Some years ago I bought on Ebay a pallet of desktops for £80 to practice to disassemble an reassembling them. In the end I made some money selling them and I am now confident in opening a computer to replace parts.

How much did you make Paulo

I don’t recall exactly, because on the time I got excited and bought some more computers that I found at good price in some job lots.
After not too much time after bought all of them and sold the first ones I realized the earnings don’t pay for the time spent, thus I gave up.
Anyway I recall that I was able to recover the invested money and I kept some computers, that I use now as stands for my two monitors and my wife two monitors, and still have some other computers pilling up across my home, just to piss-off my wife 
… she kept asking me when I am gonna sell them, and I say I will do it one day

Can relate to the desire of fixing stuff 
Got my current main machine as a student (old EliteBook 2570p) for ~100$ and fixed a touchpad for 5$. After 1.5 years accidentally broke the fan while cleaning, so also did a replacement.
Never used IFixit toolkits but have “xiaomi wiha 26 in 1”, which might be similar. Often switch drives using that screwdriver.
Experimenting with making hackitoshes and trying different Linux distros might also be a hobby? (used to do this when had more time ¯\_(ツ)_/¯)

I’m surprised it hasn’t been brought up yet, given how popular it has become: I’m bouldering.

Elaborate? What is? I’m curious as I’ve never heard the term before, lol.

I thought it was rock climbing? : /

It is yeah, it is a subset of rock climbing that focuses on doing short sequences of difficult moves on large boulders.

Interesting, what kind of moves does it focus on?

In rock climbing each movement has a degree of technical difficulty. There are a few different big classes of climbing that effects how climbs are graded: trad/traditional is long(ish) climbs where not falling to your death involves jamming tiny bits of metal in cracks and using them as an anchor point when you fall, sport where someone bolts anchor points into the rock and you clip into them as you go up and bouldering where the rocks aren’t that high and you can just place a mat to fall on to. In trad the grading for a climb combines technical difficulties of individual moves from one holding point to another combined with difficulty of placing safety mechanisms/danger of death. In sport the grading mechanism combines the technical difficulty of the hardest single move from point to point with some measure of endurance required to get to the top. In bouldering because the climbs are very short it is extremely focused on how difficult each movement up the rock actually is with rarely any other factors entering into the equation. There are multiple grading mechanisms for each style and some favour different things, this is just a rough idea of how many of them shape up. It is less about particular styles or types of moves required but more about the difficulty of each single progression along the climbing route and sometimes the risk involved, where long climbs factor the difficulty of doing many fairly hard moves, short climbs such as bouldering are usually a small number of typically difficult movements. Difficult in this case because they require a combination of strength, balance and flexibility, particularly finger and core strength with generally a high power to weight ratio on the body in general. It has been about 15 years since it was something I was big into, so I guess some things might have changed but this is the essence of it.
This is a reasonable example of bouldering (I watched without sound so no idea if anything offensive may be there) Off the Wagon 8B+, Val Bavona - YouTube … 8b+ is pretty difficult grade.
