My strange computer set-up

[Rosie Willowwater]

So... this is a bit of an odd one.

I had these two Samsung Galaxy phones thrown away in the back of my desktop drawer and, since I had deemed them both as "not working", I hadn't really paid any attention to them... until this very afternoon, when I decided to try my luck with them once more.

The white one (Galaxy Young 2) didn't even acknowledge charging, whilst the black one (model unknown) simply refused to turn on, despite it having a full battery... so I went full MacGyver on them and switched parts around, resulting in a quaint (yet hardly ideal) mini set-up, which requires me to charge my battery on the black phone and use it on the white one. It's really not very handy, but dang it! I love it precisely because of that.

No devise will be discarded under my watch :r

I will always be impressed by your insistence to never give up on a device .

What is your favorite "wrong" way you have used a device?

Well, this all started when I had to hook up a malfunctioning mouse on a malfunctioning tablet, resulting on a jittery mess that would just rebel against every instruction given to it... so, probably that one XD

It sounds interesting. Mice are generally not very tame.

[Matthias720]

At least it wasn't a trackball mouse.

What? Is my 90's showing?

[Verdauga]

Wait, the mouse with a little ball in it?
The kind I'm using right now?

[Matthias720]

O_O

[shisteer of nothing much]

What's wrong with a trackball mouse?

[Verdauga]

The trackball can get gunked up and... not function. It also isn't as sensitive as a laser mouse.

[shisteer of nothing much]

Oh. Fair enough. I've never had or used a trackball mouse.
