That looks expensive. Delicious but expensive.

Here's roughly a week's worth of sadness and ADHD-fueled impulse purchases in order. My bank account is in pain.

 

Elgato 4K60 Pro Mk.2. It took all of two days of having chroma subsampling on the HD60 Pro to get me to buy this.

Spoiler

 

2TB MX500, originally for my desktop but this ended up working out perfectly given what I bought literally four days later.

Spoiler

 

Apple TV 4K. Got this so I don't have to use the One X every time I want to watch Plex/Netflix/whatever on my TV (and also the Plex client is just soooooooooooooo good).

Spoiler

 

Acer Aspire 7 A715-72G. Ended up picking this up from a friend for a smoking deal and it is the new desktop replacement. Specs are obviously on my profile if you care.

Spoiler

 

240GB MP510. Got this because the stock drive in this laptop was only 120GB (though realistically space wasn't an issue) and it was a mediocre SATA M.2 drive to begin with.

Spoiler

 

Honorable mention: 32GB 3200MHz CL22 Crucial RAM for the laptop. Not actually a purchase (actually a combo birthday/Christmas present from my mom), but it had to happen. 8GB was torture.

When you buy it you're a weeb, when I buy it it's because I'm anthropologist focusing on Japan at the moment.   *puts on glasses*  I'm an otaku.   *flexes

Fair I was trying to make a joke but ok

Helped my dad pick out a gift for my brother during cybermonday.

 

 

He gifted these to me.   "Don't enjoy them until Jul."  Me, "So, I can open them I just can't enjoy them?   Okay!   Hey dad, the soundstage sux!   Worst gift ever!"

I literally ordered the LED tail light and turn signal bulbs for my one car from Japan for like $60 a pair because they were JDM only and so very much better than anything Philips USA offered or has offered. I could get them nowhere else. $30 of the $60 total was special shipping from Japan and they basically arrived in a glorified paper lunch bag.

Went shopping with the family yesterday and this is the food I got for myself:

Need this exact stuff for my gf's lappy.  She's on 8GB too and struggling to play Horizon: ZD

[WhitetailAni]

A friend gave me a MacBook A1534, currently installing Monterey as you see here.

Spoiler

I don't think I'll keep it as the single USB-C port will drive me insane, any ideas on what I should do with it?

[Kilrah]

I have one that was my laptop for a few years, changed back to a PC and debated selling it but in the end I kept it so I have a mac for when there's mac-only stuff I need to do, good decision since that happens once every couple of months.

These have a metal keyboard area and display lid which helps bring them up a lot. Keyboard is also pretty darn nice overall. Think my only major complaints are that Acer gorilla-gripped the screen bezel on it which causes some pressure points, and the cooling system is also a bit retarded.

Well worth it. Only downside to it is that the timings are pretty ass across the board. My laptop ends up running them at 2666 and even now they still run at CL19.

I still have a metal keyboard area but the cheap build of the bottom is gross on mine so..

Hey a z&hegrhghv

Get a USB C hub with useful stuff, like USB A and charging pass through, card reader, etc. They're handy to have for phones and tablets too.

Out of curiosity, does yours do the same nonsense where temps really aren't that unreasonable but the fans just rip and tear at the slightest hint of a temp increase? This little spike to about 60-65 was enough to get my fans to start going turbo mode. I've also noticed that even when you're just dicking around doing nothing intensive, the fans take a LONG time to reach their absolute minimum idle if you just had it slammed with a load. IF they even decide to go back down to idle in the first place.

I haven't noticed, but I know at 100% load it's like at 60ish C and the fans are hauling.

[Bitter]

My old ass Dell acts like that too, fans are off till about 50C then low speed till about 65-70C then turbo basically the next 20 minutes no matter the temp now. I just don't care anymore lol, dust it once a year and Yolo. That fan can suck on my blankets, thigh, couch, whatever.

I finally got CP2077.. A little late to the party, but it was on sale, along with ARK which I have been wanting to check out lately.

 

I also got some fun gun stuff.. No real need for the 80% frame but it was 80% off so I couldn't pass on it.. The Holosun red-dot is near bomb-proof and its  for my daily carry so it will be a nice upgrade to my compact, which will now more closely match my full-size that is a Glock 19 with a Delta-point Pro. 

[Bitter]

Used JBL Flip 4 so my gf doesn't get a god awful Alexa. I don't need an eaves dropper in the house.

[tankyx]

Bought a SK Henyx 1Tb SSD for my GF laptop, she has a 5.4k rpm HDD and it is slow AF.

 

For myself, a MBP M1 14 inches

[FloRolf]

i have to confess that i have a very nasty side...

 

Spoiler

Bought a DS920+ to replace my DS220J as a Backup NAS of my actual NAS that you can see in the background there as well. 

It's very overkill but the 220J unfortunately doesn't offer all the functionality that i need.

 

DS220J will be put to good use though as it will be my parents first NAS, so i got them a couple 4TB drives for it.

We will actually utilize Synologys Hyperbackup to synchronize the two devices over the internet, giving each of us

always up to date offsite backups.

Up until now we used to exchange external harddrives every month or so, which is not really convenient.
