My room is a mess right now. It's not usually this bad - I've pulled out a shelving unit which needed me to put that stuff somewhere but sheesh.
A large pile of stuff covers the floor. The desks have no room either. Boxes upon boxes, tech upon tech.

Picture of a TV programme showing a fireman attending to someone in a car crash. The back of their high-vis has 2601 written on it.

In Les Miserables, Jean Valjean's prisoner number is 24601.

Anyone up for some analogue horror?
A very poor image of the PS1 boot screen being displayed on a Dell U2711 monitor. The background is black, there is a smattering of white lines and dots on the very left hand side (presumably what's left of the background), the SCE logo is just a red diamond and the "Sony Computer Entertainment" workmarks are reduced to blue dots. The whole image is extremely warped, the SCE logo for instance looks like it has been pulled left and right with some sort of paint tool.The same again but the image has rolled down the screen. The Sony wordmark is now completely illegible and the SCE diamond has started turning green. It's barely even diamond shaped at this point.Same again but now the image is just a random assortment of light grey dots all over the screen. There is nothing else left.

TONIGHT I go on a train A help point needs its own help And I get robbed of FIVE FUCKING POUNDS for a bacon roll
A photo of the inside of a very old DLR train, looking at the doors.A very sorry looking help point in St Pancras International. A normal help point has been covered up with something that I think originally said "help point not in use" but this has been ripped open from the centre. Someone has then decided to hack a hole in the middle of it and put a normal fire call point button in. There's a black frame around it suggesting it used to have a cover over the call button. The whole ensemble is sun faded.Me holding an M&S bacon roll. Per the description:

"Ciabatta roll filled with Apple wood smoked bacon and butter".

It is absolutely delicious but £5 is taking the piss.

gave my Dacia its first charge under my ownership on Monday 🥹 total cost was £12.50!
My Dacia Spring connected to a Tesla Supercharger.Picture of the Tesla supercharger screen. It's at 22%, charging at 37kW, at 60p/kWh. Bear in mind I've only just hooked it up here so it was probably due another 3kW or so of charging current.My Dacia app showing my car at 26%, stating it will take 55 minutes to fully charge.

It charged to 80% in under 30 minutes.

An email from Creative showcasing the Sound Blaster AE-X. In the image where the card is alone, it looks normal. But above it, it shows someone holding it in front of their PC and the card looks longer than the motherboard and looks like it would never fit.

my only complaint about backblaze is how unbelievably slow the backup procedure is i have 100mbit/s up, i'm not asking you to saturate it the whole time, but it'd be swell if you went faster than less than a fucking megabit per second
