Cobbles together old computers from e-waste bins, and is rather proud of them when they decide to work.

Answer to "Best SDD to Install for Photography" 03/29/2019
Hello! I suggest the Crucial MX500 Line of SATA drives. They're reliable, and Crucial is a big brand under Micron, an even bigger brand. If you really need, a 2TB SATA drive will be rather expensive because of storage density but will also be more than enough storage. You may also like the Samsung Pro line if money is no object, they've got incredibly fast drives. I suggest you keep the Hard Drive as an extra storage, and move all your information to the faster SSD by creating images of the partitions of the old hard drives through a tool like Macrium Reflect and imaging them onto the SSD. Then, you can do what @danj meant by “cleaning" the drive: wiping it clean of files, because they're on your SSD, which we'll be calling the “boot" drive from now on. Since the files are on your boot drive, you can now use the blank HDD, which is no longer the drive you're booting from, as extra storage. A convoluted way of saying that the SSD is now the master and the HDD is now the extra storage, while previously it...
Answer to "How to unbent the corner of the palm rest on the lenovo laptop?" 01/25/2019
Pictures comparing the sides of the laptop would be helpful. Alternatively, you can probably take it apart and bend the palmrests back into shape.
Answer to "Can I swap the r1 motherboard for the r3 motherboard?" 06/15/2018
No, the R3 has a different port layout and appears to have a different heatsink location. I've never personally owned both the R1 and R3, but Dell Forums suggests that there are a lot more incompatibilities than just the ports. I suggest the Eurocom Monster 1.0 if you're looking for a new 11" gaming computer, it has a lot of options, even server level processors with the i7-3 Extreme CPUs and up to 8TB storage, all packed into a sleeper netbook look that won't get your laptop stolen at a Starbucks. Besides that though, you're better off reselling for parts on eBay and buying something even newer than that.
Answer to "Glass only repair with dry ice" 05/17/2018
It appears as though a literal freezing machine like the one mentioned by the users above will do the trick. Dry Ice (solid CO2) doesn't appear to be cold enough.
Answer to "Why did my screen change color my pictures look like negatives now" 05/17/2018
You might have high contrast mode enabled. With all the different flavors of Android around, I can't help you specifically but you might want to look at Settings and see if High Contrast is on in Accessibility or Display. You haven't provided much information about what caused the issue or if you've tried to turn it off and back on again. Speaking of, try turning it off and back on again, along with the things I mentioned earlier.

MacBook Air 11" Mid 2012 Display Assembly Replacement 05/02/2016

So, I found this mac in an e-waste pile, and the display is broken. Handling 10.7 drivers, and I want to get the screen back... Although Macs are all about pretty (and I like pretty, too), if I'm not looking for pretty, and I can just put the screen on top of the broken one, can't I just unplug the data cable for the LCD, plug the new one back in and then do everything I need to do? Two screens isn't *half* as bad as one. I'm just asking to sum it up, remove data cable to screen one, attach it to another working screen, and bam? No? Yes? Plz, I really want to know. Alternatively, someone please write a guide on how to remotely make a monitor mirror a screen? That would be great! And thanks to the people that understood my subtle joke.
