This Boox looks like a nice inbetweener, but the price makes it a commitment that needs more thought behind it

Went and picked up an immaculate one owner EVGA DG-87 case today. Came with original box, packaging materials and all accessories for $120.

That arrived yesterday. My current pair are over a year old and getting kinda worn out. We are required to wear safety shoes at the job due to someone at one of the other warehouses getting a foot injury. I guess my employer was not really up on its OSHA required safety training so they had to implement a new footwear policy. The good news is I got get $75 a year to buy new shoes.

New shoes I own the normal “sneaker cut” of this shoe but I want the ankle support of these.

[GamerDude]

Got some goodies incoming, portable speakers, a Keychron K2 v2, a wireless gaming mouse, a new laptop stand with dual fans, and a Galaxy Fold 4. Will post pics when they're here....quite excited about the Fold 4.

2-Way Coax Cable Splitter

for a omnidirectional ota antenna.

[GamerDude]

Here's what I've gotten to go with my leptop:

Keychron K2 v2 + Razer Basilisk X Hyperspeed combo for wireless gaming, the Keychron was fast enough that I don't notice any lag when I tried out UT3 (the fastest paced game I play)

 

My portable gaming setup:

Legion 5 Pro + aforementioned keyboard/mouse combo + Logitech MX Sound

 

Should I decide the Logitech MX Sound to be too bulky, I still have these USB powered badboys, I'd most likely leave the Pebble V3 in Toronto, the Edifier R19U in Thailand and keep the MX Sound at home:

Damn, you're like that suburban dad who only buys the same pair of white New Balance or white Nike's every year.

What did I buy (yesterday) ?

Replaced a broken servo motor that controls the hot/cold air mixture on my Porsche 964. 

The car was blowing hot air regardless of how I set the temperature on my CCU. 

 

@Derkoli Nice to see another Porsche enthusiast on LTT. 

 

The broken servo motor:

My car:

Burnt traces and contacts, old motor was probably pulling too many amps for a while. Neat to see it all apart!

They aren’t the same.

left to right.

First pair is a pair of merrel were the cheapest pair they sell. 
secound pair is Moab 2 because I discovered the first pair of merrel were so comfy that I wanted the mid tier.

the third was well I wanted ankle support /didn’t want rolled ankles

Preaching to the choir, son.  I've got like 6 pairs of Belleville's lined up on the other end of my room.

Second Lexar Play 1TB MicroSD Card, @AluminiumTechpurchased it for me on Prime day because it was limit one per Customer. This will be for my upcoming Steamdeck.

I got another one of the Best Multimedia Mouse on the Market: Logitech MX Master 3:

I got a second one because I wanna keep one in my school Backpack and one at home and so that I don't have to constantly take it out of the Backpack. Of course the new one is now for at home and the used and worn down one for in the Backpack.

 

Brother P-Touch E110: We use this Model and similar ones at work and boy are they ever reliable and easy to use. The first thing I'll use it for is to label my MicroSD Cards.

Of course Batteries are not included so Ima get the Energizer Recharge Extreme AAAs in the four pack, I already have the AAs and they have been great.

 

What I knew tho is that the tape included with the Label Maker is just a Sample one so I got this aswell to start off:

[Arika]

not exactly a """recent""" purchase, this was ordered about 9 months ago. Japan only just started shipping to Australia.

 

 

Playmat/mouse pad?

 

 

Tarot Cards, Signed postcard, stainless steel tumbler and coaster

 

 

 

and the 22 Tarot cards of the Major Arcana. Never touched any real tarot cards, but these feel high quality.

 

[Guest]

All them coolio RE games from Humble Bundle

 

[OU812]

No pic handy but some Galaxy Buds 2 in Phantom black, a WD Black 8tb HDD from Game Stop for $137, a Manna 4L vacuum insulated jug for my water at work and a Icy Dock hot swap bay for my 8tb hdd.

[8tg]

Nice nice nice 

kinda just to have one?

I’ll make a review when it arrives 

[Avocado Diaboli]

It just occurred to me that the stuff I got today is both geared to make a loud thing more quiet.

 

 

Despite what it looks like, it's actually a practice mute for my bass trombone. Works great, it massively mutes the volume and obviously has an impact on the sound characteristics without changing the feel of playing the instrument too much. It's also really small and light so it doesn't put the trombone off balance as much as the regular mutes I use during concerts. I hope I can get back into practicing more often thanks to it.

 

 

An attenuator for my guitar amps. Even my puny 15 W PRS amp is fiddly to adjust. Just a movement of a fraction of a millimeter on that master volume dial on the distortion channel makes it go from quiet to deafening on my 4x12 cabinet. Never mind the 100 W Dual Rectifier. So it was time to add a bit of a dummy load between the amp and speakers to give me more headroom on the dials. Works like a charm and is entirely passive. It even seems to use some of the power that comes in from the amp to power its cooling fan, which is nice. And as an added bonus I can use the included XLR out for direct injection into my audio interface, if I ever get tired of miking up my cab.

 

And the stack keeps growing.

Sony WF-1000XM4: I got these because my old WF-1000XM3's are currently not powering on nor charging so I have to RMA them and I figured why not upgrade to the new gen. I have warranty on the XM3's till November so if they're actually dead then I'm just gonna refund them and not replace them. If they're fixable then cool I'll have a backup pair, they lasted for almost 2 years so yeah. Hopefully the new ones will last longer...

 

But anyways onto the pictures:

Size S is the perfect fit for me as always:

Luckily I'm a fan of foam Eartips so I don't mind that they're only shipping 3 pairs but for other people not liking foam Eartips it'll be unfortunate. They shipped both foam and regular plastic Eartips with the XM3's and in way more sizes too so the downsizing here really wasn't necessary IMO. Other than that they're a huge improvement, really like the compactness. Good on them for removing the plastics in the packaging and settling for Recycled Material, tho not the best it is a step in the right direction.
