  • We’re on holiday in Thailand and we visited the old king’s summer palace. Our guide told us a super sad story:

    Apparently there was an accident long ago involving the queen and her baby daughter when the boat they were on, sank on the palace lake.

    Even though there were lots of people around who were able to help, no-one could save them because nobody was allowed to touch the royals.

    The queen and baby daughter drowned with everybody watching powerlessly.

    Heartbreaking stuff man. Needed a moment to process that…


  • Laptop repair guy here! This problem is common in consumer grade laptops. As far as I am concerned, it’s purposefully weakly designed, because these break a LOT.

    Not the hinge is broken, but the mounting points for the screws that keep the hinge in place. Sometimes it breaks on the bottom case, sometimes it breaks on the screen side.

    We fix these issues regularly with epoxy (and massive skillz, lol). With most hinges, you can adjust the force a little lighter to relieve the pressure on the mounting points. That way it doesn’t fail again, after repair.
