The PC we made in school

It was 10 years ago, so I don't have any pictures as they were taken on the Nokia Brick, but I'll tell you about a PC both ADHD and autistic students helped make, even though we were grouped autistic or ADHD.

The IT teacher found an old Miele vacuum cleaner from the 80s with the shit brown colour. The requirement was it had to look as original as possible, and given it was a school project, it was of course low grade hardware, not a fancy gaming PC. The hose hole, that was air in fan, the lid to change the bag had a disc drive attached, the original power cable pull system was still in place and still functional, the HDD was lodged next to the power cable, I think something else too. The on light for the vacuum clear became the "thinking" light, and all the connections was on the side facing the wall.

It was a pretty awesome project, and I was the one who came up with the air in placement idea. As it was old hardware, I would say Windows XP area, it had to run Linux as Windows was too heavy for it, and at the finished product showcasing, it could barely open a program on Linux, but it could, and you couldn't tell it wasn't a PC from the outside.

I miss that school.

Round about is stupid and dangerous

How do I make a comment as a mod team and not yourself?

I know how to set a mod label on my own comments, but I've seen some places provide a custom mod team message. I'm pretty sure it's custom as it's directed directly towards that specific post.

This is a question both for desktop and Android

MCOC violation?

There's a sub I already know violated MCOC by making a pinned post against monetary gain from another user, and have filed a report for that, but I later saw the mods have their OF listed in the About this sub, and it's not a brand sub. Is this another violation, promoting your own income in that section?

The issue is our country is too fucking old [to have universal healthcare]. European countries are almost all pretty new

People here seem to not understand the age of the constitution/law doesn't equal the age of the country.
