I bought into the hype and got an MX Master 3S. I guess I see why it's so popular.

I still believe in you darling.  You've hit a snag..but go for it!!

So unfortunately the PSU on my dads computer died a few days ago. When I had built him a new one I didn't change the PSU in it (bad idea I know but it was just temporary anyways). So I bought him a new one and it came in today. Going to get it installed in the next few minutes and... and make sure that the old PSU didn't take anything with it... and... and cable... cable management.

The VESA (Video Electronics Standards Association) will now begin directing monitor manufacturers to label their products with a two-part system that will describe both 1)High-resolution, low frame-rate and 2)Lower-resolution, high frame-rate display modes. This change comes in the wake of modern displays supporting multiple display modes and will apparently help consumers choose screens that are capable of being used in both high-fidelity and action-packed scenarios.

It's good enough for me. I like good audio, but I'm no audiophile. My DT900 ProX sound great and no one has complained about the mic quality on discord yet 😄

First part of my mad microphone mounting system is here.

This puts a 1/4 thread on the hot shoe of my 100D that i use as a webcam.  Just waiting on the 3/8 down to 1/4 adapter to go in the bottom of my microphone mount now.
 
I got a question about the 1/4 hot shoe mount.  It's metal.  It should be ok in the 100D shouldn't it?

SSSTC sounds whack. Did Elon Musk buy them or something?

Summary
 The Plextor lineup of SSDs, which are formerly Lite-On now owned by Kioxia is being rebranded to SSSTC (Solid State Storage Technology Corporation). Kioxia seems to be moving out of the consumer market and towards the Datacenter and enterprise markets.

My thoughts
I don't believe this to be good a good rebrand for Kioxia. Nostalgia factor aside, Plextor doesn't  have much brand recongition nowdays. ( I personally don't know what much about Plextor). But it still has alot more brand recongition then the mouthful that is SSSTC.

Just bought this for only NHL, got a hockey craving. Last PC iteration was released in 2008.

Let me out I did NOT sign up for this

I’m almost done shitting up this thread with bike stuff
got my replacement tube, it now looks like a bike
all I need is a chain and it’s rideable, though I am still waiting on the better hope crankset and bottom bracket to replace the cheap stand in crankset 

 
got these granite juicy nipples as they are legitimately named, valve stem covers for presta valves


and got this PDW sparrow water bottle cage which looks neat imo, it’s a bird

 
also got these, a usb c charging brick for a cd player I ordered, and regular old EarPods, to have a sense of reference against my $1000 iems and $500 dac/amp

NH-D12L for my 4U rack case and a Focusrite Solo Gen4
 

 

Summary
 Norwegian consumer law,  as of the 1. of january 2024, has been updated. It now requires all new products that requires an app, or has built in software to have at least 5 years of updated software support. Norwegian consumer law has allways been strict, and every product sold in norway has a 2 or 5 year warenty. Where the 5 year warrenty covers things that is made to last. Consumer electronics (Phones, TV's, smart watches, appliances, ect.) is coverd by the latter 5 year warrenty that now also includes app support and software updates from the time of purchase.

This is a Norwegian article, and not the main focus of the story, but rater a summary of what is changing in the law. I have looked for other sources but can't seem to find any news sources that have piced up on this story.
 
My thoughts
 This is huge news. Norway is not really a big market, but still a big consumer of electronics. This newest law change sets huge pressure on manufacturers to keep old tech allive and not kill support if a product fails. This in theory also maens that if you buy for example an older phone it is not 5 years of software sopport from when the product is launced, but the way the law is worded it means it is 5 yeas of software support from the time of delivery/purchase. This means that stuff realistically needs at least 6-7 years of software support, as stores sell the same product over a 1-2 year period.
If the requrements are not met the manufacturer is legally required to fix or replace the product, and i dont think any manufacturer is ready to take the L on having to replace all of the products in a country, becase they did not want to do an extra software update. 
If anyone is wondering, it is really hard for manufacturers to get out of these cases. Personally i have had 2 panel replacements on my LG B9 OLED Tv becase of dead pixels, and i know that a lot of samsung fold owners get free scrren replacments when they start to crack from the folding of the screen. I have hight hopes that this can be pretty big for electronics being built to last.
