Hot take: Do whatever you want to old shit if it means you'll use it. Unless it has archeological value (It's the only/last of its kind, undocumented hardware, etc) then I'd much rather see a "vintage" computer with yellowed plastic and a big hole drilled in the side for a battery pack running someone's automated garden watering system or home automation than a pristine system powered off in a private collection. Don't get too precious about these mass manufactured tools.

It's 2060, you've just won an ebay auction for a university's disused quantum computer. You're going to turn it into a statement chandelier for your game room.

My oxikit-style PSA oxygen concentrator is finished, and it looks appropriately serious. I'll start writing up part 2 of the blog post soon, and then when I finish my torch manifold, I'll be making a video for the YouTube channel.

The biggest problem with instructing your users to periodically disassemble and clean their coffee grinder is that they will flood the forum with pictures of all the fun bits and bobs they find inside going, "IS THIS NORMAL?"

That sure seems like O2 to me

A piece of paper is rolled up and lit at one end. The smoldering paper is placed in a measuring cup. I plug in the O2 concentrator and then aim the outlet hose into the measuring cup. The smoldering paper burns brightly into white ash.

Back on my bullshit

White workbench with a vacuum apparatus connected to a small glass assembly. The glass assembly has protruding electrodes which are connected to a bench top power supply. Inside is a glowing filament surrounded by a spiral of wire.
A workspace comprising a white workbench full of vacuum equipment and a partially assembled glassblowing lathe.

Far SWVa, just barely visible green and pink glow on the northern horizon. No ribbons of light, nothing spectacular in person, but night mode on the phone captured these at about 130am

You should know that anything you tell me that you've "learned from an LLM" is instantly thrown on the trash pile of things you might as well have not said out loud for all the water it carries.
