Those only open via vasistas, you can’t swing around a 4m window lol.
Yeah. Didn’t think too hard about it, just threw something where tilt and turn wouldn’t work. It late over here 😅. still. I’ve made some doors that were too heavy For the tilt and turn hinges we normally use. Mostly due to weird glass pane requirements and sizes.
Mine are aluminum frame, steel reinforcements, PVC is only the external layer:
That’s similar to what’s used over here. But iirc the aluminium is not in the ones I’ve seen only PVC and steel Reinforcements. Could be wrong though. I’m quite sure is the same company though. That profile looks very similar.

PVC tends to be lighter than the thermal isolated aluminum we usually use. At least the stuff we have over here. (I work with steel and aluminum though. Never dealt extensively with PVC since it requires specific equipment).
Usually the problematic ones are the long “strip windows” (80cmx3 to 4 m) that some places use especially with argon filled glass panes (thick, layered double panes. With argon filling for emissivity. It may be what you have as well). But for them the style in the picture is usually set aside for a vasistas style closure. Which has an extra support for the panel. Paired with a pull string opening mechanism. I don’t know what’s the genetic name.

I’m not sure how windows are installed elsewhere. But here usually you have a good wall thickness. It’s not uncommon to have aluminum/ steel shutters that swing outwards. For privacy. some form of screen for bugs. And then on the inside casement windows that swing on the inside. Either the normal kind or the tilt and turn style shown in the post (I think that’s how it’s said in English).
In this case it’s shutters with adjustable slats to let more or less light in. A steel “grating” (not sure how it’s called in English) for safety and a twin casement window.

Coming from someone that builds them. At least where I live the mechanism is proprietary so it may not exist for every extrusion profile. Plus for big enough doors/windows the hinges to bear the load either don’t exist or get expensive quick.

Tbf it’s more of a europea thing. I’m Italian and I’ve installed hundreds of these.
Also… Assuming Liftup windows actually exist in America and aren’t just a myth. You.should be able to do something similar by jamming something in the window rail.
Standard swing windows though… Pray.

Small remider than when injected, serotonin basically overdrives pain receptors. That’s why it’s in there. It won’t make you happy. It will make you feel even more in hell. (I know it’s a joke. But come on i couldn’t resist)

In the end i managed by adding two fans under the desk. And wiring them through a switch to one of the free MOLEX. Now it never goes over 77°C. Even at full tilt

The wiggle room on the actual pins saved you :-). I’m frankly surprised lenovo didn’t change pinouts between versions. They are more than capable of that.
It’s a thinkcentre right?

It’s literally a cpu connector. If you can solder you can jerry rig a new cable. Hell. i made a whole wire loom out of one of those sata ports.

Ah. The memories of being a wee kid and heating them up. And touching the red hot element. I think that’s one of those experiences that everyone that has been near them as a kid has had.

Don’t give me ideas… I love spicy stuff, and it has been a pretty good deterrent in of itself from having my foodstuffs stolen. So two birds with one stone…

I remember solving something similar using an opaque bottle with “GI supplements, don’t drink” written in sharpie. Especially since the first time it was actually true and they didn’t believe the warning.

My microwave is so old the hum of the transformer is louder than the worn out bell that signals when it’s done. Eventually i’ll pillage the transformer out of another one to keep it going. I refuse to lose the mechanical dials that are on it.

Basically that phone was a continuous hand me down. My dad, a construction worker, bought it for himself, hence the cement mixer. Then, he managed to get a phone plan with insurance, so if it broke at work he wouldn’t have to pay for another phone. And the s5 got handed over to my mom. Where the pasta sauce happened.
Last. It got handed to me. A wee kid that was starting to dabble into the deeper side of IT. And thats were the rooting came from.
That phone is a trooper. And i genuinely miss when phones were not as fragile as tissue paper.

Galaxy s5. That phone fell twice in boiling pasta sauce, survived falling in a cement mixer. And managed to not get corrupted by 13 y.o. me rooting a phone for the fist time. No replacements parts other than a new battery. It still fucking runs.
