3D printed RX100 VII case
Recycled some foam and hardware I already had lying around

Too good to be true. Got this set up for $450. RX100 VII
New to Sony cameras and wanted something pocketable for my upcoming trip and managed to get this mint condition rx100 m7 and accessories for $450 on offer up. Met with a Really great guy who was really knowledgeable and even took the time to show me around the camera before buying. It came with a small rig grip, 4 batteries, Sony shooting grip and of course the mint rx100 with a chipped acrylic glass screen protector being the biggest flaw.
Edit - since there is a lot of concern to the camera being stolen and possibly unknown damage here are some commonly answered questions as to why I'm not concerned with this purchase
Most likely not stolen, checked with local PD serial number is not registered stolen. He also gave me his legit phone number Gave me his number with the instructions if I have any issues please reach out to him or with questions. If stolen nobody would do that.
Camera quality - as another person said, there is no way to check total shutter counts but this camera is mint externally, and functions as expected with no signs of wear. (Tested about 100 photos and a couple max quality 4k videos)
Why would he sell it so low - as stated in the post it was posted on offer up and not Facebook marketplace, I occasionally check offerup for 1 reason, it's a dead app, hardly anyone uses it any more, so people post things, it sits for a while and they may get more discouraged to sell at top dollar
Reputable seller - along with the high 5 star offerup profile, he was a photographer who to my knowledge came from a family of photographers he brought his dad with him which is unlikely thing to do if scamming someone and he and his dad spent a long Time just talking to me about their love for photography and cameras, his dad even pulled up his private cloud to show me his photos he took that had some dating back to the 70s.
I totally get being skeptical, I know I am, but you can genuinely just luck out and meet good people. I have with my daily driver truck and other things here and there using second hand market place apps

I cannot find one easily.

Raspberry pi 5 open media vault Nas help? Or alternatives?
So far I have run into some annoying issues. I am running Raspberry Pi OS Lite, and once I install OpenMediaVault, Ethernet does not work right away out of the box like it does on Raspberry Pi OS. Because of that, I have to connect a keyboard and monitor so I can run the OMV first aid tool and manually configure the network settings. I cannot SSH into it since there is no internet connection.
After I disconnect anything I used, like the keyboard or screen, it forgets all the Ethernet settings I just changed. It will not reconnect to the internet unless I plug everything back in exactly as it was when I saved the settings.
After accepting that situation, even though I would prefer not to, I kept a keyboard and monitor connected. Then the Pi password suddenly changed on its own. The password I had been using for the past three hours no longer works.
I did a clean reinstall of the SD card with Raspberry Pi OS and set everything up again, but this time the password does not work on first boot onto OMV (worked in pi os).
I really want OpenMediaVault to work, but I am also open to more stable alternatives. Any ideas?

Psxmemcard gen 2 endless dead ends, please help
I’ve been troubleshooting this for 3 days straight.
I can get all my games to show up in OPL, and on the very first launch everything actually worked, games opened and played fine.
My current (unconfirmed) theory is that every time OPL launches, it creates save data folders in Memory Card > PS2, and that somehow causes instability over time.
Now, games rarely launch at all. Most freeze, fail to open, or become unstable.
Things I’ve already tried:
Swapping to a different memory card
Restoring the original factory files from the 8GB card
Restoring the file setup that originally worked
Deleting the PS2 save data folders
Reformatting the card
Testing NHDDL and Neutrino (games showed up, but never launched)
Trying both old and new naming formats in OPL Manager
Using a different “MMCE compatible” OPL version
•Updating and downgrading the firmware version
•using a dedicated slot 2 memory card (it still automatically creates the memory card save at game launch)
At this point I’m out of ideas. Has anyone run into this before or found a fix?

At a loss replaced with a known good laser had issues on both, replaced ribbon cable, opened and greased all gears, inspected for damage (there is none on the gears) console boots fine but has this, after I swapped the laser it opened once fine then went back to this. Any ideas?

As simple as it sounds, stupidly unplugged the laser while it was powered on doing a laser swap and killed the console, it powers on. Resets but has no video or audio and the disc tray does not open. I've swapped the power supply and tested all fuses and they're good, any idea where this failure point is?

I was getting tons of visual interference due to all the electronics on my desk/power supplies mounted underneath, There were no shielded RCA to PS MULTI AV out I could find online except for component and I didn't have a component CRT so unwilling to compromise I made this shielded adapter so i could plug another set of shielded cables. Completely eliminated all the interference! And yes I did move the tv away from the PC but it still was bad prior to this adapter lol
