I got this locally but it is available in Aliexpress. It is also available in amazon.ca.

Only thing that doesn't allow me to do this is my mom.

I moved out 10 years ago but I still store part of my stuff in my parents basement, so even my parents don't stop me. Would be stupid too, my dad's worse :D.

Another year on my personal email-address/domain.

Out of curiosity, what service do you use for it? For a while I've been thinking of getting a personal domain

Another impulse purchase, and conveniently enough this one also stemmed from an Xbox. In this case, I started realizing my One X was louder than it should've been and ended up copping a 20 gram tube of MX-5 since my NT-H1 kinda sucks. Xbox is much quieter and my 1050Ti dropped 10C (though we'll see if that's still the case in about a month and a half, since the NT-H1 would always start hitting the low to mid 80s in that amount of time).

Yo, let me scan that real quick.

Galaxy Watch4 Classic.  Initial impressions: Much lighter than the original galaxy watch.  Interface is snapper too.  Charging cable is too short, the older style charger was perfect. Need more time with it.

Isn't that the one they tested on LTT and was pretty crappy?

[CT854]

Not for me, but was immediately sent off to a Discord friend for a reasonable price.

I’m not too concerned with if it’s any decent, I just want to run as many weird systems as possible.

The final piece of the Xbox 360 puzzle has arrived. Now I just need to get a day off and hope that I can nag my dad into spending less than 5 minutes removing the solder ball that grounds the laser assembly so I can finally throw everything all together.

Specialized Turbo Vado 4.0 in size L:

I needed something more proper than my Xiaomi Mi Pro Electric Scooter to drive to and from work. This will also be great for Winter when the streets are full of snow because with normal muscle power on my Mountainbike (which is also from Specialized) it is a big pain to keep a steady speed especially when going up hill. My parents bought me this Bike of course. There are 3 Modes: Eco: 15km/h, Speed: 25km/h and Turbo: 30km/h. Since I already am 18 years old I luckily don't need a license, just always wear a Helmet and I'm good. I opted for an integrated Frame Lock to be able to lock up the rear tire

Bought a Sony UBP-X700 to go with my new soundbar, installed my good old Fostex HPA4 so I can enjoy music with my cans.....fortunately, I'd kept most of long cables that came with my cans.

 

Since I love my new soundbar, I decided to grab a few UHD/FHD Br's to watch (with much improved sound over my old LG soundbar). Just got these delivered this morning...oh yeah, The Swordsman (Korean period action drama) is for my friend. It should not be mistaken for 'Swordsman' which was a Hong Kong period action drama.

What a rip-off. Even a core 2 duo will crush the APU on that motherboard

Definitely not. What makes you even think that?

Sorry, I researched about it and that doesn't seem to be the case but still $160 is very high for a Chinese motherboard that probably wont last more than 6 months.

A new pair of Arc’teryx shorts. A bit pricey, but they are stylish, easy to climb with them and I don’t have to empty pockets while wearing harness.

Not true but also not the point. This is such a weirdly unique piece of hardware that I’m mostly buying one just to have one.

Im not really concerned about value, 160$ isn’t a lot of money.

Not only did I buy an album on floppy disk:

but I also got an album on gameboy advance

 

step up, Spotify losers

1500va/1500watt Pure Sine Wave UPS for the new build.  

Took it apart and getting ready for a few new coats of Satin White.  

 

Also my stands which aren't new but have been tweaked by adding a length of pipe to extend the height.  Thank you for friends with tig welders.  A few coats of flat black Plasti-dip make them look brand new.

Ok, I take my statement back

Got a great deal on these two for my upcoming hardline build.
