I'd say they're good and the bass is quite strong. Not bad for £60.

They're pretty cheap here in Aus & seem to get all round a solid review, and they look alright. Cheers!

In an effort to stop adding to the waste that is ruining environments, especially with batteries, this last year I've been trying to go green and opt in for rechargeable batteries, LED Lights and eco-friendly products.

 

The newest addition is Rechargeable AAA Batteries for my Fire TV Cube remote.

I got a 1L Lenovo, been playing with the i5 4570T. Neat little box, wish the msata port on the board was populated with a connector but at least the solder pads are there. With XTU I was able to get it to handle 40W to hold full turbo speeds on both cores under most loads no problem and overclocked the graphics by 200mhz as well with the raised power budget. I stuck some tiny heat sinks on the VRM chips to help them stay cool under the added load, I guess people put even hotter CPU's in these things but this is OK. I'll play with it for a while then do what I bought it for and gift it to a friend without a computer. For some stupid reason I find playing around with low power stuff more fun.

Looks like the direct equivalent to my HP EliteDesk 800 G1 DM, got one with a 4570T as my server and one with a 4590T as media player connected to my projector in my bedroom. Both with 256GB 2.5" SSDs, 8GB RAM and they have 2 m.2 slots, one for storage and one for WiFi. Added an AX200 WiFi card to the media player one. They're really convenient little low power things, and above all they were free, refurbished 6 of them for someone and got to keep 2.

Yeah, 4570T, Wifi slot but it's Lenovo whitelisted. I'm eyeballing some HP 800 G1's as well since they look like a superior product but sadly they're not free. I paid $90 for the Lenovo complete without wifi (this one wasn't built with Wifi) and then bought the correct top tier Intel Wifi card and both antenna for about $35. I'll look more into the HP 800 if it's got space for 2 HDD's and probably keep this one for myself, always need a spare PC to loan out in case someone needs it.

This drive gets macOS Big Sur.

 

ENLabs PCIe x1-x1 riser cable.

I found it interesting how they transmitted the data through the "USB" cable - on the end where it goes in your board, they added 5 more pins on the bottom of the Mini-B connector. Not sure if you can see it in this picture:

I would install them right now but I'm watching @Moonzy's stream (they are adding thermal pads to their Gigabyte 3090).

 

I have some school I need to finish anyway.

Got a DJI Mini 2 lightweight drone.  Can't wait for the weekend and hopefully the weather is good enough to get it outside for a while.  For now it's fly it around in the house with the prop guards on.

It isn't new, just starting the third season.

It is still my favourite purchase though.

Few days ago I bought steak, now I cooked it

$35 cut, look at them marbling -drools-

 

Resting steak

Pan fried with olive oil, two cloves of garlic, seasoned with salt and pepper, with generous amount of rosemary

A knob of butter for the caramelized nutty crunchy outer layer, and don't forget to render the fat down so it'll melt in your mouth

 

Slice it at an angle, I want it pink on the inside and I got it, yay

knife glides in like butter *-* I knew it's gonna be so tender

 

Presentation

Though I didn't make any side dish because... lazy lul

Taste so good, though

 

Rm10 a piece (can buy 3 loh mai gai per slice of beef, as someone will be calculating)
