hey wanna see something cursed http://www.bplus.com.tw/Adapter/PNF4GCB.html

@charlotte yeah. I was more confused by having the provision for 22110 in the first place.

@ewenmcneill @whitequark those are great! also every single one I've ever seen is broken.

[slyecho@mdon.ee]

@whitequark I actually don’t think it’s cursed at all, if you need it, then it’s very useful and also seems very adaptable for all kinds of situations

@slyecho cursed doesn't mean not useful

I had several of those chunky boys back in the day, donated from a company that bought in bulk and then made a wise decision to make them someone else's problem. I ran them in serial, meaning that when one died you swapped in the next.

Be sure to fasten those screws like your ISA connector and traces depend on it because there be some not so good vibes. Also multiple multiple copies of driver driver disks ...

Thanks for the URL, the Stop_Selling.png on two different places on the page looking as if it is a weird knock off of the Nintendo Seal of Approval is incredible!

As is this disclaimer: "This adapter is engineering test tools. NOT for home or office use."

I'm getting Canadian imported Camerica Game Genie feels from when Nintendo of America was suing Galoob. Surely, this device is useful to someone! I just, do not know whom, nor why Mario is invincible all the time anymore; that FDD 4pin power (5V &12V?! In 2026?! whoa!) connector, without an FDD controller, is really powerful I guess! ^_-

Alternate timeline theory: Bplus Technology Co., Ltd. is a distant relative of the HoneyBee adapter. (Image attached for reference)

@teajaygrey @whitequark babe wake up, new reaction image just dropped

[malwareminigun@infosec.exchange]

@whitequark what’s wrong with that?

[equinox@chaos.social]

@mxk @charlotte a lot of server/enterprise M.2 SSDs are 22110, I've handled a bunch. They're more likely to be installed as U.2, E1 or E3 nowadays though, for hot swap.

[mifune@mastodon.social]

@whitequark these are really useful, I’ve put a simpler one into an older server that didn’t have m.2 slots but plenty of pcie

[dramforever@mastodon.social]

@whitequark
right... if it's not a volume product it could very well be easier, cheaper even, to do all of them the same way. i thought these were everywhere - i guess the normal ones don't have breaking off parts...
