Comment on Switch 2 Teardown: Still Glued, Still Soldered, Still Drifting
sorghum@sh.itjust.works 2 weeks agoMy wife’s car? Replaced a few parts over the decade we’ve owned it.
My old truck? Replaced several major parts over the 2 decades I owned it.
Computers? Most of my parts replaced are upgrades, but I’ve replaced a laptop keyboard, a cpu heatsink fan, a power supply, a case, two hard drives, and a dial up modem from a lightning strike all on PCs I’ve personally owned over the course of 30 years that I can remember. I also did warranty repair work for Dell, HP, and Lenovo/IBM in my time as a tech. So many laptop and desktop mainboards…
Don’t sell yourself short. Fixing up a tractor that was free only costs you the time and parts you invested into it. You saved something from being junked and having to buy a working tractor. That alone is worth the endeavor.

Oh yeah no selling myself short I’ve been bragging about the tractor non stop in real life. Huge deal saved tons of money. And it’s an antique John Deere so it’s really cool. I shared the story so that people here would realize I was being sincere.
