By pouring water over a laptop that's been forgotten in a corner of the basement for 20 years?

Grass ,

Anyone know if this actually does anything to modern laptops? I can't think of a single computer I've used that didn't have drainage in the keyboard.

S3igHillalolp_78 OP ,

What? How old are you?

KISSmyOS ,

Do you exclusively use Thinkpads?

pineapplelover ,

I guess so. Macbooks brick if the air has too much moisture. This guy has never seen a MacBook then

Grass ,

I have a Thinkpad and some weird ass dell or something but IIRC they have some holes with a water drop shape embossed nearby. The rest are desktop keyboards.

mariusafa ,

What if i have a Thinkpad X220?

rmuk ,

Have you ever read that Wikipedia article, Timeline of the Far Future? "Median half-life of the ThinkPad X220" is listed between "The Sun reaches the top of the red-giant branch of the Hertzsprung–Russell diagram" and "the Moon spirals below Earth's Roche limit, breaking into a ring of debris".

my ThinkPad™ literally has gutters built into the keyboard to direct spilled liquids away from the circuitry. it also boots after i hit it with a hammer

SapphironZA ,

You know it comes with a power button that will also switch it on for you? /s

When people mention watercooling is this what they mean

You can tell it's an old stock photo by the ratio of the monitor.

I had better MS Paint skills with Windows XP on a Pentium 4 256MB RAM machine.

Fret not, dear User! For I as the IT admin will happily pour water directly into the parts that matter.

(un)fortunately, my thinkpad has a spillproof keyboard.

Just need a different liquid.

And a lighter

LoveSausage ,

Hey boss , I worked so fast the computer overheated. Let's call it a day shall we?

Bronco1676 ,

Probably not a valid excuse with M series macbooks :(

scytale ,

Kidding aside, the M series is incredible with how cool and queit it is. It’s a laptop you can actually put on your lap.

Bronco1676 ,

Yes it still gets warm fairly often for me, but not first degree burn warm

kautau ,

Yeah it’s pretty clear Apple took their knowledge of building mobile processors since the A6, which is really the first iPhone processor they made in house. Then they probably poached a bunch of people from intel or amd and grabbed a few of their PowerPC vets and here we are. Love or hate Apple, the M series is great for processor competition because it is a great processor line

Nothing an "accidental" fall can't solve

foggy ,

I'm just imagining having a bad day at work and then pushing my PC off my desk at noon on a Friday, calling IT and punching out.

I mean I am IT, but still.

BorgDrone ,

The world of networking is full of accidents waiting to happen.

turbowafflz ,

I bet it isn't hydrofluoric acid spill proof

Pour it on yourself and you'll never have to work another day in your life

TheAnonymouseJoker ,

I drink a cocktail of HCl, fentanyl and bleach everyday. Can personally confirm.

photonic_sorcerer ,

Please don't spill HF anywhere that isn't specifically designed for it.
