It’s like the universal shorthand for profile picture

Not to mention the shorthand for over a hundred other things. Would it have killed you to have spelled it out?

Bought a j-fashion/visual kei skirt from Japan. Can't wait for it to get here. Hoping it fits and looks good. Never wore a skirt before, so it might be somewhat awkward.

I kinda broke my Galaxy S6 (replaced the battery and still fight with its recalibration). Discharges to ~50% and then drops to 4% in an instant.

 

Hence, it was time for a replacement. Coincidentally, there's currently a personal device leasing program at my work, so I  got myself a Huawei P20 Pro for ~14€ a month / 360€ + an additional 50-60€ if I want to keep it in. I'd usually never get myself a >600€ phone but stick arount 300 - 400 bucks, but this worked out quite nicely  

 

 

Edit: just realised I posted the wrong picture / phone  /Fixed

The starry-eyed bling bling kid in me reared its ugly head, I went out and got some RGB fans and a LED strip....the 4 RGB fan kit comes with a remote controller and a hub to connect and synchronize up to 8 fans and 3 RGB strips.

Those fans and LED strip sure as heck brighten up my case, thus bringing meaning to my otherwise drab existence.

Now, on to the big purchase, ordered a Samsung 49" super ultra wide monitor (32:9) while I was at the tech mall buying those fans. Was told delivery was set for tomorrow, but when I got home, they called me to say that they'd be delivering the monitor today instead....pleasantly surprising me. The View 31 box you see there was a purchase I'd made a couple of days back.

A shot of the monitor in action, please pardon the untidy desk, I wasn't prepared for them to come today....I'd run Metro 2033 Redux just to highlight how wide it is. I'd had Freesync enabled on both the monitor and my cards' setting, framerate's lock at 144fps (max ingame, SSAA at 0.2x, no PhysX)

@GamerDude it's so... Big. You need a bigger desk lol

You know though, that SSAA at 0.2 actually makes the resolution just 1/5th of the actual monitors resolution? 

The resolution of the thing isn't even high to begin with but I know you have nice hardware so you should be turning ssaa to 1.

 

But daaaamn that thing is wide. Makes my 34" look small.

The latest thing I purchased was a box of 12 old, dead NVIDIA graphics cards that I'll try to fix up just for fun (they were only $25). Though those will not get here for a while (pic from ebay listing). So the last thing I bought that I actually have here is a (sold as) broken PowerColor R9 280X ($20) that I also got working again and that's now inside my deep learning rig.
