Drills and taps two holes, adds a metal strap, and sacrifices a tool to save a 5 minute fix of jumping over the contact with a 2" piece of wire lmfao

I work on industrial controls. Very likely that the switch is momentary, meaning it’ll go back when released.
Sometimes there’s a little piece of plastic in them to remove the momentary setting, but this works too lol. Fuck it, it’s maintenance.
Wow Linux 12 lookin sooo much better than Windows 12
Well remember when that Arch update broke grub?
I couldn’t boot into my PC at all. And for whatever reason, the fix they posted on the Arch wiki wasn’t working for me.
I deleted my bootloader in a live ISO environment and installed a different one (rEFInd). It was actually very easy.
Having the flexibility and power to do whatever you want to your system is truly something I deeply appreciate with Linux.
I got some massive 48U rack off Craigslist for like $50 and then cut it in half with an angle grinder, got some steel and screwed it all together to keep it stable. It ain’t pretty but the Frankenstein monster vibe adds to its character.
And I’m using the other half for audio equipment down the line so it all worked out
“documenting the change” is a pipe dream.
If you’ve ever worked in maintenance, active production, etc, you’ll be lucky to even have schematics. And trust me, there are a lot of hacks of people fucking with controls for 30+ years straight that soooo much of it is full of “fixes” like this, whether it’s something pushing a button in, or pieces of metal instead of fuses, or wires jumping over what’s “in the way” like whole safety systems and e-stops, contactors forced to run, etc etc etc.
