Key fob was dying, only had 2025's laying around

Not sure if there are better prices around, but I felt this was pretty good. 

Report back when they arrive.  Lot of scam batteries on Amazon.  I always get them local from Menard's price seems similar $5 for a 4pk

Big box for school crap, Tech accessories box, Cable box, 2 Power strips, extension Power cord and Cable Clips.

And of course a Desk Fan because it's fucking hot.

1 out of 6 works perfectly fine. My car no longer tells me my Key fob battery is low, so that's good.

 

Also bought a new case for my S10+. the one I bought with the phone is clear plastic with a VERY slippery backside; it looked like a Nintendo Wii controller sleeve! . This one has a bit more texture to it. 

Spoiler

 

Downsides are the side buttons are much harder to locate now since thy're not raised or different widths from the body. The Bixby button is at least grooved so you know which button that is. Also the speaker hole at the top isnt as big as the one shown in the photo, making the sound most likely fire at an angle instead of directly outwards. Might file it back a bit or something, not sure yet.

I bought those very same batteries for my Fobs and Trijicon RMR, I've replaced the battery in both fobs and the RMR now with no issues to report.

I have that exact case although it's made for the Note8. It's great especially for protection. Saved my phone from a couple of careless moments and it's so chunky, the one time I accidentally dropped it on an escalator panel, it made a really loud thud that rippled through the room.

Flea market find: c2d, 2GB ram, 80GB hdd - 10 bucks

 

 

 

Also got the weirdest find in my flea market career. HTC 10 pre production model, with 0.799 software version. The initial retail software version was 1.21. It does not have the fingerprint sensor on the front. Works flawlessly after upgraded to the latest retail software.

Here is mine:

 

Bought it for my cisco rack

My inner Sheeple has taken the better of me so I sold my gaming laptop for this combo.

I know the feeling. 

 

I however didn't like iOS so I went with the desktop OS version

That's a fascinating watch -- electronic, but not quartz.  I can imagine people being curious about it whenever you wear it.

[D13H4RD]

Some of the stuff from my large order arrived 

 

And have to order something else...

The really interesting thing is how they use tuning forks in lieu of traditional balance wheels to produce the signal. Made for a very accurate as well as a very interesting time piece. Basically quartz before quartz. The seconds hand also sweeps and aside from the Japanese made spring drive watches, the Accutrons are the only ones that do it almost seamlessly. Even the most high end mechanical watches with high beat movements still tick if you look close.

 

 

Also if you bring them to your ear you can hear them humming!

 

 

Ended up grabbing one of these recently:

 

 

Took it for a swim and it survived too!

Ordered a new knife for opening packages and the like, it looks cool and was pretty cheap. I dont need anything more expensive than this since its illegal to carry a knife in public.

 

Should be here sometime next week

I think it's safe to say, I'm now dedicated to just buying records. And I got some shelves to display it all on rather than just using a record box.

MOAR RAM!
