Got all the parts gathered and started to put together a pfsense router.

 

Should be a fun learning project. Time to cosplay as a sysadmin.

Just gone from 2 GB a month for 82 dollars to 10 GB a month for 75 dollars, and got a brand new phone as part of the deal. A Motorola One 5G Ace.

Picked up one of these second hand on eBay as it seems i've killed the only ITX AM4 motherboard I had.. Now to find a new PSU for the InWin Chopin after I killed that too..

Found a GBA at a garage sale for 5$, it was nasty and didn’t turn on, I took it all apart, cleaned it up, and it works like it’s new

That's a cool find, they are great little systems. I still have a standard Advance and a 101 SP, so I feel like I'm living under a rock just realizing Super Mario World was made for the system.

they were rereleases for the Gameboy Advance.  Nintendo did all of the older mario games for the advance in the end

Moar backup! 

Up to 118tb's of raw backup and 100tb's of raw storage.  

I just joined Data Hoarders Anonymous.  

Now time to start the excruciating process of transferring files and setting up backups all over again.

Oh my lord did they use a board with 20-pin ATX Power and IDE ports? How many of their viewers knew what those were lol. The one on the bottom erks me since the era of the other stuff would lead me to believe Floppy but it should have more pins than that. Looks like USB3.0 but surely can't be right.

I'd like to be where the bottle is as well, please and thank you.

the rear I/O by the looks of it consists of, from top to bottom: P/S2, LTP Printer/Parallel, a broken USB, an AT keyboard and a 3x1 Audio block.

I had an SP a couple of years ago but i sold it on.  It was ok and all but the problem i had was the bottom loading gamepaks.  Nearly everytime i's boot an old GB game up i'd end up 'jogging' the cart on my belly and crashing the damned thing.  Much happier with my GB Pocket

Bangle.js 2 smartwatch with transflective screen, finally something a little closer to the good old pebble. 

Managed to code a watchface in an hour (even though lots of copypasta involved...), so dev is clearly pretty easy

Dell Precision M6700. 

It was pretty cheap, only $250, for such a massive and imposing laptop. Really upgradable - 4 RAM slots, 3 slots for WLAN cards, 4 HDD bays, MXM GPU. Stuff you really wouldn't expect from a laptop.

Nothing spectacular, I saw that Spigen has the Tough Armor Tech for the Tab S5e. Needkess to say, I'd snagged it for my tablet, great protection and best of all, it doesn't seem to add much bulk to my tablet.

Canon 70-200 F4 IS, I am so pumped to use this.

[sub68]

2X32GB SD cards, sandisk makes very relible cards imo.

50 year old all mechanical phone.

 

 

 

 

 

Had forgotten the eternity it takes to dial a number on a rotary phone 

[IPD]

Does the phone system even work with pulse-dial anymore?

Nope, but I've got it hooked to an adapter that does support it and routes it through your cellphone via bluetooth as if it was a headset. Those were sold in the late 2000s so people could keep using their old phones...

Yup, seen that when it came out

His recording is actually my cell ringtone, I could make my own now, but his sounds better 

And I learned of the adapter I got in a recent LGR video:
