ITT: Small achievements you're proud of

>kitchen drawers keep rattling
>one day the front face of the draw completely falls off
>screws have bitten into the wood too much and shredded it
>end up purchasing new screws and fittings
>take the draw apart and reassemble it with new fittings
>lubircate the rails and wheels because why not
>put it back in the shelf
>drawer works better than it ever did and is smooth and silent

My fridge door (there's a cupboard door attached to the fridge door itself) also came loose and fell off, I bought a right-angle screwdriver to fix it so that's my next project

>I made the wifi work on my laptop running Linux
Felt like a fucking champion that day

Funny, the exact opposite happened to me just a couple a weeks ago.

> PC runs great
> See that my MB manufacturer released a beta bios for my MB
> Flash it because yolo

Congrats man, it's always nice when you solve something that's been bugging you for a while.

I managed to get absolutely smashed on Saturday during the day. I usually find it very difficult to drink more than a cider or two (Sertraline tones my drinking down significantly), but I just found out some shitty news and I managed to drink most of a bottle of vodka and get ridiculously rekt, so at least I now I know I can still drink a ton, even if I need a trigger for it.

just reflash the old bios
my motherboard came with Q-flash which makes the process very easy, i was very nervous doing it knowing that a random powercut or loose cable or something at any time could brick my whole PC but in the end it's very straightforward.

>i like to watch movies on the projector a lot, it's a mini projector that sits on a bookshelf facing a blank wall
>usually the process of hooking everything up takes ages and is very annoying
>have to plug in a laptop to the projector via hdmi with a mini-hdmi adapter on one end and a mini-dp adapter on the other since thats the only combination that works
>also have to separately connect a 3.5mm audio cable because for some reason sound gets lost on the way
>projector also has to be connected to power, laptop connected to power, and projector has to be adjusted and positioned and calibrated each time because it gets moved from all this cable plugging
>tried using built-in wireless casting but thats even more finicky and sound always seems to come out of the wrong device, not to mention our wifi isn't great and there's frame-stuttering and audio desync at anything higher than 1024x768
>decide to sort it out once and for all
>order a 10m HDMI cable online
>route the cable round the back of the bookshelf, around the edge of the room and into my PC
>can now set everything up in two button presses on the projector remote and can control things with a wireless keyboard from the table
>movie night is now a 1-minute setup rather than 15
>movies play in 1080p with smooth framerates and audio is always synced
>never have to touch the projector now because it's already plugged in and ready to go so never need to recalibrate it

i tried to get into linux but all the problems of setting up drivers for everything and getting internet working and getting all the repos just felt like way too much effort to be worth it.

i tried mint with cinnamon DE, i guess it's not the most noob-friendly. maybe i'll just try again with ubuntu next time i have some spare time and learn it from there.
