What's that smell?

@beandev @catsalad every electric device can be a smoke dispenser.

Now I kinda want to see multiple of these all mounted on a desk labeled "Nvidia"
:P

@catsalad my first thought was, "Nooooooooooo!"
Then, my mind caught up with what I was seeing. That's pretty creative!

@catsalad That's honestly super cool, looking like a capacitor that's gone bad.

@catsalad @david_chisnall If only there was a RIFA edition.

@catsalad Your device's ghost being given up.

If it smells the same as 40-45 years ago you really don't want to know :)

@catsalad magic smoke incense. Don't worry about it.

Ugh. The smoke from blown electronics? Foul. 🤮

[nf6x@oldbytes.space]

@catsalad I love it! I'd personally like one that looks like a Rifa paper-dielectric cap, because those plague me more than venting electrolytics. Or I suppose a farting dog would be cool.

[realsiegfried@troet.cafe]

@catsalad For those who don't get the joke: this humidifier looks like a common electronic component. When a capacitor like this explodes or just leaks, the room stinks for two weeks like a fishing trawler.

[me@social.jlamothe.net]

@catsalad I didn't know this existed mere minutes ago, but now I need one.

[retrosponge@kind.social]

@catsalad That's awesome 😂
