So I've got this fun luggable that I picked up this weekend.
-
so @Lapsus figured out what heatsink this is. It's an actual product that was sold, not their custom thing (though the fan mount IS custom, they made their own aluminum bracket for it)
It's a Swiftech MCX478-V (or very similar, since that one is designed for a Pentium 4, and this is a Intel Core (non-duo)

fun fact about this heatsink:
They did not, in fact, drill the screw holes at an angle. That was too hard, so they drilled them vertically, and just bent the screws.

oh god the church has a link to their sharepoint instance.
I was a bit iffy when my local church introduced powerpoint in the early 2000s, I think this fancy produced video stuff is extra bad, but Sharepoint? That's one of the layers of hell! It's in the bible*!
* it's not. I checked.

I WAS gonna email the church and tell them "hey I have 122 livestreams of yours from 2019 to 2020, do you want any of these back?" but no, now that I realize they are CORRUPTED BY THE WORLD I will simply erase all their lost data.
You had one chance, Bay Area Fancy Church. You lost it when I saw "Sharepoint"

@foone are they screws proper? at least from one photo angle it looks like it's not a thread but just ridges.

@crowbriarhexe to paraphrase XKCD, if your processor has any rate of fission about 0%, you will not go to Windows today.

@violator I think you're right, it's just ribbed for her pleasure, not actually screws

OKAY. Machine is torn all too pieces, it's dusty as hell, and the display is broken. The hard drive works (at the moment) but if I'm not putting this thing back together, I don't really need the contents for drivers and such. So I think I'm done here for today.
Thank you for visiting my fun story of a luggable that was used by NetApp and a Specific Bay Area Church, and neither of them understood the risk of throwing away hard drives.

if I ever become a security tech/researcher, which I hope never happens, 90% of what I'll be doing is yelling at organizations that COMPUTERS (AND OTHER THINGS) HAVE HARD DRIVES IN THEM! THEY STORE DATA! THEY KEEP STORING DATA EVEN AFTER YOU PUT THE COMPUTER INTO A TRASH CAN!

@foone
For heaven's sake, for what do they use PowerPoint and SharePoint in a church? -
@paoloredaelli PowerPoint for lyrics and announcements on the projector.
No idea what they use sharepoint for, though
-
@foone are you sure this is mb and not GB. Just asking because of multiple live-streams and 500mb not being very large.
-
@lewiscowles1986 whoops. Thanks for pointing out that typo
-
@foone don't buy in that's how they got everyone. First with communist Jesus then hardcore religiofascists

@ppxl it's too late, I'm already a pope

@foone I bought an Osborne 1 luggage from ebay many years ago. There was a floppy disc in the drive. The computer had apparently been owned by a senior police officer working in south Wales. A text file on the floppy was headed "confidential informants" listed the names and contact details of multiple people, with notes.

@geoffl good lord

@foone tell me this is a prototype, please
