Hello there. Somehow, Star Wars memes have returned. It's not a trap, this is where the fun begins.

Other universes to visit:
Separatist systems:
Oh hey some real SW content for a change (perhaps):

Please do not post the "good friend" or similar copypasta

Our galactic citizens have requested more specific rules, so here are a few.
The general idea is, if you're looking here for rules, you're probably someone who doesn't need to have them spelled out. You're fine. But anyway:
-
This is a community for Star Wars memes. This means typically screenshots of Star Wars media with some text or context that's meant to be funny and/or thoughtful. All SW media is welcome: movies, games, comic books, fanart... Other kinds of content, like video links or meta memes (about this community, or Lemmy), are fine as well, just keep it on topic.
-
We are all friends here, and love (sometimes love to hate) Star Wars. Be nice to each other.
-
As fans of fictional media, we can be passionate. If you very strongly disagree with something or someone, take a deep breath before reacting. Anger leads to the dark side!
-
Everything in Star Wars has happened a long time ago, in a galaxy far away, and it's a rich universe of millions of words and millions of years of history. So current Earthly matters really shouldn't concern us here. In other words, leave politics, philosophies and convictions behind the door. This applies even if it's about something related to Star Wars.
-
Original content is preferred. Reposts are fine, just please limit to a maximum of 3 per day, per citizen. It is recommended, but not required, to mark original memes as (OC) and reposts as (repost).
-
Local mods are the Jedi council. They may take actions that are necessary to maintain peace and stability of the Republic, even beyond the rules outlined here. Follow their guidance.
-
Regular rules of the Lemmy.world instance apply.

I'd say assembling a functional PC from dumpster parts is far far far far far easier than even building a bookshelf from raw lumber. Computer parts are designed to go together (excepting Macintosh computers of course). You just have to wait for one that functions.
Who said it needed to be a nice bookshelf?
Red oak. Hand cut on an antique mitre box. Fuckin miserable lol. I'll build computers all day.
From well kept recycled parts which are labeled? Not much of a challenge.
From DUMPSTER parts? I'd say that's more impressive, as you need the knowledge and tools to know what works and what doesn't.
Yeah, sure, given a limitless timeframe, you can sit there until you get lucky enough for someone to drop a completely functioning but disassembled PC on your lap. But building one? You might need to clean parts, research what they are to get the proper drivers and OS even if you manage to find a set that actually fits together. Tracking down and fixing tiny shorts in circuits? That's not the same skills as putting together some Legos.
I've been in IT support in cities and schools and even when there's a massive pile of computers and hardware that are known to not be broken, it's sometimes a challenge.
You know how hard it is building a bookshelf? Take a piece of wood. Put book(s) on it. Now you've a bookshelf.
So many electronics are thrown out every day, that I'd wager you could find everything you need in just a day. The biggest issue is that they throw things in dumpsters, rather than gently putting them there, which tends to break electronics. But then again there's so much garbage you could probably find ten of every component and see what works
and things are usually thrown out cause they are new and work great
Do you want to build a computer or a brand new computer? And no, most PCs are not thrown away because all components inside stopped working. It's usually either because they're too slow for the user or just one component broke and the user was incapable of fixing the problem and opted to get a new faster machine instead.
gonna be in there trying to adjust pins or blown supplies for all eternity, attempting to cobble together a working machine out of mystery problems. people throw shit out because it is trash. not even taking into account the fact that computer parts arnt just plug and play on all boards.
My son is about Anakin's age from SW I. LOL, he's too uncoordinated to learn a box knife, let alone a power saw.
