Slinky's ROCK! I personally love the old metal ones best, but the plastic ones are cheaper and if they do bend like the OP's, then you can just toss it out and get a new one.

To the OP: Have you tried heating up the plastic and putting it back into shape? Keep in mind I mean warm enough to make the plastic plyable not melting and burning. While not the safest option and not one I suggest doing, but an option none the less.

Put it in some really hot water for a minute or two, then take it out and push the rings together, so that it's in the form it should be in. Hold it like that until it cools, or put a book on top of it. It should be much better if not perfect now.

after i posted mine i read urz .. better idea than mine :)

lol that doesn't make sens at all :rofl:

idea is : it lost its elasticity , so because of the heat and the preasure over it it might go back to its original set . idea is use heat :) sorry u couldnt understand it and tried to make fun of it ...

Shhh.. just laugh and move on. Don't tell me you didn't notice I did that as a joke!!

you CAN indeed fix this kind of situation. Easy street for plastic version - preheat the oven at 250, then set the slinky on a tin foil lined cookie sheet. Let it sit for about 10 to 20 minutes, but kinda guage it. The slinky will set back into position.

For metal ones, it's a little more tricky, but totally fixable. I won't get into this though.

Too late, he already shot it and burried it.

    • Plans. Christ at least editorialise this tripe for what it is or put your own journalistic take on it.
    • If you have a TV in your living room, chances are you can probably just use the Steam Link app and play your huge PC in big picture mode, effectively giving you the Steam Machine experience to see if you'd actually like it. The good news is the Steam Machine can have it's drives upgraded. It has a USB-C 10Gbs port as well, so the 512GB drive could be quickly moved to an external enclosure and repurposed.
    • This machine could very well be a second gaming PC for their living room as a console experience. So we would have to assume their main PC exists as well; With that said, I have 10gb home network with a 2.5gigabit internet connection here so we tend to have more than enough speed to download games. However, we can't make use of the 10gb LAN using Steam's built in transfer tool because it always compresses transfers and that slows the transfer down to well below a standard gigabit port speeds, sometimes as slow as 200-300Mb/s transfers. While that's probably still faster than most internet connections anyway, if they'd fix the LAN transfer issue it'd be upto x5 faster even on a gigabit LAN, than simply dropping a 2.5gbe port on there with hopes of a few people having fast internet connections. There are solutions, work arounds, like using LANCache if you run a NAS... or simply copying the files over manually using a network share.
    • Samsung announces ultra-fast UFS 5.0 storage to supercharge mobile AI by Paul Hill Local AI models tend to run a lot more slowly than cloud services like Claude and Gemini; however, Samsung has just announced that it has developed its UFS 5.0 solution, which increases data transfer to speeds of 10.8GB/s, enabling faster storage and processing in mobile memory that has the potential to provide more optimal local AI experiences. Commenting on this development, Jangseok Choi, head of Memory Product Planning at Samsung Electronics, said: If you’ve tried local AI, you’ll know it can be quite slow, especially if using the larger parameter models. By developing this new solution, Samsung says that storage is evolving from just storing data to a core piece of infrastructure that supports AI computation, too. The Korean company said that UFS 5.0 integrates the latest embedded memory interface standard from JEDEC and achieves up to 10.8 gigabytes per second (GB/s) transfer speeds. Regarding write speeds, Samsung UFS 5.0 can reach 9.5 GB/s. Both the read and write speeds are twice as fast as those of the previous UFS 4.1 standard. Aside from being ideal for local AI, Samsung’s UFS 5.0 is more power efficient by 40% compared to UFS 4.1. Samsung achieved this by implementing innovations such as clock gating and multi-voltage technologies. UFS 5.0 is also ultra-compact at just 7.5mm x 13mm x 0.9mm; that is 16.7% smaller than UFS 4.1. The company said it will be bringing it to multiple devices in the future, including mobile, wearable, and extended reality.
