Stay away from Maytag as well. We had to have our Microwave repaired 3 times under warranty. And when the warranty expired, we replaced it with a cheap Microwave from a yard sale. Our Maytag dish waster was a pile of turds as well, my mom had the old one out in the shed and they are looking to repair the old one because the Maytag one is that bad. The only Maytag appliances we haven't had issues with yet are the Fridge and Stove. 

 

The repair guy outright told us that the issue with the Microwave would happen over and over again.

Keep in mind that brands are not universally good or bad, as their quality can vary with different appliances...although Samsung tends to be bad universally.

 

Since we're on the topic, here's something I watched recently.  Enjoy!

Worse.  Appliance guys will tell you they are a PITA on repairs, things breaking.  Repair guys are who I'd ask first about reliability.

Yeah, we had a Samsung fridge (it was a housewarming present) and it lasted about two years before dying.  To repair it they were going to have to cut metal tubing, replace some stuff and weld everything back together.  We said "nah" and got rid of it.

 

Oh, and this dishwasher is a replacement for a 23 year old Bosch.

NAS expansion.  Up to 130tbs in my media server. 

5 new Ironwolfs to replace the Toshiba's I bought that had multiple hours on them.

And 3D printed a holder for the multi charger

Several expensive toys... sold some stuff, upgrades, etc. Here are some pics and got two even larger music related toys incoming. Purchase season again, lucky me sorta.

One more, rocked this out today. Used a handful of times down a store, that's all. New, CBA to demo even thought I have the same Studio 192 interface as the dude in the video... so I'm just posting somebody else's demo. Clean tone is also just as amazing... got another one that's tubeless OTW.

Got my "new" 3070 today. It's a touch longer than my 1070.. Still fits perfectly in my case thank god. Also the previous owner forgot to take off one of the plastic peels. So I got to do that!

I had an EVGA card of a somewhat similar form, an older ACX 3 or however it was called... it was kinda beasty. Had many sensors all across the board for temp readings in PrecisionX.

You might wanna retire that 7600k btw.

End of my packages here, for now... it's pretty nice but for guitar, clean tones are kinda better than distorted clearly. I'd say, bit more of a hi-fi power amp than a guitar one, still a measty power though:

An extremely expensive CD

Trading in my 13PM for a 14 pro. I missed one handed use without clawing.

2x Aukey Omnia Mix 3. One is to replace the Xtorm 30W USB Charger Hub at my Nightstand so that I can Charge my Steamdeck aswell there since it at least needs 45W of Charging capability. I only need a single USB C cable on my Nightstand anyway. And the other is to replace the shitty Xtorm 65W Brick with the single USB C out at my Desk. I actually had two of the Xtorm 65W Bricks and the other one literally fell apart when I once unplugged from the Wall Outlet due to poor Built Quality, luckily I didn't touch anything on the Inside lol. Yep, never buying from Xtorm ever again.

Artigo A1200, 1ghz Via Eden X2 and Chrome 9 graphics

it’s an extremely well built machine, the whole thing is made of machined aluminum 

the Heatsink even is complete overkill for what’s in here but it’s also bonded to the bottom chassis which is also a massive slab of metal

takes ddr3 sodimms and 2.5” sata drives, currently has 2gb + 32gb, I’m gonna upgrade it to 4gb and a 500gb ssd at some point

it works, gonna get another keyboard and mouse because I forgot I don’t own multiple keyboards and mice anymore, probably install windows 7 or Linux on it

Lubuntu would probably run pretty slick on that hardware.
