IrishMASMSOk, I spent yesterday afternoon trying to get <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/RAID" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#RAID</a> configured on my <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/lenovo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#lenovo</a> <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/ThinkPad" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ThinkPad</a> <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/P70" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#P70</a> - to no success.

Ari [APz] SovijärviWilliams' Pinball 2000 platform (1998-1999) is a curious beast. Unlike virtually anything else, its playfield is intended to be easily separated from the cabinet. The original design idea was that you could have a spare playfield, which you repair and clean at the privacy of your company's service depot, then load the clean playfields into a van and swap them out on location. I recall the sales pitch was that you can completely replace the playfield under 5 minutes.The cabinets were supposed to have generic art, so you could not just swap the playfield for a similar one, you could put another game's playfield in and then just reflash the software and change the backglass to reflect the game change. This'd save from moving the cabinets around needlessly.Here's how it looks when the playfield is put back into the game, it was out for repairs when the lock diverter's rivets failed. It also got cleaned.<a href="https://mstdn.games/tags/pinball" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#pinball</a> <a href="https://mstdn.games/tags/arcade" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#arcade</a> <a href="https://mstdn.games/tags/retrotech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#retrotech</a> <a href="https://mstdn.games/tags/repair" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#repair</a> <a href="https://mstdn.games/tags/mildlyinteresting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#mildlyinteresting</a>
