My friend's microphone's USB cable has been slowly deteriorating for years
A floppy disk that is actually just a whole bunch of SD (or microSD) cards wired together inside a plastic shell to make it identical to an actual floppy disk from the outside, which gets inserted into a FDD that is actually a specially shaped USB (or other protocol, depending on what enables the fastest speeds for the least complexity) port designed to read/write data from/to the floppySD.
I really love Immich, bringing back old memories day by day
This is the first 'server' from circa 2015, at first an ESXi host for various tinkering, nowadays in a better looking box running OpenMediaVault and the data backbone of the home infrastructure
What a journey

Found in the wild: "Acer laptop with minor signs of use"
My Anbernic wouldn't turn on, or charge. Opened her up to find this. She's dead Jim.
This controller was giving me problems immediately during gameplay. It’s a PowerA Xbox Controller from years ago, and after it failed big time on the input test, I had to do it.
It was very liberating to destroy this POS. I spiked it on the tile floor, breaking the left trigger, and then I disassembled it and broke the control board in half.
And yes, you have my permission to post this on r/hardwaregore.
