At 8 years old I was able to expertly dismantle many radios.

Was still a few years away from reassembly.

At 8 years I recycled filesystem directories. I didn't know you can create new folders, so when I needed one I grabbed a random one from C:\Windows, moved it to my desktop and deleted its contents.

That’s funny. When I was little I found “format” in my mp3 player’s settings. Thought it would customize the UI or something, but instead I ended up with no music for the rest of the road trip.

Makes total sense, it used to be called "Recycle Bin" after all!

Worked ok til it was a system dir and the system wouldn’t boot anymore? :)

I deleted the files from there to free up disk space

I was doing that at three or four and was reminded of it constantly for the next ten years or more. (I actually raised the subject on my mother's death bed.)

When I was a boy all we had were high-voltage vacuum tube electronics, it was fun.
