maps and wikis I found thus far focus on food 🤔#dumpsterdiving #recycling #retootwelcome #circularity #schrottis

Went out this morning to buy a few parts to finish my rain gutter install, and ended up with most of Santa's workshop. (Price: free) #projects #dumpsterdiving

Got a new challenge from a friend. A dumpster dived 386sx SBC. No idea if I will be able to make it in a working system.

Okay, definitely stripping this for parts. $30 thrift store sticker on it, I think these folks bought it and it didn't work. If nothing else, a couple of fans for SDR cooling. #dumpsterdiving #xbox #electronics

(This hammer was in a big trash bin at my neighbor's. Her kids were cleaning out the garage, and they tossed the hammer because of the broken handle. I, of course, retrieved it when she asked me to help level out the bin to close the lid) #dumpsterdiving

Look what I found in the dumpster today! A rackmounted #Apple Xserve! I belive it's Intel based. Seems to run fine, but I need to find some adapter to connect it to a monitor/serial console. Those must have been ridiculously expensive at the time. #dumpsterdiving

People throw away SO much stuff! This is what we found in the backyard only this year. Some more people here that find and fix stuff? Collab video with my son that made the thumbnail and cut the video! https://youtu.be/aJwSF9ltPT0 #DIY #electronics #dumpsterdiving #reuse

@crk5 Thank you for sharing this! I've added alt text to this, it pains me to see media just being thrown away instead of preserved and archived.

"'January is my favorite time to go dumpster diving,' she said. 'It’s the time when the stores are throwing out all the Christmas stuff and gearing up for spring. But I usually find all kinds of treasures, seven days a week.'
(. . .)
Sorting through broken glass, gooey paint and spilled lotion and makeup is worth it, she said, noting that she once found a dozen pairs of Air Jordans, which normally sell for about $146 a pair. She estimated that she’s found more than $20,000 in after-Christmas merchandise since she started dumpster diving two years ago."
