My dad fixed printers, copiers and occasionally typewriters. While fixing a copier, he found out someone jammed the toner cartridge in *wrong*. When he tried to remove it, it exploded toner ALL over his workshop floor, just like that post. He was swearing so colourfully and like that pic floating around the net, he left an imprint on the floor. I laughed so hard.

4:56 My dad works at the US Attorney's Office as the System Manager, and they will shred the disks, shred iPhones, and any storage device when they finish using it. I saw a box of like 30-40 iPhone 6 before they were sent off to be shredded.
The only question I have. Why shred if you are living in US. 50 cal. delivers fun and destruction combined.

Thanks, EmKay! I now have the image of "a very enthusiastic sneeze in the general direction of whatever that carpet is" playing in my mind... Now I can't see anything, as the carpet has turned into a dust cloud!
**sneeze; dust goes flying** Sorry, sorry, I'm allergic to bullshit.
Glad to see EmKay not only showing memes but also educating the audience. We in the IT community need more people like you.
"either criminal misdeeds or department of defense files" listen, the Venn diagram between those two is closer to a circle than you want to believe
Wasn't even aware it was supposed to be a Venn diagram in the first place!
there is also law firm file cabinets full of files including, for some reason, digital copies (why in the file cabinet) in thrift stores
I had close to the same thought, but mine was "why not both?"

9:38 That's Medion, a German brand.
It's a brand sold in Germany, yes. However, rebranded lenovo is what it actually is.

9:47 for other reference, a Formula 1 car engine is capable of running up to 20,000 RPM (though the rules now limit them to only run 15,000 in competition), so that fan is about 2.5× faster than an F1 car

The best part about eating computer chips with dip is the crunch and the nice tingly after taste it leaves in your mouth🤤. Another notable mention is the internal bleeding it causes, yum yum 😋.
Gives it a great irony taste
@Ted Leather It's kinda to die for, isn't it?
@Ted Leather I'm not one for internal bleeding, so I enjoy my computer chips with a glass of battery acid to melt off the sharp edges... and also everything else.
Gotta get those super heated radioactive ones cauterize the internal bleeding and gives a u healthy dose of nuclear radiation

Fun fact: Emkay’s intro song is King Dice’s theme from Cuphead
We know buddy. It is awesome none the less. The title of the song is "All Bets Are Off", by Kristopher Maddigan. Great observation though! I think that game is a bit to easy tho
I knew this and love this little fact, it's a really good little tune too!
I know every time it starts I start singing iiiiiim mr king dice the most gamest in the land iiiiiiiii do not play nice I’m the devils right hand man.

Fun fact: the older gen nintendo DS can be broken in half at the hinge, and they will still work fine. I had a gen 1 DS that I busted on the hinges, and it worked fine for 12 years after.
Cell phones used to be the same way. Flip phones, even the side-flipping ones with full keyboards, would still work when broken in half at the hinge.
i really appreciate 5 secs ago when i didnt know that. Now I have to go get one and see if it works.
I think I remember that with my old one!
YOU WHAT ON THE HINGES????!
@@timmyfartdo Yeah, I got annoyed and tried snapping it in half, but stopped myself before I finished... I wrapped a bit of electrical tape around it worked fine. I couldn't fold the screen down, but it was otherwise fine.
14:56 pretty sure that one is actually a cake!! i remember hearing something about that. that would be why the keyboard is crumbly rather than... melted or normally destroyed

I repair game consoles for work. We've had some impressively nasty consoles over the years. There are a couple in particular that stand out as the worst though. The first was a literally roached out PS3. It was filled with dead roaches. The other was one that someone had setup next to their cat's litterbox. There was water damage from cat pee in the console. After those consoles, we implemented a new policy. If I need to shower and deep clean my workspace after working on your console, we charge double.
As you should.
I worked in rent-to-own. I once had a rented PC come back with not one but TWO dead mice inside. The ones with bugs were the tame ones.
@@Bacteriophagebs Yikes. That's nasty. Thankfully we've never had one come in with rodents in it.
Oh my god... I used to repair other student's PCs and one was full of dead mice and fapkins... I took the PC back to school and then slammed down the clear bag of mice and fapkins infront of him with the whole class looking...
Not only was I disgusted and embarrassed to have worked on it, I bet this boy was extremely embarrassed for being exposed in front of the class!
@@tsuyunobradley4439 Wow. That's disgusting.
Low-key am kind of ecstatic to see that Lexi is an IT person. I was ready to hyper analyze all of the reviews, but I was pleasantly surprised lol.

Having never actually worked in server management, despite being certified for it, that "server down" image will still haunt me in my dreams.
12:42 For those who don't know, that's called an Alphabetical Keyboard layout. It's not very common, but it's there for those who have never typed before, or at least don't have much experience with it. If this person had that particular keyboard layout installed in their OS settings, they can switch to it and get back to work until they can find the time to switch the keys back.
9:31 That would be Medion, a manufacturer who supplies the Aldi stores in Europe with computers and other electrical equipment
Isn‘t Medion just some Lenovo rebrand?
@ according to the wiki Medion started as a German company in 1982 and was bought by Lenovo in 2011 so I 'm not sure if I would call it a rebrand.
@@r.f.devries8073 I know. But some of their devices just seem to have some firmware customization and the Medion logo sticked on the back (not all).

"You're so lucky old processors didn't run that hot"
That looks like a NetBurst Celeron D, so it probably idled at like 167 degrees F lol.
2:43 this is like controlling a car with a nuclear power plant from what I can tell.
So a Ford Nucleon? Dear god
Hi Lexi, thanks for the video. A little something here: the laptop you couldn't identify with the pink screen of death is from Medion. It's a german computermaker which got known in the 2000s for beeing sold on the discounter ALDI and beeing surprisingly good for their price. One of my first stationary Rigs was one of those.
They had some desktops in Aldi in Ireland they had a full sized SCART output on the back.
2:07 Lexi failed to realise that there was a usb port
The best part of this sub is hearing Lexi have a breakdown over the horrors
Okay so, a job I had shortly out of high school with a small business that makes candy. They decided that they needed to move to a larger location to be able to efficiently produce candy and to be fair they were in the bottom floor of what was essentially a New York brownstone. As we were packing we found a desktop computer and I was the only one with any sort of computer knowledge so it became my job to get into the thing. So we plugged it in and tried to turn it on and nope no power, so I popped the case off the tower and, I kid you not there was two inches of corn starch and sugar dust caked on everything in the tower. Took it and the monitor across the street to an auto-body shop to use their air compressor to blow it out and when we did get it to boot up it smelt like a bakery.
The only computer that smells good when it thermal-throttles
9:34 The brand is called Medion (I know, kind of hard to see in this picture). Actually a fairly decent budget brand. Had one for years. But desktop, not laptop.
i have used only medion laptops would not recommend :( (made with an medion desktop en medion monitors)
More of this! I love Lexi's stories!
Also I wonder if I should post my laptop in there. It's working just fine, but it's kinda held together by tape
I love that lexi's take on just about any spinning media is "Yeah, that's the best thing you can do with it, it certainly won't hold your data."
8:50 you'd love my old garage laptop lmao. poor thing had scratches and dents, paint everywhere, and i'm pretty sure some of the keys contained more sawdust than the average rice crispie square
Gluing heat sinks used to be a thing. You could get thermal epoxy and stick that black-anodized pentium 1 sink right on there forever. In the 486-era heat sinks were barely necessary and thermal paste wasn't even used.
The fallen server reminded me of the scene from TNG "The Naked Now" when Data had to quickly put all the isolinear chips back in the engineering computer.
14:53 Thanos hated looking at this keyboard until he snapped

"I like computers with wear and tear"
My computer is being held together with two paper clips after melting on a heat lamp, being beaten for years, being ripped open at an airport, having everything on it expired except google, and the hard drive overflowing with empty or ancient files.
I can’t believe I just found this channel! Idk who the narrator is, but I could listen to them all day! New channel to binge!
I'm gonna be honest, the lack of subreddit intro and fan art has not improved the videos at all. EmKay industries is lucky to have narrators like Lexi to keep me coming back.
I'm sure its not permanent. Can't wait for it to be back.
Do we know why the intros and stuff stopped? I feel almost attacked at how the end of the videos are pretty much chopped short :(

@@minecraftyeli Well they hearted some guys comment on one of there newer videos saying "Intros and outros dont need to come back. Without them, it speeds up the video" im paraphrasing a bit. Take that for what you will
@@IronIsKing Thank you and f**k you for delivering those news.
I used to be briefly in computer tech so a lot of these were interesting. But most of my crazy stories came from being a phone tech.
My most favorite one was a guy called me on a business trip in Turkey when the worldwide Samsung Note 5 recalls came down And none of the airplanes would accept Note 5 on board. He called me here in the states and asked how was he supposed to get home without his phone. And I told him if the Turkish people wouldn't let them bring it on the plane, he would have to dump it (as they probably also wouldn't let him mail it either). But I had him follow up with me afterwards (to process the claim). And he told me he smuggled it past Turkish customs and the US customs back into the United states... Which that action is just normally reserved for highly illegal stuff, not cellphones, but Note 5 did tend to catch on fire. But for the guy to actually smuggle it past both Turkish customs and US customs to get it back into the states was interesting and wild 😜...
I worked in phone tech support, too, and yeah, some people would do _anything_ to not be without their phone.
Anything _except_ buy a backup phone, that is.
I lost count of the number of people who claimed their time was worth hundreds or thousands of dollars and if I didn't fix the phone (or the network) NOW, they would sue us for lost revenue. Like, if your time is that valuable, why don't you own multiple phones on different networks, just in case? You could obviously afford it...if you weren't lying.
The best was when I offered a woman 13 cents for the time that Blackberry's data was down. I did the math and the time the system was down on 30-dollar-per-month data plan was 12.5 cents, which I rounded up. She asked for a supervisor.
The supervisor offered her 12 cents because she rounded it down.
@@Bacteriophagebs lol
Nice but I thought Note 7 would blow up
@@plumjet0930 was it? Perhaps it was then. Tbh, I went too many rounds with phones to remember. I was there for nearly 7 years, and the amount of phone cycles were staggering to remember all the details. Would you like for me to correct it in my original post?

I honestly really want a video of Lexi telling stories about stuff like this
This is the fourth or fifth time I have listened to this video, and each time has brought me so much joy.
"Records of terrible terrible criminal misdeeds or Department of Defence information."
same thing
Lexi: "2000W, that'd probably pop a 15A breaker"
Me: Another reason to be glad I don't live in the US. On 230v it's only 8.something amps, which is plenty lower than the 13A most domestic outlets are rated for here.
Edit: Lexi, that laptop brand you weren't sure about was Medion.
i love listening to people that know about stuff seeing stuff all destroyed and explaining why it hurts their soul in terms i can understand
For those curious, Medion is Aldi's/Hofer's "computer brand". They sell several generation old hardware, act as if it is the latest and greatest at the best possible price. They're also extremely prone to hardware defects.
The moment I saw r/hardwaregore, I knew they were torturing Lexi, and it's hysterical!
14:56 Looks like someone poured acetone or probably a stronger solvent on the monitor and it just melted everything it touched. If it wasn't on purpose it might have been a particularly strong solvent to that type of plastic that someone splashed on their monitor planning to clean it. Just that splashing part sounds like a dumb idea, but so does using a random cleaning liquid on your monitor.
Looks less like acetone than actual acid, if it was acetone then there'd be the keyboard's circuit board visible
