Nikon Df body coming this week from ebay. Been my first and only dream camera since I started 8 years ago. D610 is going to permanent 80-200 duty, while the Df probably will inherit all the primes and macro. A final sendoff in style for DSLRs, I guess, before mirrorless inevitably takes over.

D850 is my dream, which might come true due to the mentioned transition to mirrorless (and possible price drop for used ones, along with lenses).

What caliber? A .22 is a bit harder than a 155mm...

@tabascosauz I got me a OM-D EM-5 mk II. A bit small and my issue with mirrorless was battery life, so I bought a battery grip (2 batteries at once). Strongly recommend.

It takes my pictures as my phone camera focus went haywire if you were wondering why I am trying to break your eyeballs.

Lol I was just kidding.. at least they are bigger than my wifes hands..

And I was just kidding about the spidehands thing.. I didnt mean that in a bad way.. that camera looks big for my hands.. I can barely one hand my XS Max lol..

the other one just died within 2 yrs.

i've avoided razer mice since mine used to die really fast, and moved to logitech
Where i've had left click die really fast

When i run out of my pile of wireless logitech mice, i may have to move over to razer just so i can get more than two thumb buttons again...

tabascosauz · Jun 16, 2022

While we're at it furiously changing lenses, have the Df take the D610 and the D610 take the Df all with the same illustrious 105 2.8D

It sounds a bit weird but I need all those 19 buttons.
Is there any alternative to razer then?

after the highly praised M$ authentikator app has beaten me a snip, and has excluded me due to a missing backup, from 12 sites. i have now purchased this key FIDO2 in addition.
Do not touch this app, my recommendation. :banghead:

So what happens with the back cover?

ERazer · Jun 16, 2022

With absurd price of Raspberry Pi 4, I pulled the trigger and bought Dell Wyse 5070 Thin Client 8GB 32GB eMMC Celeron® J4105 1.5GHz on ebay for $80 to replace dead pi 3 as pi-hole/unbound.

It's imo also the worst Pi so far. It overheats, has some bullshit connectors that need adapters (miniHDMIs) for anyone to use and for something that was supposed to be cheap it just gradually became more and more expensive. A Pi that isn't gimped by lack of RAM for basic things is way too damn expensive. And to be fair their project is losing track. It used to be something more like better Arduino, that you can program and do more things, but now it's just essentially a cheap PC. I'm quite disappointed in such development. Ever since it started, there are now many other SBC makers and they actually make way cooler SBCs either in terms of value or in raw power, the only thing holding them back is lack of software support and lack of proper drivers.

My latest mistake...

I've been wanting a PowerColor Red Devil card for a while, and with prices falling, I figured I'd jump on one.

Buyer's remorse is fun. We'll see what happens when it arrives.

Well, it came! Was going to install tonight but I am tired, so will do tomorrow while the kids are at school.

Even more M.2 coolers?... Nice ones though.

Didn't your motherboard not come with some basic M.2 cooling?

Till sofar both M.2's of mine stay around 46c when running a game of it.

No those are the two I had already, I bought the smaller one hoping I could use it with FC140. FC140 is too big by a couple of mm. My board did come with coolers, and they work well.. but I wanted something different compared to what everyone else is doing

I guess this count's didn't realize they made Smart toothbrushes.... Pretty neat other than it cost as much as an entry level GPU.

Not bad, a 4 year warranty.

ThrashZone · Jun 17, 2022

Hi,
I've bought plenty of items off amazon warehouse which are returned for various reasons including box damage
If the item inside isn't damaged no biggie but a gpu at that price I'd likely return
That might effect rma if a manufacture saw the damaged box.
